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

    Eeeeek!! How exciting! My sister in law is newly pregnant, so I am trying to learn as much as possible so I can understand more what she is going through. I kinda sorta guessed already, but I didn’t want to be the weirdo commenting on your posts about it!
    CONGRATS GINA AND PILOT! So happy for you two!!!

  5. Michele on June 7, 2011 at 1:47 pm

    Congrats, Gina and Pilot! Such exciting and wonderful news! As the mother of 2 (hopefully 3 soon!), I can tell you that your heart is going to be so full of love! And, although you may not think it’s possible to love him anymore than you already do, you will discover 1,000,000+ more reasons to love the Pilot. Nothing is seksier than seeing the one you love be an amazing daddy :o)

    On a separate note, I did my first SSU workout today and HOLY MOLY! It’s a good one! Thanks!

    I hope you are feeling well and I wish you a happy, healthy 9 months!

  19. Kat on June 7, 2011 at 1:55 pm

    Congrats Gina!!!!!!!
    I’ve been reading your blog for 2 years, every day, religiously.You are going to be an amazing mom!
    I’m also pregnant, 10 weeks as well.
    I’d love to read about the exercises you do (as well as your food choices, of course)… I’m continuing to work out with modifications, but sometimes very unsure what’s safe to do, so I end up skipping let’s say ab exercises…

    • Fitnessista on June 7, 2011 at 9:02 pm

      wow we’re the same!! that’s so exciting!
      i’m still working out my abs per usual, and starting in the second trimester will do ab exercises that i’m not lying on my back or stomach for (lots of planks, stability ball work, hanging leg raises), no abs 3rd trimester

  20. Tracey on June 7, 2011 at 1:55 pm

    I’ll add my congratulations to the many that are here. I’ve been reading your blog for almost a year now and I can’t wait to here all about your new adventure. I can tell you from experience that there is NOTHING like motherhood. Having a child is one of the best parts of my life.

  21. Hillary on June 7, 2011 at 1:58 pm

    Oh, Gina! What incredibly fantastic news. Best of luck to you and the Pilot. May you have an easy, happy pregnancy and many healthy, happy years ahead with your new “little grape.”
