39 weeks and... Still big

hmm... I still have my strength but I don't feel too, too... hmmm... I don't FEEL as strong as I use to. I guess I just need some rest. More than usual :)

Gosh, that balloon is taking up space. I'm just over 70kg in this picture. 

It started out as a back day but I ended up making it a shoulder workout...

What ever. As long as I can still enjoy everything ;)

AND move the BIG weights around ;)

Horse

So what's with the long face? You might ask...
I checked my calories again. On a short day (if I sleep late) I'm hardly taking in 1600-1800 kcal :/
That's not good.
That's not good at all.

So I fixed it.
:)

Weather

the day started out just fine... +15C, a bit wet and cloudy. I wore some of my winter clothes just to be sure that I don't freeze on my walk...

later the same day we got thunder and hailstorms, the temperature dropped under +10C and there I was, standing in the kitchen, still hoping to catch some rays and sleep in the sun before the boy pops out :)

What a weird year :)

It's gay pride week here on this planet... I've been watching programs about gays and their history every night. It's really interesting. I wonder if our son will be gay or bi or something in the middle? He'll definitely go through the phase in his life when some of his friends experiment and some find a new, better life out side "the norm". 

I must remember to keep telling him that "It gets better" if he feels like he is gay and that the world still wants to kill him...

I can't protect him forever :/

But I know he'll be fine <3

Oh shit

We drove to west Finland ("coast") instead...
I look like shit but hey... It's summer and kiddo has started his "get me out of here!" crazynessss...

We're cooking food under ground again and I'm taking looong naps.

:)

Midsummer rains

My workout partner for this weekend...

Do the work...

Rainy. Cold. Hills. Long walk. Preg: 37 weeks. Finnish summer...

Shoulders at home

Well... It works. I Can train like an animal at home. I can get a pump with just some aminos, 1l water bottle (I drank it... It was Not the weight! G.D.Y.) and a banana. Wait... Where's my banana?

Shit.
I ate it yesterday.
Oh look. An apple :)

I used a gymstick, weights and a rubber band. 

I think I found this on her facebook page but I can't seem to find it today...

Tired

Some days I feel tired. Belly hurts, head feels goofy, legs don't carry, arms just hang and I keep dropping things and walking into things...

I had a glutes+calves day... Oh boy, not the easiest work out. Last for this week.

Next week I'm starting my home work outs AND sticking to my long walks :)

Right Now I'm back on the sofa and my belly is full of good food and water <3

So what does the week end look like?
It looks great. We're going "off the grid" and I'll play with an axe for two days.
We'll buy a small lamb and cook it under ground. I can have all the chicken legs I want and although it'll propably rain every day we'll have a blast on the woods ;)

(too tired to check for spelling errors)

Come rain or shine

I had a bad hair day.
I took me 2 work outs to let go of the darn "hair issue"... I can't do anything (big) to it right now. Next month, maybe, but not soon.
I'll cut some off. Maybe 5-10cm. I need a Real color. Not this "wet sand"... This sucks.

I'm also looking forward to getting my body back. Just 35min ago I was so hungry that I ate double the amount that I was supposed to eat. And Now I'm thirsty like a camel :)

So... So nothing. I got the next hour for myself. I'll just drink water, enjoy the sofa and watch a short movie or the Mythbusters (it's on tv)...


Aah. I can't wait to get our son here --> I can start documenting his and MY growth to a bigger and better person <3

#1 work out: triceps @ Kunto-Mekka, Kuusankoski with Noora Huhtala -->

http://www.sportlife.fi/wordpress/category/noora-huhtala/

http://www.girlswithmuscle.com/299073/Noora-Huhtala

#2 work out: quads @ Valkealatalo, Valkeala

It's a rainy day. It's not cold but I like to dress warm when it rains :)

About my food and some pics

I eat food. I make my own food... cooking I mean, I try to stay away from anything precooked and ready made and all that frozen shit or fast food or what ever you call it...

I have ice-cream when I want it (I seem to want it 3 times a week), and I brought bread back as a gift to my sweet tooth. It's the same as candy to me and since we were in South Africa I've been able to eat ANY kind of bread, even the really dark bread we have here, everywhere.

I'm still sticking to my idea of only eating fruits in the weekend (another candy for my brain), but IF I want a banana after my workout I can have it. :)

I brought all my favorite dairy products back so I'm eating and drinking (per day):
- 100-150g cottage cheese
- 200-400g curd (or "milk pudding")
- 4-5dl milk (in my recovery drink and with coffee --> 0-2 cups per day)
- 2dl yogurt (if I feel like it)
... something like that.

I had a Leg Monday with Samuli Koutajoki at Kuntokeskus K&M

soft like a little elephant :)

12kg of "Boy and accessories" hanging on my body... I wonder if I'll loose ANY of it at the hospital? Maybe some... 

And Why the hell are my boobs still growing?

I'm having a hard time posing my pecs at the gym... 

