What I’m thankful for this week:
This week I am thankful for Twitter Friends! I have connected with some awesome new moms and moms-to-be over the last few months. It’s so exciting to share this journey with others and awesome to be able to reach out for advice and share our ups and downs as we all finish out our first pregnancies. I’m sure we’ll be staying in touch as we all enter into the journey of motherhood. 🙂
Other great blog posts/articles I read this week:
- Video: 39 Weeks Pregnant Workout by Christa at Cassandra Forsythe – It’s nice to see I’m not the only crazy 9+ months pregnant woman working out hard. Check out this momma’s workout!
- Go In Wearing Blinders at Mother Fitness – Kellie shares a different/awesome perspective on worrying about you, instead of always comparing yourself to others or striving to be someone else. Become the best you.
- It’s Not About Me at Faith Fitness Fun – After you read Kellie’s post above about becoming the best you, read Tina’s post about how it’s not all about you! 🙂 We are placed on this earth to become the best version of ourselves so that we can give more to others as God intended.
What are you thankful for this week?

Awesome – thanks! I’m so glad I found your blog (it was recommended on the Mothering.com forums). I’m a long-distance runner and currently run and/or workout every day, and was worried that I’d have to stop during pregnancy, so reading your posts about exercise has been (and will continue to be) SO helfpul. I’ll of course check in with my doctor, too 🙂

Hi there, I know it’s been awhile since you posted this…how did you find twitter/online friends when you were pregnant? I just found out that I’m 5 weeks along, and don’t have any pregnant friends. Any suggestions on how to find others like me? Thanks!

Hi! If you start following for the hashtag #pregnancy and search for other ones (think specific…first trimester… #12weeks, etc.) I’m sure you’ll run into other pregnant women who are due around the same time as you. Once you find a few, they usually know a few others and you end up all connecting. It’s really fun! Email me if you have other questions. Happy to help!!
