Week 14 - Feb 24: Gender Reveal + Telling My Siblings & My Tia Toña

Feb 24 – Week 14: Gender Reveal Weight: 149.8. Yikes, the highest spike yet, but not shocking given my California diet. Exercises: Gym 3 times, but I totally feel my body slowing down. Morning sickness: I think it's safe to say I survived this pregnancy with zero morning sickness. YAY! Stretch Mark Oil: Nothing yet but I'm feel itchy. Eating: Not my best week at all, but once I get back to DC I'll start to eat clean again. GENDER REVEAL: 1st 3D Ultra Sound: As soon as word got out about the baby, the girls booked me an appointment for a 3D ultra sound. Ana pulled out her Chinese calendar, said it was a girl. Mary said since the baby had a high heart rate, it was a girl. Then she did the necklace test, it was a girl. Basically everyone kept saying it was a girl, so much so that Peruvian got SUPER nervous as we walked into the appointment because he REALLY wants a boy. My mom was the only one that didn't want us to find out the gender and just wait until the b...

Week 21 - April 13 - Anatomy Ultrasound + End of Runs

Apr 14 – Week 21:   Weight:  (154.8-154.0) - *156.6 lbs Exercise:  I tried Zumba on  Monday but bc I couldn't jump, I didn't sweat (at all). Hit the gym three times and went for one 3.5 mile walk. Stretch Marks: None. For the last week or so, I've been feeling like a little kid kicked me in the vagina after going to the gym. My doctor said it's due to the bouncing pressure on the vagina when I run, so to try to stick to the step climber, elliptical machine or anything that doesn't have me bouncing. SO that's the end of my 2 mile runs -- I made it to the end of week 21 so not too shabby! :) Stretch Marks:  None yet despite the "warning signs" on The Bum: Stretch marks.  Your skin gets pulled thinner as baby grows, causing tiny tears beneath the surface of your skin. Stretch marks are more common for some women simply because of family history, or because of sudden weight gain. They are also more common in women who are 21 weeks pregnant wit...

Week 6 - Dec 30

WEEK 6 - DEC 30: The secret survived the Cali Christmas and we're back in DC Dec 30 – Week 6:  Weight: 144.6 Exercise: 2 times After getting back to Cali, I literally spent the rest of the holidays on the sofa Googling how to avoid stretch marks. I learned your body gets them when you put on weight too quickly and your body is forced to expand too fast. Best way to fight stretch marks is drinking water, oiling up, stay active and eat healthy. I'm using  Weleda: Pregnancy Body Oil for Stretch Marks . I try to remember to use it when I wake up and before I go to sleep. It's below 20 degrees outside so I only managed to hit the gym twice but they were two good workouts. Other than that, I avoided going outside or even getting of the sofa but resting felt amazing! I did Google information about safe exercising while pregnant and even inquired about crossfit (of course, letting the trainers know I'm preggo) but I'll double check with my doctor before I actually...
