20 weeks and 80s fun

So, I realized it's been 3 months since I've been on here.  And, although my audience is not big, I miss seeing everyone else.  Plus, I miss blogging.  Lots have changed since April.

* Closed down my in home daycare and I'm able to do some fun play groups and library groups with D

* I'm 20 weeks along (WE'RE HAVING A BOY).  Feeling good, lifting, yoga, and cardio are my buddies

* I'm starting a kids fitness group, a small 5 week program for 3-5 year olds.  I am so excited and passionate about it, but still looking for the right place to start it up.

 This pregnancy has been different than my first.  I have so much more energy and I don't know if it's because I have learned how to eat and when to eat or if it's because running after a 2 year old and potty training have kept me busy.  I will say, that I am loving this pregnancy (now, because first trimester SUCKS!  Bloated, and sick, and looking like you have a fupa and not a baby...no fun).  I actually love being in my own skin, which is such a new and wonderful thing. 

  This weekend has been so much fun, my friend turned 40.  She had an 80's party, which was a total blast.  Dave went as Gene Simmons, D went as Tom Cruise (well, Joel) from Risky Business, and I was an 80's girl (felt limited with the belly ha).  It was fun.  I forgot how much fun dress up parties are.  

So, like I said before I closed down my daycare in June.  Loved my little buddies, but with Ben on the way and me wanting to do Advocare things needed to change.  I am loving the decision and it has even made me want to start up my kids fitness group.  I have my personal trainer certification (work on youth trainer now), but I really loved kids.  I was looking around and thinking, we need a kids movement class.  I put together a 5 week program the is designed to get kids moving (exercising, but having fun), interacting and incorporating teamwork, and talking about healthy eating choices.  I am pumped about it because I feel like it would be a great way to start building a healthy foundation for our youth.  I am just looking around at daycares, some parks, and going to start asking a few gyms.  I wish there was a place I could just do these classes here (so send prayers/positive vibes/words of encouragement/whatever your nice things are) that I can start kicking these off!

Well, I leave you with the pics from a past couple of weeks.  And, forgive me as I slowly start to ease back into the blogging world.  Thanks for those that read this :)
