I am so, so thrilled to share this special news with all of you today!
Ryan and I are expecting a little one this August. I am 17 weeks pregnant right now (our due date is August 10) and we could not be more thrilled!!!
Living a Life Fueled by Healthy Food and Fitness
My name is Julie and I am a full-time blogger, new mama, fitness enthusiast (certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor) and food fanatic (mostly healthy... but also not-so-healthy) living in North Carolina with my husband, dog and baby boy. Thank you for visiting Peanut Butter Fingers! I hope you enjoy little glimpses into my life and have fun trying the sweaty workouts I frequently share and making some of my favorite recipes along the way!
[…] few weeks into my second trimester, once my pregnancy news was finally public on the blog, I shared a list of some of my First Trimester Pregnancy Favorites […]

Congratulations Julie! I am so happy! I have a confession to make, for the past few weeks I somehow felt that you were expecting. When I would type in “Peanut Butter Fingers” I would normally say to myself: “I think Julie is pregnant.” So when I saw this post, it confirmed my belief.
Congrats again and I wish for you much blessings and love.
Julie says
Haha! You were right on!

Julie, you and Ryan(and of course Sadie) have opened up your lives to us for the last several years through your daily blogs and though I don’t personally know you, I feel as though a close friend has just shared the most wonderful news with me!! I couldn’t be more thrilled for you and your family and just know you’re going to be the best parents! I can’t even imagine how excited your family and “real friends” are for your new bundle of joy. I can’t wait to follow your pregnancy and look forward to the next announcement…boy or girl!!! (I’m thinking girl lol)
