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

That is so exciting. Congratulations. My husband and I are considering trying (in, maybe, say, a year!) so I for one would LOVE to read about how you alter your diet (if at all) and your work outs. Thanks for sharing the news.
Congratulations to both of you! It’s awesome news!! To be honest, though I can’t have children myself, I’m oddly looking forward to pregnancy fitness posts! You will make a gorgeous mom 🙂
Gina,
What exciting news!! I am also pregnant and am due on December 25th-I am only a week and a half ahead of you! I hope you are feeling ok-I have only had 2 weeks of morning sickness and am so very thankful for that! It is amazing how the appetite is affected-I have definitely been craving more “healthy carbs” ie. brown rice cereal, puffins, AMAZEBALLS! FYI-I made the BEST smores brown rice krispy treats with GF brown rice cereal, GF marshmellows, earth balance (or ghee), GF graham crackers and dark chocolate chips-delicious! Congratulations again! 🙂
I knew it! 🙂 I’ve been a lurker of your blog for about a year now and I am also pregnant (31weeks). I don’t know if you always have heated up your turkey for sandwiches but that’s what gave it away for me! CONGRATS to you and the pilot!!!!
Just wonderful and exciting news! Wishing the 3of you all the best. This is a great journey and glad you are willing to share this with us. Enjoy every moment of it my little girl is now 7months the time sure goes by so fast.

Yep, definitely teared up reading this!
CONGRATULATIONS!
I thought that’s what was going on but was kind of confused about the goat… haha! Congratulations 🙂
I was hoping and thinking positive thoughts for you that your big post would be about a baby grape! Congratulations!!!! How exciting!!!
I got so excited when i saw the blog post title!! yay!! Congrats 🙂
Oh!! Congratulations to you both!!
Awesome lady! Congrats and good luck on this exciting new phase of life!
how exciting! congratulations!!
SUCH GREAT NEWS! CONGRATS GINA! What a happy time for you both. 🙂
SO thrilled for you! Thanks for sharing and congratulations! Looking forward to all of your posts 🙂
Congrats!!! That’s so exciting! I absolutely love following your blog and I can’t wait to read about the little one on the way! Best wishes to you and the Pilot!!!
ohhhhh my!! CONGRATS! I am so excited for you. What a blessing. Praying for you and a healthy pregnancy!
Congrats! I totally thought this might be the big news! I’m so happy for you and the Pilot!
Oh my gosh CONGRATULATIONS! You and Pilot are going to have one good-looking kid!
I am a lurker, and have been for a couple of years, but I had to say CONGRATS!!! I am 29 and 7 months pregnant with my third child in three years, and I have to tell you that each one, especially the first is amazing and wonderful and awesome! Try to enjoy every moment. I don’t particularly love pregnancy (just being honest), but I adore motherhood, and that makes it worth every moment!
Congrats! So very exciting! You will make a great mom! I am really excited to read whatever parts of your pregnancy journey you choose to share. Most of the ladies around me who have been pregnant recently have really seemed to struggle to maintain a healthy balance. It makes me scared what will happen to me when I am pregnant. I need some inspiration of ladies like you! All the best to you and your growing family!
Wow!! That is so exciting!! Congrats! It is so weird how your heart (and body) can make you wait on something because it knows so much better what is going on!! And great timing that the Pilot will be with you the entire time!! 🙂 CONGRATS!!!
Congratulations!!! Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy!
So excited for you guys!
Must have been all that “napping” when the Pilot came home eh? 🙂

CONGRATS! My hubby and I just found out that we are also expecting- I am so lucky to have so many healthy bloggers to use as resources during this time! 🙂

So excited! I was suspecting something from the slightly different eats and lack of mentions of dance trance. I can’t wait to see how you stay fit while pregnant. Wishing you a complication free, ideal pregnancy!

I. Knew. It! If you go wayyyy back to when you were going to have your phone consult with your ND because your chart was all over the place I commented along those lines (comment #4 http://fitnessista.com/2011/04/essentials-todays-ab-challenge/comment-page-1/#comments) I’m so proud of myself, lol.
But more importantly – CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man there seems to be a serious bloggy boom going on right now, I’m going to have to be careful not to drink the water! 😉
I knew it! 😉 I guessed right away when you kept on saying your appetite was weird. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
