Yup....I am pregnant again!! This will be baby number 3. Can't believe I will have 3 kids! I just found out last week that I am expecting. I am actually exactly 5 weeks today. I decided to do this pregnancy a little different. My first pregnancy I gained about 65 lbs. Second pregnancy gained 50 lbs. So I have a tendency of gaining a lot of weight with my pregnancies. I look at pregnancies as a time to eat what I want when I want! And I never exercised with either of the pregnancies. I did manage to lose all the weight within 10 months of having each baby.
Last month I started the 30 day Primal Challenge that Mark Sisson had. I have been reading his blog for a few years now. Of course I agree with everything he says about being primal and all the benefits but I could never commit to eating primal. I did the 30 day Primal Challenge he had in September of this year. I lost 10 lbs in 30 days. I felt great! I had energy. I was never hungry. I slacked a lot the first few weeks in October. Therefore now I do not feel the greatest. I can tell a HUGE difference when I am not eating Primal. Then I found out I was pregnant. I was so excited! The first thing I thought was this time I am doing it the right way. No eating crap all the time like I did with the previous two pregnancies. I am hoping this helps with my morning sickness as well. We will see. I had some morning sickness with the first and really bad morning sickness with the second. I think I threw up everyday for the first three months. And they were both boys. But they say every pregnancy is different.
So, I have known I was pregnant for a week now. Have I been eating primal?? Some. Not as good as I would like. Tomorrow is when I am starting for good and I plan on blogging about my experience with my Primal Pregnancy. I plan on exercising during this pregnancy too. I bought a Kettlebell today and I used that. Really great workout. I can tell I am not going to be able to move tomorrow.
So, with this Primal Pregnancy Blog I plan on updating on how I feel everyday (energy level, sickness, and overall how I feel) track my weight gain, what exercise I did if any for the day, and a little bit about what I ate each day. Now remember, I am pregnant. I will tell you right now I will have some bad food. I am just hoping to keep it to a minimum. And I also plan on blogging after the baby is born to update on his/her health and everything.
My first baby weighed 9 lbs 10 oz and my second was 7 lbs 3 oz. The first one had jaundice and had to be sent home with a billy blanket and my second was in the NICU for 7 days due to underdeveloped lungs. And both were c-section babies. The first one I was in labor over 17 hours and pushed for over an hour before the doctor said the baby was not coming out this way. The second was a planned c-section just because the first was a c-section. So we will see how the third one turns out with me eating more healthy and exercising while pregnant.
Here goes another journey in our life!!
