6 months!!

We have made it to the six month mark!! I cannot believe how fast this is going by. My first pregnancy I was so worried about everything going well and I just couldn't wait for it to be over so I could meet my little prince. Don't get me wrong this time around I cant wait to meet him but I love being pregnant and want to be able to enjoy our last couple months with Ryker as an only child. His world is going to drastically change and I worried how he is going to handle it. He has had mommy's full attention for almost two years now. I know he is going to be a great big brother but how well will he do sharing his mommy? I'm sure all second time Mom's go through these fears. If you have any advice on making the transition easier feel free to comment. Any ways we are planning on a day at the park and a cook out. Its suppose to be in the 60's! Woohoo :) Easter weekend is in full relaxation mode! We dyed eggs last night and left me tell you Ryk love it! But he got mad when he couldn't play with them. Ill post more later. I hope you all have a great Easter Weekend!!

23 week update

Hello All! I hope everyone is doing well on the Thursday morning! I know I sure am! My workouts are going great. I've gotten in 5 days of cardio and strength training every other day. Today's workout will consist of a 40 minute power walk/ jog outside with my little man and the Pregnancy Fitness Second Trimester DVD. The weather is slowly warming up this week so I've been trying to get us outside as much as possible! My eating plan is going well also. I had a small binge two days ago and ate 3 large chocolate chip cookies but other than that its going great. I added my protein shakes back into my diet as one of my five meals a day. They are helping so much with making sure I'm getting the recommended 60-100 grams of protein per day. Today's Shake included: I scoop of vanilla protein (contains 20g of protein), 7 frozen strawberries, 1 medium banana, 1/4 cup plain all natural yogurt and 1.5 cups of water. It was delicious!! We are heading out to do some grocery shopping and then dinner with some of the girls. I hope you all have a great day and check back tomorrow for my 24 week photo!! I cannot believe 6 months has gone by!!

Here's my 23 week photo

Bump Pictures

Working out and eating healthy has been going well! I am working out at least 4 times a week and most weeks its 6 days. We took a mini vacation to head home and visit family. The cold weather and snow have made it very hard to workout outside so I've mainly been doing my DVD's and a couple pinterest workouts.

I am so very pleased and proud to announce we are expecting our second son!! It's A BOY!! We are so excited to meet him! Ryk is super pumped to be a big brother! Mommy knew right away I was blessed with another Prince, the tech slowly typed it out which killed my husband! He is one proud Papa!


He is one proud big brother! We had planned to take announcement pictures outside but due to bad weather we improvised.
