Life Lately: we're having a baby!

I have decided to start a new blog series called “life lately” where I will update you on everything going on here, my favorite products, and so much more!

This will be a way for me to get a bit more personal with all of you, and I can’t wait to connect!

sooo… if you couldn’t tell by the title of this post…we’re having a baby! Baby K is arriving in March!! We could not be more excited for this journey. Thank you all so much for the love & support you have offered, it means so much to us.

So let me catch you up on what I’ve been up to!

Being pregnant (we’re more than half way!!) is such a dream. If you read my previous post on our struggles with infertility you know that this has not been an easy road for us. There were several moments where I wasn’t sure we’d ever get here, which makes this pregnancy even more special.

Even though this pregnancy has been a dream I can not deny how difficult the first four months were.

I was on bed rest, then modified bed rest, then limited activity, and then was finally cleared for gentle activity - and recently just cleared for prenatal safe exercise. It was a long road, especially for someone who has always been so active. I’m a yoga teacher and personal trainer, so to not be able to workout or demo for my clients threw me for a bit of a loop.

And I have to be honest, I’m not great at being lazy. I am so used to being a creator, a doer, a go-getter that these restrictions really made me pause and look inward. I knew that my incredible team of Dr’s was only doing what was best for me and my baby, so I had to learn how to relax and give in. It ended up being such a beautiful lesson in surrendering, and I am a much better human, wife, business owner and all the things because of it.

I was incredibly sick up until 16 weeks, and will be touching on this in a separate post, but being so sick and yet so beyond grateful at the same time put so much into perspective for me. This baby has only been with me for a little over 5 months, but has already taught me so much about myself and life in general.
