First Trimester in Review

WOW! Time has gone by so fast. I can't believe I'm already 13 weeks. Here's what's been going on:

Morning sickness? NOPE not a single day of it. How lucky am I? Extremely is the answer. I've had a little indigestion (nothing tums couldn't handle) but other than that I've been blessed.

Soooo Sleepy: I seriously couldn't keep my eyes open. I took naps in my car during my lunch hour. I mean pre-pregnancy I loved to sleep but now I can't get enough of it. People say it'll pass...I'm waiting.

Hunger: I'm starving All. The. Time. These little boogers love to eat and eat and eat. I'm trying to eat clean but it's not always filling. I won't lie - I've had a cheeseburger or two.

CrossFit: I'm still WODing it up. Of course, I've turned it down quite a bit. Watching my breathing, lowering my weight. This past week I've noticed major differences in my strength. I've gone to knee push-ups. I attempt as many pull-ups as I can, but finish up with ring rows. I quit box jumps as soon as I found out I was pregnant and am doing step ups instead.  Running is out...the back pain has gotten bad. I'm not squatting below parallel...which is EXTREMELY difficult. I won't lie... I stood in the bathroom of the gym and almost cried. It's a humbling experience but I know it's worth it and I'll get my strength back in no time. At least I can still workout.

Mrs. Cranky Pants: Yup, imagine that. I will say it's gotten better then last week but I was a major pain in the ass the first trimester. All those hormones on top of an already crazy lady. Poor Gibby. I thank God he is so patient and understanding.

I've been truly blessed in the pregnancy so far and I'm loving it.

All The Best,
D, LG, and BG

Twins!

So I'm excited to announce that David and I are expecting twins in October! We are elated! It's been a long journey - we tried for over a year and had a loss, but this is definitely a blessing and God has answered our prayers (twice).

 

Can't wait to keep everyone updated on our journey....stand by for more!

Love,

Dawn, Lil' Gibby, and Baby G
