How far along? 24 weeks! The belly has officially POPPED! No hiding that belly anymore! Size of Baby? As long as an ear of corn (about 12 inches) and weighing in at just over 1 pound! Maternity clothes? oh yeah. I had to buy more scrubs for work to fit my big booty! (Thanks to a lady on KSL I got a steal of a deal on a TON of scrubs). I also recently bought some maternity workout capris – definitely more comfortable {Read More}
You all know that I LOVE CrossFit. (It was love at first WOD way back in October 2011.) I’ve realized something this week. There is no family like CrossFit family. Earlier this week, fellow mother and CrossFit athlete, Katrina Lawrence, passed away while giving birth to her 6th child. You can read the KSL article HERE. Katrina was an athlete at Viking CrossFit (my old stomping grounds and where my love for CrossFit started), and though I didn’t know her {Read More}
Last Saturday I got to compete in Elevated CrossFit‘s FIRST ‘Utah’s Strongest Chick’ competition. We threw the competition together kind of last-minute after the boys got to compete in ‘Utah’s Strongest Athlete’ competition (which, sadly, did not include the ladies) and we were all kind of jealous. We invited gyms from all over Utah County and SLC. We had 3 weight categories, plus a “Knocked Up” category (that was for me – Thanks Tyson!). Here’s what we had to do: {Read More}
How far along? 20 Weeks – aka halfway! Size of Baby? weighs around 10.5 oz, 6.5 inches from head to rump, and about 10 inches from head to heel. About as long as a banana. Maternity clothes? Hit up a sale online at Old Navy and got a bunch of tops and a maxi dress, have some capris. For the most part I’m in scrubs all week at work, but I did have to get some new scrubs. My thighs {Read More}
Like many others, I am deeply saddened by the tragedy at the Boston Marathon yesterday. Yesterday, at work, our morning consisted of watching the live feed of the elite runners and tracking some friends on the course. After lunch, Ann texted me and said there had been an explosion at the course finish line. Our afternoon was consumed with watching live news updates, trying to check in on our friends who had run to make sure they were safe, and {Read More}
So I really need to start blogging more. I’ve seen these pregnancy questionnaires on other blogs and I figure it would be a good idea to start tracking this stuff (and I’ll at least blog once a week.) How Far Along? 17 weeks! Size of Baby? He’s about the size of my palm, weighs about five ounces, and is developing some body fat (join the chub club, baby Urie!). Maternity Clothes? I have a pair of jeans and capris and {Read More}
What do you think we’re having? boy or girl?? Diz swears it’s a girl. I have no clue. I go back and forth. At first I swore it was a girl, then I thought it was a boy, then I went back to girl, but 2 nights ago I had a dream of the ultrasound and it was a boy. (Yay for crazy pregnancy dreams) my Momma thinks it’s a girl. She’s even wearing pink scrubs at work {Read More}
So I thought after I announced our pregnancy that I’d get my mojo back to want to blog. Especially since I’ve seen other friends chronicle their pregnancies on their blogs… the cute chalkboard with hand drawn details & darling belly pics & all that other cute stuff. Well, let me just tell you a few things… 1. I don’t have a chalkboard, or a chalkboard wall (like my cute blog friend Amber). 2. I don’t have a cute pregnant belly. {Read More}
WE had a BLAST. So much FUN! Started off with the safety lecture… (thank goodness we were not on the Carnival Triumph and we never needed to put our life jackets on again!) Our first stop was at Princess Cays. Which is Princess’ (our cruise line) own private island in the Bahamas. We were basically lazy bums and just laid in beach chairs all day. Diz snorkeled and saw some cool fish. My Dad and Josh played a few games {Read More}
