Two becomes three

Hi friends ๐Ÿ˜€ How are you? Hope your morning is going well <3

Weโ€™re spending our last morning in Vegas before hopping on a plane back to Tucsonโ€ฆ letโ€™s see what last-minute shenanigans we get into ๐Ÿ˜‰

In the meantime, Iโ€™m really excited to share some fun news with you.

During our last video, we let ya know that weโ€™ve been wanting to get a baby goat.

goats

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 homeownerโ€™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 outโ€ฆ

(Tiffany!)

but something in my heart was telling me to wait.

Thatโ€™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

dont ask

(Beans with mustard and romaine.. thatโ€™s one of the tamer combos Iโ€™ve come up with, haha)

why Iโ€™ve nixed the wine and cocktails in favor of mocktails

drinks

(peach puree with lime juice and club soda = fantastic)

stopped doing Bodyrock (which I miss like crazy!) and teaching Dance Trance- I didnโ€™t want to overdo it with DT and teaching at the resort, but Iโ€™d like to start up again after the baby is born. me (3)

Iโ€™ve fallen in love with the Snoogle pillow

(Sore hips are pretty much gone!)

and my heart couldnโ€™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 babyโ€™s heartbeat for the first time is a moment that I will never, ever forget <3

(Iโ€™ll be 10 weeks this Wednesdayโ€ฆ 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 wonโ€™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 thatโ€™s beyond cool. See the Family tab at the top?? All of my pregnancy-related posts will go there- Iโ€™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.. itโ€™s a fun adventure, for sure ๐Ÿ™‚

Love you guys <3

Gina

    I just had a baby boy 1 month ago and it has changed my life completely. It’s the most amazing thing and I’m so happy for you. Congratulations and enjoy your pregnancy — it goes so quickly.

  3. Krysta on June 7, 2011 at 2:38 pm

    I KNEW IT! I’ve been a reader for quite a while now (although usually pretty quiet in the comments department) and just had a hunch you were pregnant when you commented about your appetite.

    Oh and CONGRATULATIONS! That is such amazing and awesome news! Looking forward to reading along in your journey to motherhood.

    Yeah! Congratulations!

  32. Holly D on June 7, 2011 at 3:09 pm

    CONGRATS!!! Hopefully the morning sickness is done by now. Once baby is born you really should do some post-baby workout posts! That infamous “innertube” of skin around the waistline after birth is soooooo not appealing! Enjoy every minute of the pregnancy and I will be sure to check the “Family” tab out!

    • Fitnessista on June 7, 2011 at 8:57 pm

      i totally will! i’m interested to see how challenging it is to get things back to normal afterwards

  33. Cristin on June 7, 2011 at 3:12 pm

    Congrats Gina!

  34. danielle on June 7, 2011 at 3:12 pm

  35. Stephanee on June 7, 2011 at 3:13 pm

    Hi Gina! I’ve been reading your blog for a long time and have never commented before, but I really wanted to congratulate you guys! I cried like a baby watching the video of the Pilot’s homecoming, and when I read this post I seriously cheered – right in the lunchroom at work! I’m so happy for you!! Congratulations!!!
