Hi guys :) Hope that you are enjoying your weekends. I have decided that my Sunday posts will include a small pregnancy update section at the very bottom of the post. I will include a bump picture (with my shirt covering the bump). If these sort of things make you squeamish/you don’t like talking about pregnancy, feel free to skip ;)- I TOTALLY understand!
This weekend was really nice! Friday afternoon started off with baking. Josh and I were meeting some of my favorite group fitness instructors for dinner, so I baked them up a batch of my peanut butter flour chocolate chip cookies:
While baking, I wore my new Itzy’s Kitchen apron that Josh’s mom sent me. She also sent me another dish towel:
We went to dinner at Mellow Mushroom. Our head group fitness manager got me the sweetest gift, a day-by-day baby guide where you can add your own personal notes & information:
So sweet!
Saturday morning, I was allowed back to taking group fitness classes, low-impact. I took Body Step, I’ve missed it so much! The rest of the day was spent cleaning the house, napping with Josh and Frank, and baking up a batch of granola for my Dad:
Saturday night, Josh & I had a date night in. I made a nice, easy spaghetti squash dinner. Josh had his with meat sauce, I had marinara, and we both had mozzarella on top. I always forget how filling spaghetti squash is. Neither of us could even come close to finishing out bowls :)
We also watched The Other Guys. It was….ok.
Sunday, I headed to my parents for brunch.
The restaurant in their neighborhood has incredible views and delicious food. I got the Carolina breakfast with two scrambled eggs, a double order of fruit, and sourdough toast.
My Mom also gave me some of her incredible homemade cranberry sauce. I can’t wait to dive in- thanks Mama!
The rest of the day will be spent on housework & watching football :).
Pregnancy Update: 13 week photo (again, popping a little more than normal due to the swelling)-
Feeling good! Exercising regularly (low impact: walking or classes). Craving wise…enjoying vegetables and yellow mustard and cantaloupe. Things that have surprised me: 1. how tired I was during my first trimester and 2. how small your bladder feels right off the bat! If you have any pregnancy related questions, feel free to throw them my way and I’ll do my best to answer them!

Sounds like you had a nice weekend. Such a cute apron! I finally remembered to pick up some spaghetti squash so I am planning on a couple of recipes this week. Can't wait.
so glad you're feeling good - you look great! Love the new apron and am excited to follow your Sunday updates - your "bump" pic is so cute, although you're just so tiny I don't see a bump or this swelling you speak of!!
You are too cute! Love the new apron and dishtowel! So pretty! Glad you got to go back to the gym. I know everyone was glad to see you.

Sounds like a great weekend! Love your mini-bump! So cute!!!
I love the apron!
Will you continue to teach classes through your pregnancy?
Oh, I love pregnancy updates! It's so fun to see how quickly mamas-to-be change. I'm SO glad you are feeling better, too. And your tiny bump is just adorable!
What a cute apron and towel! I need a cute apron....actually, just an apron at all. :-)
Sounds like a great weekend. The weather out the restaurant window looks gorgeous! I miss the beach.
Your bump is very cute. Are you allowed to teach or just participate in classes? I finally had time to scout out the Les Mills classes here in Denver and have my first class tonight. Wahoo!
oh my gosh you looks GORGEOUS!! it'll be nice to have these memories once the baby is born :)
What a CUTE apron!! You look great! I pee every half hour as-is...I'm in trouble if I ever have kids haha :)
What an adorable apron! I love the matching dishtowel.
I am SOOOOO excited to read your pregnancy updates. You are seriously the cutest pregnant girl. :)
Glad the weekend was fulfilling. I bet everyone in your family is so excited for you guys and it must be the topic of all conversations.
Love the apron and those cookies, my FAVORITE! :)
I want that apron! Your baby bump is so cute :)
CONGRATS Erica!!! How exciting!! I'm glad you're feeling well and can't wait to read all your updates - hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months :)
You are such an adorable pregnant lady!! Glad you able to exercise and feeling pretty good, minus the tiredness. I hope you're able to get plenty of rest for your little one! Sounds like you had a great weekend - you are so lucky your parents live close by and you get to see them often! I'm sure you will appreciate that even more when your baby is born :)
I actually think you look right on track for 13 weeks! some people show faster than others, and they say when you're thin you will have a teeny bump quicker than some other people! I hope you're enjoying it :)
LOVE the update and congrats on being allowed to take some classes!!!! Is it hard to tone it down in class?
Lots of great food! I love the idea of the cookies with peanut flour.
So cute---your little bump :)
You look cute. I definitely wouldn't be able to tell you were preggo if I didn't know though.
Love that journal. I am have always been a big journaler (hence the blog, I guess) and think that would be so fun to have a record of your baby's first year.
How lucky are you to have an awesome MIL my MIL would never send me anything.... I don`t even get birthday or christmas gifts from her... its beyond awkward. Your "bump" picture is so cute.
xo
you are so cute! I think my stomach looks like that all the time and there is nothing but food in mine :)
I am guessing you were at Hucks for brunch, love that place!
oh my gosh girl where have i been? your preggers? congrats to you. i'm so sorry i missed that.
wow. you are going to be such a good mom.

Soooo happy for you!

I started feeling amazing energy at 16 weeks and that continued until about 8 months pregnant. You look great! And I am very impressed by you eating. I was pretty good with Wee 'Burb, but I know I could have eaten cleaner.
I am excited to make these muffins. I mean, you know I am obsessed w/ those pumpkin ones!
That apron is SO CUTE!!

You look so adorable! I can't wait to see your belly pop!
Can you still sleep like normal or have you had to change your sleeping position? I'm a side/tummy sleeper and I always worry about that! I mean obviously most of the pregnancy will require sleeping differently but I wonder if it's different right away.
Ah! I don't know how I missed that you were preggers!!! CONGRATS LADY!!!! You look absolutely radiant and i'm glad you're feeling well!!!
That's the cutest little baby bump!
I love the apron, that's adorable!
glad you're able to do some low impact exercise.
the cookies look delish!!
Could you not work out during your first trimester?
I still have not tried PB flour....but I will soon!!!
Ah, those cookies are being made left and right. In my kitchen and in your kitchen.
I like to read about your mommy journey so for me, I like seeing the baby bump pictures. I'll probably do the same :)

You are so cute!! Yeah for that bump! I know it is amazing how quickly things change in your body when pregnant - exciting though. Your Itzy's Kitchen apron is adorable!
Sounds like a lovely weekend! And your bump is coming along awesome, Erica!! I remember being SO tired with Noah that my arms felt like they weighed 1000lbs each. Just remember that your bod is hard at work! :) Glad to hear you're feeling well, though...

Congrats! You look great with your belly bump, although I agree that you are so petite it's so subtle.
