what an incredible journey pregnancy is. its fun to see and feel all of the changes. i have been really surprised to see my body change so quickly this time around. i wasn't even showing at this point with pregnancy 1, and well, i'm definitely sporting the baby bump. most of you see me regularly, so this picture is mainly for my mama, and i like to have pictures to look back on. kind of funny this is my first belly shot. by the way, i am 16 1/2 weeks.- food cravings- smoothies and homemade soups
- tummy popped out way sooner
- feel the baby every once in a while, almost daily now
- hurts to sleep on my back
- still in regular clothes, but preferring all the "low rise" pants
- weight gain- one pound
- energy level is getting back to normal, i don't need naps anymore
- haven't been doing the best at this, but have found out the last week that i feel great when i work out
- appetite has stayed pretty much the same, unlike pregnancy 1 where i was always hungry
- i feel fantastic
- excited to pull out baby clothes and look at them
your advice needed:
i've finally come to terms with the fact that it just isn't practical for me to get to the gym, so i am doing my workouts at home. i have my elliptical and weights, but i am looking for some good workout videos that i can do from home. does anyone have videos you've used that you would recommend? i don't even know where to start, except to ask people.
it would be a sin to not include a picture of porter! he was a bit confused when jared was taking pictures of me since he is normally the one getting his picture taken. he ran over and started posing next to me saying "cheese"... so i took some pictures for him. he likes to look at them after. porter has been under the weather for the past few days and it has been sad, but it seems he is finally on the mends. it was so sad to see him so miserable, but it has been so uplifting to see his upbeat personality coming back. i have to admit, i loved catering to him being sick; i loved all the hugs and cuddles and snuggles. he just wanted loves the whole time he was sick, and how could that not melt your heart?porter-isms: today we went to the store and porter kept giving me things- and telling me, "here mom, take a look." it makes me laugh the way he talks sometimes. i don't know where he picks up some things, like this... that's not a phrase jared and i use, so it makes me laugh.

Look at that cute baby belly! I'm glad things are going well. As for workouts, I've heard the PX 90 workout video will kick your butt! I have relatives that love it. Also, with pregnancy, it might be nice to do a yoga/pilates video. Good luck!
You look so cute! Be careful trying new things while pregnant. I have never done any of the pregnant workout videos, but I know that there are lots out there. I do the Jillian Michaels videos and love them, but that might be better for post baby.
Wow I can't believe you have a real belly! I have a growing tummy but it doesn't look pregnant yet-- just bigger! Yeah, I've heard px90 stuff is really intense. I actually like pilates videos, I think they are gentle and doable but still get you a strong core. I wish I could remember what brand of pilates, but I'mn sure several will work.
I cannot get over how stinking cute you are. I have workout videos GALORE. You should come take my Turbo Jams. I've been doing my Power 90, but Turbo Jams is just getting dusty!
I cant believe you have only gained 1 pound that is great. The best thing I did during my pregnancy was yoga. I did it every morning and nothing to strenuous only about 20 mins a day but it really helped with the back and hip pain and made pushing go really fast for me. I did a TV serious called Nameste, if you have Direct TV it is on FitTV or you can order it online. As for cardio I just did the Elliptical and walking.
i read the previous comments i too think that yoga is the way to go. i wish i had a recommendation for you on what video though. i love the prego belly!
You are darling and looking gorgeous!
Pretty Sure Dora and Diego say "Take a look".
You look gorgeous by the way. And glad you are feeling better.
