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

ahhhh soooooo happy for you!!! 🙂 how exciting!!! congrats to you both!!!
Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you! 🙂 I was definitely wondering if you were when you kept saying your eats were all over the place! Best wishes for your pregnancy journey!
Okay , this is getting boring for you to read now…:-)
But congratulations! I am sure you two are beyond excited for the newest addition. And Bella will have someone more to snuggle, too!
All the best wishes!
You make me smile. every. single. day.
For this, I’ll be forever grateful!
congrats!!! so exciting — and great news that its now that the pilot is home!!
Congratulations! We are due TWO DAYS apart! 🙂
I am SOOOO happy for you!!!! I can’t wait to hear all about your pregnancy shenanagins, please fill us in on all the details!! <3
Congrats on the baby!!!!
I have a 10 week old myself!
I’ll be looking forward to your prenatal workout info, and how you get in shape after.
Lord knows I am nowhere near where I need to be physically still.
OH MY GOSH GINA I am so so so happy and excited for you guys! you are my fav blog couple (shh dont tell anyone) and ahhh.. just overly excited. and what a perfect timing as well.
i have to say i think its a neat idea to separate ‘baby-stuff’ 😉 from your usual blogging, although I can hardly imagine how tough that must be. please feel free to also share your excitement and happiness and random baby shananigens also in your rotuine posts.
ps: thats gonna be one hell of a pretty baby, hehe
I’m am thrilled for you and your man! You are going to be incredible parents!!
Congratulations! That is so exciting! I’ll definitely be keeping up with the family tab! So happy for you two! Way to go 🙂
I am so happy for you! Congrats to you and the Pilot! I think that most of your fans here would not begrudge hearing about your pregnancy and baby updates. It’s so thoughtful of you to sort of try to issolate that, but I suspect you’re going to find that difficult. If you need to just let it out as part of your blogs, I for one will not be put-off (and there are no baby making plans in my future!) Just like I love to read about your Nana feasts and shopping adventures, this will be part of who you are and I can’t wait to read all about your adventures!
xoxoxo

I just texted you a long text! I am so happy for you and the pilot!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!
I am just so excited, can’t even put into words how excited!!!!!!!
Love you to pieces Gina!!!! U are going to be a great mom, Pilot a great dad, and Bella great big sister!!!!!
Congrats to you and the Pilot. It’s funny how someone (like me) who has already had their children can pick up on the smallest changes in another person even though I don’t know you personally. Pregnancy is a wonderful journey and you will enjoy every teeny tiny step. Enjoy every change that will happen to your body and embrace this experience. I look forward to sharing the trip with you.
Hey Gina 🙂
I’ve been reading your blog for over a year now but have never actually built up the guts to leave you a comment lol. You have been such an inspiration to me and my new found love for health and fitness– I would surely still be overweight, unhealthy, and lazy if it weren’t for your daily posts of motivation & positivity.
Anyway, I decided that this would be the perfect post for me to comment on due to the fact that I pretty much screamed out loud when I read that you were pregnant!
Congratulations! I know that you will make a wonderful mother! 🙂
Congratulations!!!
WAHOOO! Congrats! xo
Congratulations! Can’t wait to see fun pictures of you throughout your pregnancy!
Congrats! So happy that your man can be there to share this thrilling time with you! Best wishes to the three of you!
zomg thats wonderful news!you’ll make a wonderful mother. 🙂
COngratulations 🙂 🙂
Congratulations!!! Very exciting news for you and the pilot 🙂
OMG that is so exciting! I actually love reading the Daily Garnish’s pregnancy posts because it’s so great to see someone go through pregnancy while staying healthy instead of using it as an excuse to wash down a quart of ice cream with two slices of pie. Congratulations to you!!

I’m so happy for you guys!!!!! Congrats 🙂

Yayyyy I was hoping this was your news! So happy for you & the pilot! I’m feeling a little weird about being so excited for someone I’ve never met, but SO awesome!
Congratulations, Gina! What wonderful news. It sounds like it is perfect timing. 🙂 I am currently 36 weeks pregnant with my first baby and being pregnant is such an amazing, unexpected experience. You are going to love it (and sometimes hate it ;))! I’m glad to see your family page and am glad you’ll be having at least some posts related to this exciting time in your life. It’s probably because I’m pregnant, but I LOVE reading about the experiences of other expecting moms. It is also awesome to read about “body after baby” because I am anticipating it and it’s just another one of life’s fun fitness challenges. 🙂
Congratulations!! What fantastic news! 🙂
Congrats Gina!!! I saw the update on FB too! So so happy for you and the pilot. I’m so excited to follow you along on this journey and read your pregnancy posts….I love how you all (Sabrina, Emily, etc.) are preggers, especially since my hubby and I want to start trying this summer so I have tremendous baby fever and can’t wait to read your posts about it. I understand that your blog will remain the same (which I’m happy about!) but also am very much looking forward to any and all pregnancy/baby posts! Congrats!! 🙂
Ah, this is SO exciting!! Congratulations guys!!! 🙂 xoxo
Congrats to you and the pilot!!!
Congratulations! I had a feeling you were preggo when you’ve mentioned your appetite being all over the place 🙂
Congratulations! My daughter was born on January 8th (Elvis’s bday!). It is a great way to start the new year. Enjoy your pregnancy and get lots of sleep while you can!
YAY! I kind of had a hunch once you stopped mentioning DT as often 🙂 Call it a mother’s intuition…because I am also preggers and due on December 11th. I can’t wait to see what kind of fitness shenanigans you come up with the next few months! Congrats to you and Pilot!
So happy for your exciting news! What a fantastic surprise!
Congratulations!!!! I am so happy for you and the pilot, that is fantastic news! 😀 (my eyes might have teared up a little reading this..haha I am a dork).
CONGRATS! I LOVEE reading pregnancy posts, and can’t wait to read yours! Good luck to the both..I mean three of you!!
Aw! Congrats to you and the pilot!
Congratulations Gina and the Pilot!! I’ve been a reader of your blog for a long time, and I’m so happy for you! This post made me so happy, you’ll be fabulous parents.
Congrats! So glad the pilot is gonna be with you the whole time!
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! I have never commented before on any blog (I guess I’m what you would call a “lurker”) but I read yours every day! I have a 2 year old boy and 2 1/2 month old girl and pregnancy, childbirth, and being a mom is the BEST thing in the world! Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely hard but all well worth it! I can’t wait to read about your journey.
Gina – I am a longtime reader, but very sporadic commenter — had to come out of the woodwork for this! So happy for you — you are going to be an *amazing* mama 🙂 Congratulations to you & the pilot!! Hope you are feeling good!
Congratulations! What exciting news and a thrilling time for your family!
Congratulations!! I love my snoogle. I wish I had found it sooner!
Congrats!! And me too – I’m due January 13th! I’m a runner and have had to tone things down a bit as well so I’m looking forward to hearing about how you alter your workouts for the rest of your pregnancy…and your appetite too!! (Mine has been all over the place as well – agh!)
Congratulations to you both! <3
I am so excited for you and the Pilot! Congratulations!
