Week 9

It has been a chaotic week in the Taylor household. Every single person in this house has been sick. On top of that, I was travelling. Lets just say it has been brutal. Thankfully there has been no doctors appointments or followups, so I had a bit of a break from that. I left early Friday morning for my first ever invite event for Beachbody and I was blown away. I had an AMAZING time with some other coaches from my larger team and it couldn't have come at a better time. With everything that has been going on it was really nice to get away and recharge. I got the opportunity to tour Beachbody headquarters and workout with Joel and Jericho from my current workout program, Core De Force. One of those "get your butt back into workout gear" experiences. Plus as a mom who works from home every day, and lives in workout clothes, it was nice to get dressed up and spend a little time in adult only conversation.

How far along?

 Weeks

Weight Gain

I actually went down a lb (thanks to some dialed in nutrition) and am right on track with where I should be at about 5lb gain. 

How big is baby?

Gren Olive

 ~/07oz

What's baby up to this week?

This week his/her tail disappears and fingers and toes have formed. His head is still larger and his eyes are fully developed but will be fused shut for the next 16 weeks or son. 

Symptoms?

Nothing honestly I keep saying I forget I am pregnant. I mean with 3 kiddos exhaustion and lack of sleep is a regular soooooo that's nothing new. I was a little jet lagged after such long plane ride but short trip so Monday was just a rest and relaxation day. 

Maternity Clothes?

NO and my plan is to go as long as possible. Thankfully my work attire consists of workout clothes everyday so praying I make it this go round. I actually felt cute in a dress I haven't worn for a while why I was in LA so that was nice. I will say this go around has been different body comparison wise. I have worked extremely hard for the past 2 years to get my body to where its at and its CRAZY different it responds when I have been in the healthiest shape of my life even at 31 and after 3 kids. 

Sleep?

I crave it, need it, want it, 

Missing Anything?

I had to bypass on the free drink tickets in LA (bummer) I am not an alcoholic by any means haha but its always nice to enjoy a beverage when you are socializing with other adults and the craving was something fierce when a couple of us went out for dinner and drinks. So I substituted and had a mango mocktiny lol. 

Craving?

I actually did pretty well this week packed my snacks for trip and munched on those (though somehow some gummy bears did sneak there way in there) but I was definitely more famished then normal and wanted to EAT ALOT. 

Aversions?

Still pretty much the cooking of food or smell of food at night. Other than that nope.

Emotions?

Pretty happy this week other than the fact that I was dealing with sick people lol. 

Movement? 

Nope I would hope not lol. 

Best Moment of the week

Getting a mommy work weekend away and feeling refreshed personally and professionally. 

Pregnancy Brain Moments

Ugh so I had this moment at the airport that was AWFUL. Most don't know but because my kids names are hyphenated I kept my maiden name as well but only go by Taylor. Welllll at the airport security Friday morning (after an already crazy uber driver, super long bag check lines) I made it through the security line like 30 min before my flight (like when we should be boarding) only to have a butt head of security guy whom because you could only see Bissonnette on my boarding plane and not Taylor wouldn't let me through EVEN though its on my license. So imagine me back in toe, tears streaming down my face about to miss my flight having to run all way back to ticket counter to have them make the font smaller to fit the whole dang thing. Thankfully a nice lady let me cut back in the security line and I literally made it as they were boarding the last group. But it was not exactly how I wanted to start my trip. 

Looking forward to?

Getting back into the swing of things with work after an emotional couple of weeks and finally feeling up to working out more than 2 times a week. 

Projects/Baby Gear purchased?

Nope nothing yet 

Exercise?

This week made me feel like my old self again. After the live workout with Joel and Jericho I was soooo ready to jump back into Core De  Force faithfully. I made it Monday-Friday with only missing Thursday and felt really great going into the weekend.
