Exercise...

Well all, as silly as this may sound to some, for others you'll know exactly what I mean. I am trying to stay out of maternity clothes for as long as possible this time around. Mainly because by the end of my last pregnancy I was ready to burn them! Believe me it gets OLD wearing the same clothes day in and day out...and unless you're pretty well off and can buy a lot of different maternity clothes, you're basically wearing the same thing every couple days.

So, I have been watching very carefully what and how much I eat so that I'm able to gain as little weight as possible. I'm not dieting by ANY means, but I am trying to be more careful. I gained quite a bit of weight with Ty and it took ALOT of hard work to lose! Quite frankly, I don't want to have to go through that again.

I LOVE my workout videos. I do pilates for my nether region and thighs, and a pregnancy cardio workout for the rest. The pilates BURNS something awful, but it seems to be working and the pregnancy cardio can make me break a sweat so they're both good! I feel SO much better this time around. Hopefully I'll stick with things and have the best possible pregnancy that I can! We'll see!

I admire your determination! Good for you! Hope you see your goals and hopefully you'll have a great pregnancy. Wouldn't it be great if you could be one of those girls who looks like they did pre-pregnancy 2 days after the baby was born? Well, if you do, you may get a sneer from me. haha just kidding.

Have a great day! Love ya!

girl, i don't blame you one bit! i set a goal for myself; don't gain over 30lb! lol i did it too. i only gained 28!!! i'm sure it has to do with eating healthy and walking. the last 2 months i walk 2 miles almost every day. i didn't gain any weight the last 3 weeks. it's really paid off too cause i was out of maternity clothes before gabe turned 5 weeks old! i need to get back to walking and start working out a bit to tone up, but the extra weight is pretty much gone :)

you can do it!

Hey Jessica!!!!

Sorry it's been forever since I've left you a comment. I've been very busy remodeling!! You've probably heard my boyfriend, Ashley, bought a house. We been doing a lot of work on it, but it's coming along nicely.

You bedroom pictures looked great!!!! I love the cabin look!! We looked in to building a log cabin, but it was a lot cheaper to remodel.

Ty is growing up so much!! He's adorable!! He's looking a lot like Grandpa Nick!

I love your new hair cut!! It looks great!! I'm thinking of doing something with mine.

I really like the new look you've give your blog!! The heart is so cute!!

Come see us up here soon! A lot has been going on!!

Love, Britt =)

Amanda, Thanks for the encouragement! I can always use plenty of it! I have had a great pregnancy so far and have really enjoyed it! Can't wait till Monday!!!

Thanks Erica, That was encouraging too! I really am going to try to stick with this throughout the entire pregnancy. I hadn't set a weight limit goal yet, but that's a great idea.

Jo, Yes the ocean is gorgeous. I'd love to take Ryan and he and I have a wonderful get-away for a couple days. He's already scheduled the week off for family camp which leaves him one day vacation left since family camp is memorial day week. I think he and I are going to camp out at a wildlife refuge nearby and fish for a couple days. Take off Thursday night and stay till Saturday, OR go Friday early and stay till Saturday. We're hoping to do that as soon as the weather warms up! WHICH HOPEFULLY IS SOON!!!!

Hey Britt, I've heard of your new "flame"!!! I'm happy for you! Mom told me that you guys have been working on his house. That's exciting! I love our bedroom too! It's like a log cabin oasis! Ryan and I love it! Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen everybody, we were hoping to come for this weekend but Ryan ended up having to work today (Saturday). They've been doing a lot of overtime and he's worked the past two weekends (not Sunday) in a row.

Hey Jessica, I like the new look of your blog.
I'm glad you all came down and ate with all of us. It was nice having all (minus 2) of the family together. Well you got the compliments tonight didn't you? like ... "if she's pregnant, I can tell it!! :) " You look great girl, I can't believe you aren't having to wear maternity clothes yet. Keep up the good work.

Ty is such a sweetie, and growing it wont be long till he's walking.

I do hope everything works out Monday so you can tell us if Ty is going to have a baby brother or sister.

Love ya Sandra
