Rocking my compression hose and V2 Support

At 25 weeks, I'm finding that smaller meals are the way to go—I feel much better when I focus on healthier fats. My go-tos lately have been avocados and quality oils added to my meals, and it’s really making a difference.

This past week, I’ve noticed more low back spasms, especially after standing for long periods. I’m still enjoying my morning walks with my dog, which serve as my reflection time, but I do experience some round ligament pain, particularly when walking uphill. To help with the discomfort, I focus on core engagement, or what I like to call "core hugging," during those uphill climbs. I’m also planning to try out a core belly support soon to see if it eases the pain.

Baby boy is the size of a cauliflower this week and is kicking up a storm! My oldest, Jackson, has been affectionately calling the baby "Fred" for the past couple of months. It’s become such a habit that I’m finding it tough to think of any other name—every suggestion I make is met with, "Fred is a fine name for a baby." He’s just too cute!

Despite the busyness, I’m still making time for core, arms, and legs workouts, along with some prenatal yoga (which is so relaxing that I may have dozed off during class!). Balancing walks, workouts, patients, and mom life is hectic, but I wouldn’t have it any other way—I’m loving every minute of it!
