      It’s kind of crazy — I feel like I’m showing everywhere other than my belly right now! My stomach is definitely thicker, but I’ve noticed the most changes in my arms, thighs and hips. So strange!

        I feel the exact same way! Gaining everywhere but the belly. Pregnancy is a strange beautiful thing!

    It is minus 30 for about the 10th day in a row. it has not been about zero for, well, 6+weeks. THIS WARMED ME TO THE CORE.

    CONGRATS!!!!! What a blessing 🙂 I’m currently reading this while on maternity leave with my 4 week old and can say that motherhood (while exhausting and tough at times) is the most amazing, wonderful and magical thing! I had fears before giving birth (will our dog be ok? I hope you’re willing to share some of your journey. Congrats again!

    Congratulations! I’ve been quietly reading your blog since I started working out after my son was born almost three years ago and I read this just as my four month old daughter was going to sleep and am so excited for you guys. Parenthood/motherhood is the most awesome role I’ve had. Best wishes to you and your family!
