And just like that, I’m on my last work trip of the year! This time, however, I will be gone for an entire week. And I will be in Fort Lauderdale. I have training Monday – Thursday from 7:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. and then I have a test on Friday from 8:00 a.m. – […]

This week I was traveling for the third time in less than 4 weeks. I was visiting Cleveland again and going to the same place as before, just for a different reason. Thankfully, it was another quick trip. I was gone for less than 36 hours.  But, this time, the weather got me. My allergies […]

Week 16 was another week that I was looking forward to, but not looking forward to.   I had another OB appointment. In my heart, I knew there wasn’t anything wrong. But, my head was telling me to still be cautious. Don’t get too attached, because you never know. I was seeing a different doctor […]

I’m feeling blah this week.  Starting to feel more pregnant. But, still not showing.  My pants are continuing to get tighter.  Thank god for BLACK LEGGINGS and OVERSIZED SWEATER season. No more jeans for me.  I’m just in that awkward stage where it looks like I ate too many doughnuts for breakfast. So I cover […]

Officially in the second trimester and I’m feeling very not pregnant this week. It’s been 2 weeks since my last appointment. I’m not showing. I’m feeling large. It’s weird. But, I don’t feel pregnant. I know the doctor told me that I could come in whenever I wanted, even if it was just to hear […]

Week 13 was a very busy week. This week starts a lot of business travel for me. I am going to have to be out of town on four separate occasions from now until the end of the year. I am thankful that I am at least starting to feel a little better now. I’m […]

Week 12 is another week that I have been waiting for and also dreading. I had an OB appointment to see if there was a heartbeat. I honestly felt in my heart that there was going to be a heartbeat, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of her putting that Doppler to my stomach and […]

Week 11 is all about bloating. Holy fuck. I eat and then I literally look like I’m 5 months pregnant. It’s pretty amazing actually. But also extremely uncomfortable. I am not showing yet, thank goodness. I know that when it starts, it’s not going to stop. So, for now, I’m thankful to wake up each […]

With the exception of a couple people, Scott and I decided that we were going to wait even longer than normal to tell everyone that we were pregnant, which just makes things so difficult. So far, we have told my parents, his parents, his grandparents, 3 friends, and my CrossFit coaches. I would say it […]

This was the week that we were going to find out if we have a baby or not. I didn’t need the ultrasound to tell me there was a baby in there. I knew there was. All of my symptoms told me so. And, behold, we have a baby. All the measurements were right where […]

Basically the same story as Week 6. I am dying. But worse. All my symptoms are the same, but worse. My exhaustion is terrible. My motivation is non-existent. My will to get out of bed is decreasing every day. I have terrible headaches, I think from caffeine withdrawals. My boobs feel like watermelons, which is […]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. WEEK 6 HAS HIT ME LIKE A TON OF BRICKS. FUCKING DYING. LITERALLY D Y I N G…. Friday, September 7, my symptoms started. They continued to be mild for a couple of days. Then, literally, 6 weeks exactly, ALL THE SYMPTOMS were there to greet me with open arms. First, I […]
