Two becomes three
Hi friends 😀 How are you? Hope your morning is going well <3
We’re spending our last morning in Vegas before hopping on a plane back to Tucson… let’s see what last-minute shenanigans we get into 😉
In the meantime, I’m really excited to share some fun news with you.
During our last video, we let ya know that we’ve been wanting to get a baby goat.
It would be a great friend for Bella, we had a name picked out (Greta!!), and were anxious to build it its own area in our new backyard.
We found out our homeowner’s association would not allow a goat (wahh!!), the Pilot went back to Valdosta to finish up work before moving to Tucson, and I decided I was going to get a puppy instead.
My mom took me to the Humane Society and we picked one out…
(Tiffany!)
but something in my heart was telling me to wait.
That’s because I was pregnant already, and had no idea <3
So that my friends, is why my appetite has been all over the place
(Beans with mustard and romaine.. that’s one of the tamer combos I’ve come up with, haha)
why I’ve nixed the wine and cocktails in favor of mocktails
(peach puree with lime juice and club soda = fantastic)
stopped doing Bodyrock (which I miss like crazy!) and teaching Dance Trance- I didn’t want to overdo it with DT and teaching at the resort, but I’d like to start up again after the baby is born. 
I’ve fallen in love with the Snoogle pillow
(Sore hips are pretty much gone!)
Veganaise
and my heart couldn’t be happier that the Pilot is here with me the entire time and that we get to share this together.
Having him in the room to hold my hand as we heard the baby’s heartbeat for the first time is a moment that I will never, ever forget <3
A pic of the little grape, who will make his/her grand debut around Jan. 5th 🙂
(I’ll be 10 weeks this Wednesday… keeping it a secret this long has been ROUGH, but many of you guessed already)
The blog is going to stay exactly the same and won’t be turning into a pregnancy/baby/family blog. I understand that pregnancy is an uncomfortable subject for many to read about, and also know that some of you have no interest in it at all, and that’s beyond cool. See the Family tab at the top?? All of my pregnancy-related posts will go there- I’ve actually been writing posts this entire time and should have them up there by tonight, tomorrow at the latest.
Thank you so much for sticking around with me through all of the crazy twists and turns in my life.. it’s a fun adventure, for sure 🙂
Love you guys <3
Gina

I know I am not a frequent commenter on your blog but I do read often…and wanted to congratulate you and the Pilot on adding to your family…very wonderful news! It’s great that you want to share the ride with your readers, while not changing the focus of your blog. Best wishes for the next several months and beyond!
Congratulations Gina+Pilot, so happy and excited for you both and wish you ALL THE VERY BEST! xxoo
I knew it!! I knew it!! I knew it!!
You can’t say “my appetite has been wonky” more than once to not have us suspect 🙂
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been reading for a few years, but don’t comment often. I figured you were pregnant from the recent posts, but mainly,…because I am also and we are due on the SAME DATE! Jan. 5, 2012! 🙂 Crazy! Congrats and can’t wait to keep reading more. 🙂

I’m so late but OMG! OMG! OMG! Congrats to you and pilot!!! So happy for you both!

Congratulations to you and pilot. I am so happy for y’all!
Congrats! As a mom of two boys, 9 and 12, I’m constantly looking for other blogs that can relate healthy food with a versy busy lifestyle. I’m anxious to see your dinner choices as your two becomes three. So happy for you!
Gina,
You are mega babe and when two become three its going to be magical.. All the love and support for you the pea and the pilot.

Wow, congrats! So happy for you!
I almost cried tears of joy when I read this! This is such wonderful news for the two of you, I couldn’t think of two people more deserving. You are truly blessed & lucky : )
Congratulations to both of you!! Exciting news!
So all those subtle hints were true! 😉 Congratulations!!! I’ve been a long-time lurker but can’t help saying congratulations to you and the Pilot. I know you’ll both make a wonderful, supportive, loving home for your growing family. I look forward to continuing to follow your adventures in this next exciting phase!
CONGRATS!!! Thought I would come out of lurkdome again to thank you for sharing the happy news with us all! It will be fun to read your posts and enjoy someone elses experience since we are done having kids! It’s so amazing when you actually meet your baby and I loved seeing my husband become an incredible father instantly! At risk of being an annoying stranger giving unsolicited advice, thought I would suggest something doctors now may now already recommend….consider getting your vitamin D levels checked and supplement even more than the multi-vitamin if needed (and advised by the Dr.). Since you are a health expert you probably already know too many people have really low vitamin D and researchers are even starting to find simply giving pregnant women who need it extra vitamin D is really good for the developing fetus and may help prevent some issues.
I haven’t read your blog (or any other blog) in a while because my wedding is weeks away, we’re moving, looking for new jobs, etc. (Just wanted you to know how crazy I’ve been to not be checking in!), but today I stopped and thought…I need to check in, and I found this great news!! Congratulations! It’s so exciting, and I can’t imagine how thrilled you are. Also, Jan. 5th is a great due date–my birthday! 🙂
thank you! happy wedding to you 🙂
xoxo
