Bump Update at 21 Weeks Half way there folks!!! I cant even believe it… this has been such a wonderful journey for me and I have been fortunate to love every moment of pregnancy thus far. My bump is growing weekly … and my plan is to keep you up to date on my journey every week til the baby’s eviction. Included will be the good, the bad & the ugly. Size: The Baby is the size of a mango! Weighing in at nearly 1 lb, baby is growing at a lightening speed rate. Weight Gain: I have gained 10lbs total so far… and my pre pregnancy tights are getting pretty snug around the middle! Symptoms: The never ending sneezes / nasal congestion. That has been a side effect for me from week one, but fortunately that is all I have to report this week. Favorite wardrobe piece to wear right now: My beyond yoga, Cross It Back Maternity Midi Legging, they pass the test to any yoga class, strength training or class I have taught thus far and leave me feeling comfortable and secure during my workouts. I have tried sooo many brands of maternity tights and I am having the most success with these. They are more expensive then other brands, but I will be able to wear them well into motherhood. Boy or Girl: Nothing to report here yet! Stay tuned : ) Nursery Update: Our little baby will be sharing their nursery with their big brother Hawkins. We have all the furniture in place and Hawks bedding was the newest edition this week. We went with pottery barn, Rugby Stripe Quilt, Size Twin, Gray/White and has his pillow sham monogramed with his name. Pregnancy related item I have loved this week: My Beautycounter Smoothing Baby Oil, it’s a quick dry body oil that helps to moisturize my growing tummy and prevent stretch marks. I also love that every ingredient used represents our mission at beautycounter, to achieve a higher standard of safety in skincase and cosmetics. Baby Dow will certaintly be a beautycounter baby. 1 thing I am currently having trouble with: Keeping up with how frequently I need to use the bathroom. I am drinking A LOT of water in order to keep me and baby hydrated and I have to use the bathroom very often! Thankfully my clients are being great about it. 1 moment I loved about this past week: Sitting around the dinner table with my close family and sharing in all their discussions about having a new edition to our family. Everyone is so excited to meet this little one and its nice to be surrounded by so much love! 1 thing I plan to do for myself this week: Look for a pair of comfortable, stylish boots that will pair well with my go to leggings and cardigan look this season! Food cravings: Blueberries! I am finishing off pints of blueberries like its my full time job! I guess it could be worse right… Currently working on: My workouts have really been built on the focus of opening my hips and increasing my flexibility while building strength. Lots of yoga! Stay tuned for Bump Update next week! xoxo
