Well I am officially in my 25th week of pregnancy and I must say, I love being pregnant. Call me crazy but I have had such an amazing experience so far. Everything new (whether it is good or bad) has been such a great experience, my body is continuing to change, baby is growing and kicking more than ever and I love it. My first trimester was rough with morning sickness and fatigue, I felt like I slept ALL the time. As I moved into my second trimester, I experienced and continue to experience heartburn, bleeding gums, round ligament pain, dry nose, my belly itches and it is getting hard to touch my toes haha. However, we also got to find out we are having a boy, he kicks like crazy and my heart fills with joy every time I feel it. The nursery is almost finished, we have two names picked out and we continue to plan for this amazing bundle of joy that is coming our way in just a few short months.
My eating has been, by no means perfect. I stay pretty close to my clean eating routine during the week but if I want a dessert or crave something a little more on the unhealthy side, I eat it. One HUGE difference I believe is my working out. I have consistently worked out throughout this entire pregnancy, even during the rough first few months when all I wanted to do was sleep. It has been tough at times but it has been so worth it. I truly believe my body has reacted so well to pregnancy due to my consistency in working out and staying active. I have also continued to drink Shakeology on top of taking my prenatal pills which has been a wonderful addition as well.
Overall, my first pregnancy has been amazing and I am so excited to meet this beautiful baby boy! He will be an amazing addition to our family. It will be a shake up for the animals but mama and daddy to be are beyond thrilled.
