First Trimester Recap + Video

This is a combination blog post + a video update. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant with baby number 3! If you missed our pregnancy announcement you can watch the video HERE. Baby Updates We had two ultrasounds done during the first trimester. The first was because I didn't actually believe I was pregnant and needed to see a baby growing inside of me and the second was to measure and test for down syndrome and any other potential developmental concerns. Both ultrasounds looked great. On a side note, I have several fibroids that are also being monitored during these ultrasounds. So far they haven't caused any issue for the baby and I am praying that they don't get any bigger. Weight Gained During the first trimester I gained 10 pounds.

This is one of the reasons many of my posts with the kids images have been removed from this blog. If you have been a reader of this blog you know that Josh doesn't show up often here on The Workout Mama but in reality he is the biggest reason this blog even exists. He is such a huge supporter of me and my dreams and has always encouraged me in any venture I have wanted to pursue. He is my biggest fan and one of my favorite people and I am happy to call him my husband. Which is why I am super excited to introduce you to our new project … [Read more...]
