Thankful

I have been loving all the Thankful blogs that a lot of bloggers have been doing this month so I thought being the day before Thanksgiving that I should give it a whirl.

I'm Thankful for....

*My wonderful husband, Marc. 

He is really the best guy I know and I feel incredibly lucky to be his wife.

*My parents. 

They have always supported me and been there for me when I needed a hug or a kick in the butt.

*Being pregnant. 

Deep down I never thought I'd ever be able to get pregnant.  I feel so lucky to be pregnant with our sweet baby girl.

*My Kitties.

They are just so lovable and sweet.  I love my fur babies.

*Books.

I'm an avid reader and can't imagine my life without books.

*My Realize Band.

I wouldn't be where I am today without it.  It has given me the boost I've needed to lose weight and keep it off.  I can't wait to get back to losing after the baby is born.

Those are just a few of the things I'm thankful for this Holiday season, what about you?

Update on Life in General

I'm not a very consistent blogger anymore.  I guess I just don't have much to update on concerning weight loss while being pregnant. 

Things are going well on the pregnancy front.  We had another ultrasound on Monday and we got to see baby girl.  I can't remember if I posted her name or not.  Here is a picture of us with the banner we made.  The banner will hang in her room.

At my appointment on Monday, I had lost 2.5lbs since my last appointment and my blood pressure was perfect.  Yay!  I'm for sure eating more while pregnant but I'm trying to focus on healthier choices, sometimes with success, sometimes not as successful.  I'm okay with that.

I'm feeling really good now, no morning sickness anymore.  I'm still not able to exercise because of my foot.  I'm still in physical therapy and I'm still limping when I walk for the most part.  I'm sick of this recovery process.  I think my weight gain wouldn't be so bad if I would have been able to exercise these last few months.  I miss my walks outside, I can't wait until I can start exercsing again.  The only thing I'm not really happy about with being pregnant is that I don't look pregnant at all, just overweight.  Like when I buy baby stuff I get asked, "oh who is having a baby?"  Isn't that rude?!  Grrr.  I would like to actually look pregnant soon but oh well.  It's a minor thing overall.

I'm starting to gear up for the holidays.  I love the Christmas season, trees, lights, decorations, Christmas cards, the holiday movies.  I just love it all! 

I'm just in such a good mood lately.  I don't remember if I have ever been this consistently happy.  It's a very nice feeling and I hope it lasts!
