May 19 - Third Trimester!



The third trimester is here-only 13 weeks left until Hot Lips makes her grand entrance!

Here are my stats so far:
Weight Gained: 16 lbs
Inches Grown: +5" bust, +5" waist (yes, the tummy is growing but I still have a waistline)
Food Cravings: none
Food Aversions: no food aversions, but I am VERY sensitive to cigarette smoke, even a small whiff makes me nauseous
Exercise Routine: walk approx. 12-15 miles per week with the pooches, climb the stairs at the stadium twice a week (approx. 2.5k steps per visit), perform (low weight) arm exercises 5 days a week as well as lunges
Look Pregnant? yes! Especially in tight clothes. I'm waiting for a stranger to ask if I'm expecting but it hasn't happened yet (only a matter of time). I still fit in a few pre-preggo pants, t-shirts, shorts and dresses... otherwise I'm wearing mostly maternity clothing now.


All in all, the 2nd trimester was one of great growth (both for me and the bambino). I feel huge already (note that I'm not measuring my hips..because I'm afraid to know how much they are widening!). Thinking about doubling in size in the coming months in combination with the FL heat and humidity is a little intimidating, but I know I'll handle it. Hot Lips health is the important thing, and I had an appointment today and the doctor said everything is perfect so far!

May 7 - Dessert? No thanks, I just ate a volleyball & I'm full

Hello fabulous peeps-you may be happy to know that I officially 'popped' and finally look pregnant. I look like I swallowed a volleyball!! I'll post some photos soon (I know some of you are anxious to see the growing belly that is Hot Lips). I'm not sure if I posted this earlier-but for the last few weeks you can see her moving by looking at my stomach. She seems to enjoy kicking on my right side...just as I'm laying down to sleep at night!

In other news-J.D. completed an Olympic distance triathlon this past weekend in Miami. He did AMAZING. Please congratulate him next time you see him. Hot Lips is already proud of her daddy!

And..don't forget to play the name game! We've only received a few entries so far. If you are confused as to how to play, you have two strategies:

*
guess a name that you think we will choose OR
*submit a name that you think will be a great fit for Hot Lips (someone could submit a name that we never thought of before that we fall in love with).

Either way-this is a FUN contest!! Remember, yummy baked goods if there is a winner!
