Hello, and happy happy Friday, all! I am SO ready for the weekend. Yesterday, I hit the 23rd week of my pregnancy and boy am I feeling it.
I’m getting more uncomfortable by the day, but it is so worth it. I can’t wait way to snuggle this sweet baby!!
THIS WEEK IN PREGNANCY:
CHALLENGES/FRUSTRATIONS:
*It is getting harder to move around (especially in bed)
*Acne-it has settled all over my chin and doesn’t seem like it’s going away any time soon
*Dry/itchy skin- although I did find an amazing lotion that is helping
*Exhaustion
*Bladder pressure
*Pretty much none of my clothes fit anymore- time to do a full maternity shopping trip!
CRAVINGS:
*Cheese and comfort foods
-No aversions right now-
THE POSITIVES:
*I am feeling her move so much and it is amazing
*Extra bonding with my husband
*Getting the nursery ready
*Getting pumped for my baby shower in a few weeks
FITNESS:
This week has been more home workouts than anything.
MONDAY: I overslept and needed it because my cold was bothering me so bad. I did a short barre workout after work to get my body moving and it helped.
TUESDAY: I didn’t have time to do much so I just stretched out a bit in the morning.
WEDNESDAY: I made it to the gym for 30 minutes of cardio.
THURSDAY: A 50 minute bump at the barre workout in my basement. It felt so good!
FRIDAY: 30 minutes of cardio (10 on the arc trainer, 10 on the stair climber, and 10 on the treadmill)
FOOD:
MONDAY: Salmon, plantain, veggies, and a salad. SO delicious!
TUESDAY: My girlfriends came over and we made ruebens. They were a hit! We also had pita chips and spinach dip.
WEDNESDAY: Chicken terriaki stir fry over brown rice.
THURSDAY: Subs from Jersey Mike’s because we didn’t want to cook haha.
I am not sure what to have tonight, but I plan on hitting up Whole Foods after work!
Also, here are some adorable pictures of my cats from the week just because!
Hope you enjoyed the update! Have a wonderful weekend!
With love,
Carly

The brand is called Shea Moisture! I use the 100% virgin coconut oil daily hydration lotion. They have tons of products on their website, but I found it at Kroger! And thanks, girl β‘β‘β‘
