My Total Preggo and healthy blog

Yup, it’s a boy!!  Hooray!  We both really wanted a boy, but of course would have been happy with either.. Personally I think there is room for ONLY ONE drama princess in the house and your lookin at her!  LOL!!!  We have named him Robert Lewis after my husbands father and my grandfather..  A very strong, manly name!  Check out the GUNS on my boy already!!!! 

Anyhew, We had our second trimester ultrasound and everything is fine with the baby..  I have a condition called Previa Placenta, where the placenta implants itself lower by the cervix (or partially covering it as in my case).  Basically that means that if it does not move, I will have to have a Csection..  there is a 90% chance that it WILL move so that is good!  I go every 6 weeks for more ultrasounds to keep a watch on it AND I am on "Pelvic Rest"- Meaning, NO SEX (YIKES!!!) and no strenuous activity (running, step class, stairmill, heavy weights- sucks!!!) for at least 6 weeks.. 

So, just as I was really getting into the groove during my step class (I almost need a belly bra!  LOL) I have to lay off. SO, I am doing some plyometrics and walking at a fast pace on the incline tread… 

As far as weight goes, YIKES, I am up to 147 now..  That is 17 lbs weight gain…  Given, I have been lax on my clean eating…  Binging from time to time on junk..  Sorry, I’m PREGGERS and HUNGRY!!!!  But I am putting myself back on track especially since I can’t run or do step (megga calorie burn)..  I am really hoping to maintain my weight to 30-35 lbs total by January..  I feel pretty good about it.  I just really need to stay on track with my diet.

POLL:  How do YOU combat your cravings???? 

Hope ya’ll have a great night! 

Cya!
