Pregnancy Journal & Bump Date: 36 Weeks

WOW…. what a week! Baby Ky as of this morning’s check-up is measuring BIG. Like 6 pounds 5 ounces big. 😳 And is measuring somewhere between the size of a head of romaine lettuce and a Ukelele. 😂 Which has meant A LOT more pressure on mamas hindquarters and pelvis 😫, so it’s been LOW impact workouts, swimming, and yoga ONLY. Especially with ALL we have had going on in life. First, Nana (my mom) headed back home and my grandfather unexpectedly passed away over the weekend. On Monday, I thought I was starting to have back labor and scurried…

Pregnancy Journal & Bump Date: 35 Weeks

Wednesday is “BUMP day” for this crew and at #35weekspregnant Nana (my mom) joined Mac and me for an appointment today to see what Miss Ky has been up to. Baby girl is 5 pounds 1 ounce, and approximately the size of a Honey Dew Melon. 🍈 She is still breech, but we are maintaining our optimism and believing that if she’s anything like her mama, this little lady does things in her own time and NOT a moment before. 😊 Plus, if she’s half as stubborn as her daddy and I combined, I know not to rush her agenda.…

Healthy Gut for Weight Loss & Better Immunity

Oh, goodness… the things I do in the name of health! 😳😂 Anyone tried GUT SHOTS before?!

So I’m bolstering up my daily intake of superfoods and throwing back gut shots, apple cider vinegar, and getting all my favorite essential oil blends going. Did  you know the gut is often referred to as the second brain?!? AND having an unhealthy gut can actually hinder your ability to drop extra pounds AND fight off infection?!? So what can…

Pregnancy Journal & Bump Date: 34 Weeks

Wow… it’s been a BIG week! And I’m not just talking about how much this bump AKA Ky has grown. 😉 We are now #34WeekPregnant and baby girl is approaching 5 pounds and the size of a very heavy cantaloupe. Our BIG announcement and new development is that my hubby returned home from deployment a month earlier than we ever thought possible AND my mama arrived on the same day! We are now in full-blown “prepare for baby Ky” mode. Their arrival was perfectly timed too. While I’m grateful to have been so active (and still plan to be), I…

The “pineapples” of my eye 🍍😍 #33WeeksPregnant Bump Date. And as of this morning, big sister to be (Mac) and I learned at our ultrasound that baby Ky is 4 pounds 9 ounces and approximately the size of a pineapple🍍and on track to be about 7-8 pounds at 40 weeks (same as big sister was). Baby girl is still breech, but we’ve been doing “spinning babies” for a little over a week, and are optimistic that she’ll be head down by “go time” Here’s hoping 🤞🏼 anyway. Just last week we got some REALLY FANTASTIC news that I can’t yet share…
