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

How exciting! I’ve been reading your blog for about a year and was disappointed to read that you guys didn’t have any family plans for a while haha, mostly because I am actually pregnant myself and love reading about fellow pregnant bloggers. Our bean is due Oct. 22nd! Enjoy your 9 months, I’ll love to read all about it!
Hi Gina , Im so glad you had a terrific time in Vegas and i want to say CONGRATULATIONS to you and the pilot!! you will have a very good looking baby!
OMG OMG OMG!!!! I had a feeling… !!! I am so excited for you and so look forward to baby posts. <3
Oh, forgot to ask: are you going to post a picture of the 20 week ultrasound too and will you find out the gender or keep it a secret? That part is so exciting!
i’m not sure yet… we can’t wait to find out though!
Enjoy every second! I was pregnant last summer, I miss it so much! Although, having the actually baby IS the best thing ever! Congrats to you, I hope you have an easy breezy pregnancy!
PS I don’t comment much, but I read a lot and my preggy senses were saying pregnant from your appetite, I was so sick the first few months, I ate the weirdest things! ๐
