A New Chapter: I’m Pregnant!

by | Mar 17, 2014 | Health, Lifestyle, Pregnancy

23weeksThe last few months seem to have flown by.  The holiday season was full force, consisting of an extremely busy schedule of travel, holiday parties, (holiday weight gain,) and a dose of extra special news: I’m pregnant! I’m ready for a new chapter!

Of course finding out wasn’t that shocking to me.  In fact, you could say we “planned this”.  Though I wasn’t really expecting it to happen so suddenly.

After we returned from Italy for our anniversary trip, we decided it would be a good time to think about starting a family.  I had really been preparing myself over the past year with cleansing (I’ll get into that later), working out, having a proper diet, and taking suggested supplements and vitamins from my naturopath so I felt ready.

I decided to visit my health coach at Inspired Wellness to get the inside scoop on getting pregnant–all the stuff besides just having sex.  She opened my eyes to so many things of which I hadn’t thought, including the importance of charting my cycle and acupuncture.  So I took her advice and downloaded a few apps (ok, like 5) and scheduled my first acupuncture appointment.

The next week my husband and I headed up north for a romantic weekend.  When we came home, I was pretty sure IT HAPPENED!

A week and half later I took the test, and it confirmed our success.

I’m now currently 23 weeks along and due July 17.  I’ll be sharing my journey with updates and stories as well as tips and advice I receive.  And as always, I welcome any feedback or advice you have to offer.  I’m so excited to share this news with you and look forward to keeping you updated.

XOXO Bridjet
