26 weeks

I have not blogged in FOREVER! I really need to be better! I have some pictures of the growing baby belly that I need to share. Preparing for the babies is so stressful, yet so exciting!! we have so much stuff to get, but you have to figure out which is best of all the millions of brands. Crazy. I am now 26 weeks though only 14 more and they will be here and most likely its really only 11 more! It blows my mind how quickly this has gone by.

this is the most recent picture I have of the baby bump...

 We also had a little Gender reveal party where we did cupcakes with the blue filling... cause we are having BOYS!!!!!

Being Healthy!!

So being pregnant i really wanna be the healthiest i can. However its super hard when there are only a few things that you can eat... I have started feeling better and so even though i cant eat everything healthy ( like how i have to eat two hash browns from McDonalds every  morning) I really wanna work out every day! So to Keep myself accountable I am going to track everyday on here for twelve weeks, cause supposedly that is when you are like good to go and its a habit and you feel awesome!!! :) I am going to be doing the MIF- Moms into Fitness
http://www.momsintofitness.com/

I'm doing the second Trimester DVD, and its gotten so much harder the more pregnant I get. I really need to be doing the cardio and Toning, plus the yoga. I am super excited to start working out daily and being able to maybe eat a little healthier... Yay for healthy babies!! I can not wait for next Thursday to see how they are doing and if they are boys or girls! I am also going to try and drink at least 64 ounces of water!

So... the goals are:

*Cardio and Toning DVD

*plus the yoga

* 64 ounces of water a day

* Use the plate method Fill 1/2 your plate with vegetables which you will eat first, then ¼ of your plate with lean protein and ¼ of your plate with whatever you wish.

*Lots of Fruits and veggies 

*lean proteins
