Hey all! Its been a while since my last family update, so wanted to keep you in the loop with how the pregnancy is going!
The second trimester is almost done…can’t believe it. I think the next 10 weeks are going to go by pretty quick!

Last photo: 25 weeks (I quickly posted this on Facebook)
So what’s been new in the past couple weeks?
– You’re probably tired of hearing about it, but we moved, and are settled at a friends place temporarily while we wait for our new house to close on July 15th
– I’ve switched midwives. The new ones are close to the new house, which will be great! I didn’t want to have to commute 45+ minutes to go back to my old midwives. I was also worried about having to drive to a far away hospital considering my active labor with Sienna was only 5 hours.
– Yesterday, we went for another 3D ultrasound hoping to get some great pics of baby girl, but she wasn’t cooperating like last time, so we got another refund. We’re throwing in the towel, and we’ll have to tell her she was stubborn!
– I got a new chiropractor out here as well…he’s great! Unfortunately he said I’m probably one of the worst cases he’s seen of SPD pelvic issues in pregnancy, but he’s trying some different trigger point therapy that he thinks will give me more relief. It hurts like no other, but hopefully it will help!
– Food-wise, I’ve been sticking to the same old. Nausea is gone now, so I’m eating more variety. Breakfast is usually eggs & oatmeal or eggs & toast. Lunch is usually a veggie sandwich or veggies and chicken. Snack is usually fruit or a protein muffin. Dinner varies, but its usually a recipe from the site, or turkey tacos or something of that nature. Food choices weren’t the best during the move as we had to do some relying on takeout. Usually get wonton soup, sushi (California rolls no mayo), or the odd time pizza, but I’ll ask for almost no cheese.
– I’ve been horrible at weighing myself, so I don’t even know where I’m at right now! But all my mat clothes are fitting the same in the butt/legs and that’s usually where I’ll gain if I’m going to! (well besides the belly of course)
– Top 2 baby names at the moment are: Alyssa & Breanna (but we’re both leaning more towards Alyssa)
So that’s about it!
Tomorrow I’m leaving for a girls weekend in Seattle for 1 night. Doing some shopping and hitting up Trader Joe’s for the first time! Thanks to everyone that listed their favorite Trader Joe items in the Recipe Club.
I’ll report back with all the goods I get! There could be a couple new “Favorite Finds” !
Have a fabulous weekend! See ya on Monday!
