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

    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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    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!

  17. Ann on June 7, 2011 at 5:46 pm

    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!

  18. Tara on June 7, 2011 at 5:48 pm

  29. Diana (Soap & Chocolate) on June 7, 2011 at 6:07 pm

    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. ๐Ÿ™‚

  35. Megan on June 7, 2011 at 6:12 pm

    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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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!!!!

    • Fitnessista on June 7, 2011 at 8:50 pm

      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 ๐Ÿ™‚
      you’re a sweetheart and hope you have a great day <3
