#32weekspregnant with #8weekstogo - I cannot believe it’s down to single digit weeks, that I can still touch my toes (with careful strategy), and this guy will hit his largest growth spurt soon! 😬 I don’t have room for him but I know he’s going to find it and I’m happy to give whatever he needs. I’ve been asked a lot about how I’ve been able to stay body positive during this pregnancy. Well, there’s a few things that I’ve done to help. When I discovered I was pregnant I decided that I would embrace whatever changes my body would go through and love my body for what it was doing. This was EARLY on and I immediately had my first challenge within a month when my lean abs started to fade. I found myself thinking about how I could hide it and then reminded myself the commitment I made and leaned back into that mindset of letting my body do its job without dictation from me. I didn’t restrict my diet to just lean meats and veggies, I ate what I needed (two servings of pasta and a lemon aid was my go to in the first trimester) but held myself accountable not to loose control and eat like ***** just because I could. When my body REALLY started to change, It was easier to stay positive because his presence was more real. The simple fact that I am his home and vehicle for him to be created is just mind blowing. I’M GROWING A HUMAN inside of me! That in itself is enough for me to accept any stretch marks, cellulite, extra pounds, weird veins, and all the other weird ***** that happens to a women during this pure majestic time. It’s not hard, it’s a mindset and you get to control that conversation with yourself and your body. Love it as it as, but especially for what it is capable of doing - creating your child. Now that’s some awesome *****. #lovethebellybump #badassbaby #allbelly #loveyourbodyforwhatitcando #pregnant #badasslife #badassmomma

Even with the increased discomfort, challenge to simply put on socks, constant pain one way or another, I absolutely love being pregnant and being this lil man’s ultimate protector right now. I am his safe, vehicle, bed and playground. I am his whole world and no matter how tough this process gets for me, knowing that and having that responsibility, is the ultimate gift and privilege that I will not take for granted.

4 weeks • 22 weeks • 30 weeks The first picture was taken the week I found out I was pregnant. The second was right when I started to “pop” and actually look a little preggo. The third was taken this morning at just over 30 weeks. All different periods of my pregnancy. All different places on where I was living and all different states of mind. Preggo progress: He’s rumbling like a fighting fish on a hook. Kicking and moving so much. Although my belly growth hasn’t been a lot over the last two weeks I can tell his body is growing and he is getting cramped in there. Now I notice when he moves around at anytime and not just when he kicks or punches. I have 10 weeks to go and although I am beyond excited to meet this man, I am still enjoying being pregnant and want to hold on to this experience for as long as he’ll allow. I’m moved into my new home and finally able to start on his nursery. Things are coming together just in time to be ready for his arrival in two months. I’m hoping I make it to October and he doesn’t come too early. A lot of people have commented on how I look like I’m getting ready to pop. Well, thank you all but I still have a long way to go and he has a lot of growth to do. I’m just a tiny human and he’s already a large baby!!! Preggo Tip: if you think a preggo lady is getting ready to pop, just say they look great and not how big their belly is. Craving: foot rubs & joint pain relief Belly: 38” Weight: apx 152 (about 25 lb gain) #30weekspregnant #badassbaby #badassmomma #pregnant #pregnantbelly
