Fitness and Baby, week 36

Week 36 that belly button is looking weirder by the day!! How I'm feeling: Every day brings discomfort of some sort. I think the most uncomfortable part is the pressure/pain in my pubic area. It's not an all day thing but it's definitely something that happens every day at this point. I definitely remember this …

Fitness and baby, weeks 27 and 28

Happy third trimester!!! I decided I'd count 27 weeks as my official 3rd tri, though the internet says all sorts of things. How I'm Feeling: Well, I definitely feel pregnant.

Fitness and Baby, Week 25

Week 25 (I think my belly looks smaller in the pic than it actually is but this was the only pic I had) How I'm Feeling: Once again, I absolutely cannot complain-I feel great! I definitely feel pregnant at times but the discomfort is so minimal, it's easy to forget. This week, I noticed some …

Fitness and Baby, Week 20

Week 20 I think this pic makes me look smaller than I look in actuality. Here are two pics from later that day that show the contrast in angles How I'm Feeling: Can't complain. I had one day of nausea/fatigue where I left work early. On the way home, I could hardly keep my eyes …

Fitness and Baby, week 19

Week 19 How I'm feeling: I still say that overall, I feel good. But, I feel pregnant. Which means that by the end of the day, energy is wavering, I feel huge and unmotivated. Which is why 5am workouts are crucial at this point! As far as my sleep goes, it's has been unusually good …

Training and Baby, Week 18

Rolling into week 18: How I'm Feeling: pretty damn good! After last weeks fluke morning sickness (maybe), I've felt pretty good. Sleep has been good as well- I haven't had to sleep on the couch in over a week. I'm tired at the end of the day but I'm pretty sure I'd feel similarly not …

Training and Baby, Week 17

This was such an exciting week-we finally shared our pregnancy on social media and received an outpouring of love. Before we shared, I wanted to hear the babies heartbeat one more time and after that, I felt ready. We shared this pic, taken by my friend and fellow Cleveland Marathon Ambassador Leah Backo (go check …

Training and Life Recap-week 14
