Growing Ghoens: Week 20 Bumpdate

Time for our Week 20 Bump Date.. & incase y'all didn't do the math, we're HALFWAY through this shindig!!

How did that happen already??

Okay, how about the highlights, baby bear..

- You play the bongos on my insides now & I LOVE it!

- You wake me up in the middle of the night to pee 10 times.. amongst all the other reasons we wake up at night.

- I finished reading a book about how to get you to sleep 12 hours by 12 weeks.. let's see if we can make it happen.

- We finished week THREE of our 21 Day Fix Extreme program.

- I started having to wear your dad's PJs the night after I took this photo. They fix PERFECTLY!

And the BIG one..

We had your 20 week ULTRASOUND & got to see your little hands & feet.

Your dad and I both got choked up watching you wiggle. It was the sweetest.

You did NOT want a profile shot of your little face, but we did get a quick peek.

The ultrasound technician said you weren't very cooperative, but I think it was further confirmation that you're my child.

We confirmed that our DNA testing was right & you're a precious baby GIRL!!

Mommy whipped up a sweet video of the ring test we did before Christmas + your original gender reveal & shared it with the world.

I cried half the time I was making your video & every time I watched it afterwards.

Sweet pea, you are SUCH a blessing to us!

Every time I think this just can't get any better, you surprise me somehow.

What we're eating lately:

BREAKFAST (protein pancakes, scrambled eggs & turkey bacon.. the works)

Tomatoes with pink himalayan sea salt. YUM!

Greenberry Shakeology with frozen mangos.. like a POPSICLE!

So here we are.

Over the hump.

Loving every minute of this adventure.

Imagining what it will be like to snuggle you.

Savoring this season.. take your time growing in there.

But know we can't wait to meet you.

Drum on, baby G. Your beats are my fave.

Growing Ghoens: Week 19 Bumpdate

Welcome to our week 19 "bump date."

Baby cub, you must've read my blog last week because this week, I got the most precious gift a few days ago.. BABY KICKS!!!!

*heart melting*

I started feeling them on Wednesday, but your daddy didn't get to feel them until a couple days later in the middle of the night.. that's when you seem to be most active, little one. Or maybe it's just when I notice it the most.

Do you get annoyed with my poking or squishing?

Your kicks are addicting - I couldn't just have one!! I promise I'll be gentle, but having the reassurance that you're moving around in my tummy is just the BEST!!

My belly grew even more this week, peanut.

And I officially ROCKED your bump this weekend for a wedding. It was my first time not hiding it at all (besides our secluded beach trip last weekend) & there was NO question about whether or not I was expecting a baby...

We got lots of questions about how excited we are for you to join our world :) 

Our 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts are going great, BUT we did slip up a couple of days on our meal plan. Yikes!! We're back at it though now. Gotta stay our healthiest!!

Night time is getting tougher - I can't really seem to get comfortable or fall into a deep sleep. We're going to have to get a little creative & start diffusing oils again.

I wonder if you like the smell of lavender & citrus like I do?

The countdown is ON to your next ultrasound.

In a matter of DAYS we'll get to see how much you've changed the past 8 weeks.

We even get to confirm your gender & share it soon with our friends & the rest of our family.

I'm little giddy to see your face, hands & feet.

To see your heart, spine & noggin.

To hear ALL is well & that you're growing strong.

Until then, we'll stay patient & soak up your kicks..

Mama & Papa bear love you, pumpkin!!

January 2017 Coaching Sneak Peek

BUSY girls who still want more outta life.

Who refuse to settle.

Who are willing to sacrifice now to experience freedom later.

Who want to be their BEST, healthiest self.

Who want to break CHAINS.

Who want to defeat the odds & overcome self doubt.

.

Maybe you crave to be more present in life // Maybe you dream of being debt free // Possibly you'd even just like to save up for a vacation or be able to afford a baby sitter once a month.

.

Whatever IT is, you've got this void or this dream even, but that's all it is for now. Just a dream.

.

What if I told you I could help you make it happen?

.

What if I told you that taking care of yourself & helping others could literally be the solution or next step you didn't know you were waiting for?

.

Welp, if you never ask or never investigate, you'll never know.

.

So here's what I'm doing.

.

I'm hosting a private, online, 4 day SNEAK PEEK group starting tomorrow (January 18th) that is self paced & obligation free.

.

I'm going to share some real life stories - including mine. I'm going to answer questions - nothing is off limits.

.

But here's the deal.. if you're willing to WORK, you'd be amazed at what's possible. The rest you will learn as you go.

.

There's no experience (life or learned) required to do what I do.

Just a willingness to be coached & commitment to do your BEST, even when you may not feel like it.

.

Want to find out more without feeling pressured?

Just HERE to request to join my group!
