Motivation Monday: Finding Closure
I have been talking a lot about vbacs, natural child birth and my desire to not have a repeat c-section with Fit Baby for months now. I’ve been very excited and eager to get to the point where I could announce the birth of my baby to you all and say “hey I did it!”.… Continue Reading
My Fit Pregnancy Round-up Post
Now that I’m at the tail end of this pregnancy and too big/uncomfortable/exhausted/lazy to do some serious moving, I thought I’d look back and see how I did overall with the last 9 months. Even though I’m not clocking set miles right now, rest assured, I’m still moving, if for no other reason than I’m… Continue Reading
Motivation Monday: Letting go of the Dream
Today marks week 41 of my pregnancy. I’m not going to lie…I’m grumpy, uncomfortable and terrified. I’m scheduled to be induced later this week which is the absolute last thing I want.

Motivation Monday: Braxton Hicks and Baby Kicks
Here we are in week 37. This baby is officially fully cooked. So now…we wait. I’m not the most patient person so now that my sleep is limited to only 2-3 hours each night, my back hurts and a flight of stairs seems like a mountain, you can imagine that I’m getting a bit eager.… Continue Reading
Why I’m Ready to Have this Baby
The internal massages are starting to hurt more than tickle. Hiccups. All. Day. Long. I haven’t seen my feet or legs in forever and I can only imagine the amount of grooming that’s needed to restore them. Shortness of breath walking up the stairs? Boooooooooo! I only fit into tents with arm and head holes.… Continue Reading
