In this house “hump day” is BUMP DAY. 🤰🏼🙌🏼 This week we’re celebrating  #30weekspregnant. And these growth comparison charts make me giggle cause according to which one you check, Kyla (aka Baby Ky) is somewhere between the size of a cucumber 🥒 or a large head of cabbage. But since big-sister-to-be Mac loves cucumbers, they are never in short supply around here so cucumber it is!  One thing is FACT… This babe is GROWING and is weighing in over 3 pounds and is breech, meaning my poor bladder is taking some extra “love”  and this mama never strays too far from the loo (just keeping…

Pregnancy Journal & Bump Date: 29 Weeks

29 week Bump Date 🙌🏼 and we got to see Kyla this week with our ultrasound. It was a week early, since I had to go in for my Rhogam Injection. Any other Rh negative mamas out there?

She couldn’t understand why…

One of the most frequent questions I get about my pregnancy is how do you have so much energy and what do you eat? And when I share that ShakeO is one of my everyday staples the inevitable next question is… Is that safe to drink when pregnant???

28 WEEKS Ya’ll!! 🙌🏼We are officially in the #3rdtrimester  I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by! Baby Ky is over 2 pounds, approximately the size of a large eggplant and her hobbies include dancing around mama’s insides and kicking mama’s bladder  I’ve been diligent with working out Errrryday and food wise still craving a plethora of veggies and fruits, loving how healthy fats like Avocado and my Coconut oils (MCT and Brain Octane) in my daily superfoods shake are helping to fuel me and keep me energized. My lower back pain has dissipated and I am thrilled I still…
