23 week update...

I hope you and yours had a wonderful thanksgiving! My thanksgiving was exactly what I had hoped for.  It was a relaxing day filled with laughter, love, and delicious food! 


Just one of the delicious turkeys we had! 


My handsome hubby and my beautiful niece playing play dough on the couch after yummy turkey dinner! 

Loving me some holidays! I have been decorating for Christmas all weekend.  Christmas shopping is almost done!  I love this time of year =) 


In other news, we are currently 23 weeks 4 days along in the pregnancy!  Last night my husband was finally able to feel the baby kick =) I have been feeling him kick around for a few days now, but my babe was unable to feel movement on the outside of my belly.  I have an anterior placenta (placenta is directly in front of the little one) which basically means that baby has a few extra layers to kick through.  As a result, I felt him move much later in the pregnancy than some others without an anterior placenta may have.  Last night was a special and memorable moment for us.  

Just a quick pregnancy rant for you all! My goodness I am getting slower and slower in my workouts! I am someone who enjoys working out (jogging, HIIT, pilates, kettle bells, you name it!).  I try for a minimum of 30 minutes a day depending on my schedule.  I have tried to remain consistent in my workouts (with the approval of my baby doctor I should add!), however I am noticing it has been struggle city for me lately. My runs take me much longer (not to mention the bathroom break every mile or so), my HIIT workouts are all done with the modifications for the most part, and my muscles tire out much faster.  Thank goodness for the motivating powers of fitnessblender and blogilates!  Without these two YouTube channels, my pregnancy workouts may have been nonexistent! 

Anyway, finishing up work and headed for my 24 week checkup with my babe! 116 more days little one!
