in the beginning

to start, let's introduce myself and this blog.

i am a twenty-one year old single mother pregnant with my first baby. we found out yesterday that it's a boy! the ultrasound was pretty fun. i'm 31 weeks along so we were able to get some awesome shots. it's still weird to think that there's a living being inside of me. i am honestly ready for the pregnant stage to just be done with and have the baby but who isn't i would imagine. better out than in right?? for me this pregnancy hasn't been easy as the details around it have been hard and i've gone through depression and negativity but i've finally decided to move past that and get ready and excited for this new life and my new life along with it. some days still suck. like super suck. but it will all be okay. being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and having a knowledge of the gospel is something that definitely helps me through those days and a supportive and loving family. 

anyways, i decided to start this blog so i could blog about the certain things i love and am passionate about. number one being my soon to be little family, fitness, eating right, and creating {as in DIY projects from Pinterest,} and the gospel. i figured when better to start teaching my son to eat right than while still pregnant. as crazy as it seems to me, they're smarter than you think at this tiny phase and they notice and live on the good, or bad, things you choose to eat or happen to crave during pregnancy. or the exercise that helps you better care for your and your baby's body. i'm not saying don't indulge, because that would be crazy. just be aware of what you're putting in your body. all of these factors and more affect them. so i figured i could blog about my life while providing tips for pregnant moms, as long as i'm pregnant, as well as hopefully receiving some of my own tips. i don't claim to be an expert in any one of these fields but i'll share what works for me and my family and hopefully that can help someone out in cyberspace. 

and that's it for today. let me know along the way if you want tips for anything specific or have questions. as i said, i'm always learning so any tips or advice you have to offer would be great as well. i hope you enjoy. 

stay great and positive!
