17 weeks!
🗓time has flown!
Baby Size: Dill pickle
🥒 or an onion 
🌰
It was so great to see her little face in our ultrasound last week! She looks prettyyyyyy cozy right up against my bladder (mama is feeling it
🚽lol)
Getting used to this body- I keep banging my hips into the corner of our island
🤷🏼♀️ The bloating has been crazy 
🎈
Feeling: REMARKABLY better! I'm human again! Occasional moments of nausea but overall more mental clarity and energy!
⚡️
Current challenge: RESTLESS LEGS 🏃♀️
Walking/stretching helps but I wake Rich up nearly every hour with my spastic limbs
🤦🏼♀️
23 more weeks to go!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!

Our first 3D/4D ultrasound of our little girl!
100 DAYS
Happy ONE-HUNDO to us!
Officially 100 days pregnant with this little fruit cup.
Our baby girl is just peachy in there
🍑🍑🍑. She's already grown from the size of a grape 
🍇just 5 weeks ago! While the 2nd trimester is REMARKABLY better... I am still heaving over the sink, trash can, toilet LOL
And daddy keeps forgetting why I am soooo tired (and moody...?
😇😇😇) 
😝
😚But we're on the upswing...and the belly is growing!
⬅️
➡️Here's to another 25 weeks & 4 days
14 Weeks
My new favorite outfit for the next 20-30 weeks or so😝
My little fruit cup is officially 14 weeks along and the size of a lemon! We're quite sure SHE (omg she!) might turn INTO a lemon with how many I've eaten
🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋LOL
Now that I'm feeling better, my face is clearing up and my morning sickness has calmed down (still throwing up just not as often lol)... I'm ready to rock this trimester!
Returning to normal (paleo) foods... regular eating schedule and amping up my physical activity! Wooo!!
PS!! Can you spot my polar bear baby? He's never far from momma (and baby)!

While at a stop light (en route to the doctor), a nice gentlemen accidentally took his foot off the brake and bumped us. Thankfully the damage is minimal but that's never fun to deal with
🚙

But the day turned around and Rich treated me & baby to some gluten free pizza hehe
