Really BIG news🥳

The SECRET IS OUT! If you saw on Instagram, you already know.. We will be adding our 🌈baby to the mix late July.

How'd I find out?

About a week after I shared about my miscarriage online, we had an appointment with our Fertility Doctor. In fact, we were supposed to start our first medicated cycle after my next cycle (IUI) and I had to go in for a few more tests. Well, turns out, no need for IUI because I was pregnant! My cycle was definitely late, but it had been irregular since the miscarriage so I didn't really think too deep into it. Also, I think I was a little scared to even consider it, just in case it ended the same way. Well everything was looking good and here we are, a few days away from the 2nd Trimester and the baby is a size of a lemon!🍋

How I've been feeling?

I have been blessed that I haven't had much nausea or sickness like some experience in the first trimester. I haven't had many food aversions either. Every now and then, I may smell something that isn't too appetizing and I just don't eat it. I haven't had any odd cravings, but I have been craving more sweets than usual. I want all the carbs and all the milkshakes! I'm also usually hot all the time, but I've been cold lately. I'm not sure if that's a "real" symptom, but it's definitely different than usual.

Now the one symptom that I have been feeling, and feeling hard is FATIGUE!😴 I am tired ALL the time. I've never been so tired in my life. LoL. I almost fell asleep doing documentation at work! As a yoga teacher, I like to stay pretty active. My workouts consist of yoga, HITT and running usually. Well running fell by the waist side real quick. I was managing to do yoga or a quick 10-15 min HITT session 2-3x a week, if I was lucky and sometimes that would take a lot out of me. Slowly my energy is coming back and I'm getting back to being a more active which feels nice.

Our Holiday Announcement

We initially wanted to announce around Christmas/New Year, hence the holiday picture, but it didn't feel like the right timing. I know the holidays can be hard for other couples who are TTC and I wanted to be sensitive to that. I also, started second guessing sharing and wondered if it was too early. After a few days passed, I had a feeling that everything would be ok. And if it wasn't, well it would still end up ok ☺️. So here we are, sharing our big blessing!

I am super excited for the rest of the ride and will be sharing with you all. I am even more excited about my teaching journey with prenatal yoga. I will get to go on this journey with my students and truly fill how poses fill in a pregnant body.

We have lots of fun videos and stories about how we told our loved ones that I will be sharing as well!

Stay tuned!
