I feel like I’ve been fibbing to you for some time…and it feels good to FINALLY be able to come clean :).
Josh:
and I:
are expecting!!! Our little peanut is due in July. I am just through my first trimester and am feeling great (although this wasn’t always the case ;)). Due to some swelling issues I’ve been having…I’m bumping out a bit already. I tried to get a couple pictures to show you the mini bump:
Just to note: The minor swelling issues have meant that I have been unable to teach for a while now (which is why you haven’t been hearing me blab on and on about my classes ;)). I am still allowed to walk though, and have been doing inclined walks at the gym and enjoying walks outdoors. Also, due to protein requirements, I have gone back to eating a little bit of meat a few times a week. You can definitely sustain a vegetarian diet throughout pregnancy, I have just decided on a different path.
Hope you all have a fantastic Monday! And thank you for your continued support!!

Erica,
I could not be more happy for you and Josh!!! You are glowing and look absolutely beautiful. :)
I had some swelling issues as well that first trimester due to some leaking cysts. Not fun, and I looked about 4 months pregnant when I was only 2 weeks along. I had to wear baggy clothes b/c we weren't telling anyone. The swelling eventually went down, but until it did, I wasn't even allowed to walk much. It felt so good to start moving again...the 2nd trimester is soooo much better!
I CANNOT wait to meet your little one, and based on you and Josh's baby pics, baby Itzy is going to be so precious. :)
Love you!
Congrats to you and your hubby!
Ooooh Erica! I am so so so so happy for you and your family. You and Josh will make fabulous parents. I can wait to hear all about your new adventure. Thanks so much for sharing with us! :-)

I tried to write this morning at 6am but Blogger was being a stinker.
I am so GLAD for you, there are no sufficient words really. Such a joyful announcement, no one knows like you just how joyful and meaningful it is. I'm so looking forward to the next few months, hearing about how things are going on Itzy's Kitchen. I'm sorry you've had the swelling, I'm sure the next few months will be much better.
You are still so teeny! It's funny how, for a while, every little growth of your belly is amazing- then suddenly you jst balloon out of control and keep thinking how you could get any bigger! :)
Very happy to be a new mommy with you at (almost) the same time!! :)
YAYAYAY! im so excited for you erica! you look adorable and i'm happy to hear that you're feeling better. that first trimester can be tough. definitely keep us posted on how things go. you're going to love being a mom!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! So excited for you guys - you are gonna be a great momma!
I actually thought of you on Saturday morning - I took a class called BodyCombat - holy cow was that a tough workout! It was 65 minutes long, and I was a sweaty mess by the end.
July will be here before you know it!
