Baby Update

Pregnancy is not an easy thing, at least to me it's not. Lots of worry and stress and a lot of lifestyle and body changes, but I've definitely tried to keep up exercising and have gotten really excited when it comes to planning and shopping for the nursery, clothing, etc. Lucky for me my husband is AMAZING and has been so helpful along the way.
 
We can't wait to meet our son, Jackson Colt this July!
 
Yes that's the name! We came up with a few, but this one really stuck with us and I love it!
IT'S A BOY!! Our first family photo- 16 weeks

The growing bump!

22 weeks, ran Rock and Roll DC 5k

Oh baby baby...

It's true.
I know some thought the day may never come, but the hubs and I decided it was time to expand our family and have a child that does have 4 legs and a tail :) After a little bit of trying, we found out the good news early November.

 
We told family and friends with this surprise Christmas card.
We did a photoshoot before Thanksgiving for the announcement card photos with Perks Photography, who is owned by an old friend of mine Anthea. She is so creative and was able to get some really amazing pictures of us that Sunday evening.

As soon as we found out we were expecting, I bought a bunch of books and we bought a nice camera. We have taken weekly pics of my belly from the front and side, along with other funny pictures to remember this time. I plan to put them all together in a nice memory album.
 
It's really bizarre to watch my baby bump grow and my physical appearance change and finding clothes that I like wearing! Going from a size 0 and wearing almost anything to being a little more selective is def a challenge!
 

 
I am still working out a lot- doing Bodypump, Piyo, and some jogging. Plan is to get my post baby body back ASAP!
 
Stay tuned for lots more baby posts. Planning a maternity clothing post, nursery decoration post, and others :)

Labor Day Weekend- Florida!


This past holiday weekend, my husband, dad, and I decided to take a last minute trip to the beautiful beaches in Florida to visit family. It was a quick getaway, but we had a blast! And yes- take the people out of Mt, but we still eat our steamed crabs :) We stayed in Indian Rocks Beach, which is about 30 minutes from Tampa and a few minutes from Clearwater. The sand is white and the water is crystal clear- it really doesn't get much better!

Stay-Cation


In July I took off and used vacation for a "stay-cation" and spent the week with my family, who was in town visiting from Florida. This quote about sums it up!
 
Here are some pics from the week:

View from my dad's house where I grew up! Feels good to be back there with family :)
