Striving to be Healthier

I was overweight when I got pregnant with Liam. Because of the gestational diabetes, I only gained 20lbs and at one week PP, I could put my regular clothes back on. This pregnancy I started 10lbs heavier then the last one (thank you winter weight.) and have gained 24lbs so far. Seeing that number on the scale has definitely motivated me to get more exercise these last six weeks. I don't want to gain more fat, I already have enough. And I know with two smalls in the house it will be even harder to find time to exercise and get good meals.
Yesterday I walked 1.25 miles on the path at the park. Today I walked over 2miles to run a couple errands instead of driving. I'm hoping I can keep up the exercise until Baby Girl comes, even with the heat.

Just a little update with pics

So, Liam has really taken off with the walking, and now prefers it over crawling. It's perfect timing, because carrying him, even just from the apartment to the car, is getting to be a lot.



I hit 32 weeks on Saturday, and I feel like I grew a ton overnight. I swear Baby Girl is going to be bigger then Liam was.



Fourth of July was fun. We got Sonic drinks in the afternoon. Joined some friends for dinner at the Olive Garden, and then hung out at our place, because we were able to see the fireworks from our steps.



With Liam's first birthday, his love for reading books, and taking baths returned. We finished the Library's Toddler summer reading program in 1 week. His favorite books are lift-the-flap, touch & feel, and sound books, particularly Mr. Brown Can Moo. I am incredibly grateful his love of baths has returned as he gets pretty dirty playing and eating.



I think that's all for now, I'll try to keep updating often.
