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!

Congratulations! I have read your blog for years and you inspired me to start my own! As soon as my husband walked in the door I told him (as if he “knows” who you are). I also had a sneaky suspicion about this. I wish you the best! I can’t wait to read your baby posts!
lindsey says
Congrats! Y’all clearly come from families that put family first, so you two have a lucky baby on his/her way! I will say, you’ve posted enough times to know that you’re a bit freaked out about actually HAVING a baby, but you can do it! <–(obviously you kinda have to now, lol) but I am not a fan of pain either and did it naturally and live to tell about it! I'm sure you'll do great!
Julie says
thanks for this comment!! <3 <3 definitely nervous about actually GIVING BIRTH <-- ahh!!
