Two becomes three
Hi friends ๐ How are you? Hope your morning is going well <3
Weโre spending our last morning in Vegas before hopping on a plane back to Tucsonโฆ letโs see what last-minute shenanigans we get into ๐
In the meantime, Iโm really excited to share some fun news with you.
During our last video, we let ya know that weโve 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 homeownerโs 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 outโฆ
(Tiffany!)
but something in my heart was telling me to wait.
Thatโs 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.. thatโs one of the tamer combos Iโve come up with, haha)
why Iโve 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 didnโt want to overdo it with DT and teaching at the resort, but Iโd like to start up again after the baby is born.
Iโve fallen in love with the Snoogle pillow
(Sore hips are pretty much gone!)
Veganaise
and my heart couldnโt 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 babyโs 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 ๐
(Iโll be 10 weeks this Wednesdayโฆ 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 wonโt 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 thatโs beyond cool. See the Family tab at the top?? All of my pregnancy-related posts will go there- Iโve 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.. itโs a fun adventure, for sure ๐
Love you guys <3
Gina
Congratulations Gina!
Congratulations!! Such exciting news! January babies born in Arizona are the best…. Trust me, I know of what I speak, since I have one of those. ๐
I never had typical ‘ice cream and pickles’ cravings but I do remember eating a lot of refried beans, so your bean, lettuce, mustard combo made me chuckle.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy!
Congratulations!!! Your blog rocks and is an inspiration!! Keep up with your book idea!! How is that going?

Congrats, Gina and Pilot. ๐ If your personality/temperament is even a 16th of what it reads like here you’re going to be one amazingly fun/cool/loving Mom. ๐
Congrats, Gina + Pilot! You are going to make a fabulous Momma! I read your blog every day but for some reason had NO idea. What a wonderful surprise. So excited for you both.
So very happy for you and the pilot! And what perfect timing now that you’ll be moving into your new home and all settled together in Tucson. I wish you an uneventful first trimester (I recommend peanut butter and saltines, and lots of naps…), and lots of happiness and joy!
Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you! I know that you’ve sort of mentioned wanting to have kids soon on the blog, but I had no idea when that time would come so it was such a nice surprise to read this!
OH MY GOSH CONGRATULATIONS! Ahh how cute the little grape is already!

CONGRATS to you and The Pilot!! I’m a long time reader of your blog and I feel so happy for you-just as if I was congratulating a friend ๐
It’s hard to know how to spell my reaction to this…I guess it’s something like, “aosiosr98jwa9ekjdsnvifgo9whjrhu!!!!!!!!!!!!!” (You had to be there, I guess.) So happy for you and the Pilot–I think you’re going to be amazing parents. And you’ll make it fun, too. I want lessons, when my own day comes. ๐
Congrats!

Congrats Gina! This is awesome news!
congrats! i have been reading your blog for a while now and am so excited to hear such exciting news!
Oh my goodness! I saw that title expecting to get all gushy about your new goat, but you’ve got a little tiny fitness/pilot in the oven! A HUGE congrats to you both, simply amazing!
Congrats Gina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The title made me think baby, but then you threw me off with the goat story!!!! I’m probably just naive but I had NO IDEA!!! You’re darn good at keeping secrets ๐ Although maybe it’s a little weird that I’m this excited for someone I’ve never met, I’m pretty much peeing myself with happiness right now. I am sooo excited for you and your new addition (how LUCKY this little one will be with you and the Pilot as parents!) and soooo impressed that your first trimester has been so freaking clean, with great eats and exercise and such a hectic schedule! Holy smokes girl! SOO CONGRATSSS!!!!
thanks so much, girl! it’s been rough to eat healthily (all i want is carbs!!) but the pilot has been sweet to make me healthy food. it’s weird, i’ll eat it if someone else makes it, but can’t make it myself ๐
you’re a sweetheart and hope you have a great day <3
CONGRATS!!! I started tearing up when I read this post. So happy for you, Gina <3
