32 Weeks Pregnancy Update

HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU?  32 weeks today. It’s getting real y’all!

 

GENERALLY FEELING: EXHAUSTED. Granted we did just get back from a whirlwind weekend in Dallas, but I just wear out so much more easily now. A girlfriend of mine said it best the other day – being pregnant with a toddler isn’t the same as just being pregnant. A whole new world!

 

SHOWING? What you see in the above photo is my current view…so yes. Showing. Quite a bit 🙂

 

CRAVINGS? Honestly I didn’t eat very well this past weekend, so I’m craving lots of veggies right now. And reasonable portions. Are we sure I’m pregnant?!

 

WEIGHT GAIN: Not tracking it, but my doctor has said I’m completely in the normal range and doing well!

 

FEARS: I’m starting to worry about the logistics of having two kids, especially at the beginning. Whether I’m able to have a VBAC or not there will still be a decent chunk of time that I have to physically heal, and I’m worried that I may not have my stuff together. I suppose no one ever really knows what all could happen, but simple things like going to the bathroom and showering (which, let’s be real, I struggle with anyway) are going to become super difficult for a while!

 

LOOKING FORWARD TO: I can’t wait to hear his first cries and see his sweet face. It’s just getting so real for us now!

 

WHAT I’VE BEEN LOVING: Our little bug is a moving, kicking, punching machine. While I’m not a huge fan of getting punched in the bladder so frequently, if it means he’s healthy and active then I’ll take it!

 

SLEEP: Ugh. Sleep has been hard lately for the sole fact that I can’t get comfortable in any position. I’m usually a stomach sleeper, which isn’t possible right now, but sleeping on my back sounds soooo nice. Too bad it’s not an option right now!

 

MATERNITY CLOTHES: I’m finally starting to realize that I may not be pregnant forever and that no, I don’t need to buy more maternity clothes. It’s time to focus on things like nursing bras and hospital bags and postpartum underwear (that phrase should bring in some fun searches!) – so strange! It really does feel like yesterday that we found out we were even pregnant, and now he’s almost here. I can’t believe it!

    YaY!! You are so close to the finish line. That fear about how in the world to handle 2 in the beginning? Yeah, it’s definitely been keeping me up at night. Somehow we can handle this, right?! 🙂 Let’s do this, home stretch!!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Affirmations for YOU today. Even when you don’t Affirmations for YOU today. Even when you don’t feel it, these are truths that I’m holding for you. ❤️
3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog 😂 Who else feels me here? 🙋🏼‍♀️ #dogdays #2020mood