Number 1: I can't make my chest pop up (from my sternum) like it used to

Number 2: I end up just pushing my boobs together and looking like a pin up girl with wide shoulders

Maybe this "madness" will come to an end after I get my core back?... :D

36 weeks preg...

Kiddo sure loves to run around.
He seems to be more active every week. I wonder if he'll ever stop when he gets out of his "prison"?

I haven't stopped moving either :)
Since I got my ability to walk back I've been going on short walks every other day. 30-50min in the open air feels great <3

Usually I walk to the close by hill and back but sometimes it just seems so much more fun to go up and down 3 times and reflect on last summer... that darn hill. It's still so stupidly steep :D

all pumped up and nearly 69kg... yeah, mostly fat... I know.

...but I also know that I HAVE muscles under there and I'll bring them back SOON :)

9 pm

It's 21:00 and I went for a walk.
The sun is still nice and high... And I Can Walk!!! :)

Just try and hold me back!

I can walk with out my pelvic area dropping off :D
Aah... I'm doing this again tomorrow night <3

35 weeks and counting

just under 68kg (162cm)

chest + biceps today...

I did some poses too and noticed that once a week is Not enough... but I had fun :)

I got it on tape and I can laugh at it when I Finally come up with a Real routine and start polishing it for the stage ;)

I'm pretty sure I have the music sorted out already <3

***

We got some baby stuff again. Second hand = good enough and cheaper :) 

I still forget -sometimes- that I'm carrying another human inside me. The belly IS a good reminder, but sometimes it just disappears from my radar. (In the car, in the store, while sleeping...)

***

I noticed last night -when Trying to do the Right thing and sleep only on my side- that I stop breathing if I'm on my side. Both sides are "deadly". I just can't do it. There's no point in waking up to gasp for air or to sleep in 15min intervals... just to wake up to an empty scream in my mouth :(

So I'll stay on my back. I'll sleep well and the kiddo won't die from my constant Sleep Apnea or what ever this was. 

This "Apnea thing" has never bothered me before. All the other weeks have been OK. I haven't slept on my side much, but this time when I Forced myself to do so, it got TOO weird. 

No need to endanger the boy by Trying to play by the rules.

I'll do thing My way. The Only way ;)

Back day... or was it?

I had a back day, a good day, a day to remember... but I didn't get a REAL work out.
It just doesn't FEEL like a work out when you're pregnant... (ever)

I can't "kill myself" at the gym so I feel half baked and sloppy.
I can't go as high with my weights and I can't go as low with my squats and I can't push myself over the limits and I can't....... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH, I hate settling for less.

Thank goodness for Rob Bailey whispering in my ear:

Beast mode: ON

Quads and chest... just felt like mixing things around :)

I just can't stop feeling strong :)

why people don't talk to me at the gym :D
I'm in Beast mode :D

34 weeks... 68kg... I feel great!

Sometimes at night when I have to get up and go to the toilet I DON'T feel great... I feel like my abs are falling off. BUT, if I take it easy, sit by the bed just for a few seconds and then slowly get up... the bad feeling goes away :) Happy me! :)

Photos and poses

It was a Hot weekend :)

Saturday: cars, cars cars

Sunday: photo shoot at Sofia Virtanen, Hamina
www.sofiavirtanen.fi

When ever I need GOOD work --> I call Sofia :)

before we started I got my make up and hair from Minna Hirvonen www.glitz8glam.com

She did GREAT work... and it was close to +30C all the time :D ...well, at least +28C.

all done, WATER!

34 weeks pregnant :)

I'm melting :P

gosh, it was nice and hot that day <3

Some of the pics will be personal (as usual) but some of my old works are in Minna's blog (she did the make up and Sofia took the pics):

15 months out?

After fixing my diet I've lost 2kg of bloated water and shit.
I got a lot of my energy back and I'm still feeding the boy the right way :)

15 months... about. I have to buy my licence in January so by then I should be more than 50% sure. I also need to find a coach this fall. A year (1 year, 12 months!) from now I must know my competition schedule and have the hotels booked... I'll need to who'll help me backstage (if any) and start planning my recovery the next fall.

I always plan ahead. That's how I don't go mad with food when off season hits and I take a few days off...

Feelin' fat, R ya?

I don't look too thin... But I'm 33weeks pregnant so fuxk dat...

Just cleaned up my diet again.
I've been popping too many white carbs lately. Popping down shit. Feeling bloated and tired.
Klick-klack, klick-klack... Boom! Two days and I feel SO much better :)

I weigh around 68kg. It might even go down a bit. Oh We'll. I'm at the gym maybe 2-3 times a week. No hurry with my lifting... I want to fix my diet first :)

My diet is about 80% of my lifting. Bad food equals shitty training. Good food = Great workout = Competition season <3

I gave myself a "go mad" day every Saturday. We'll see how mad I feel next Saturday :) Usually the first one is the hardest... I don't want kill my good feelings with white shit and sugar and bad carbs... But I AM going to eat as many fruits as I can! :-P

Long day

It'll be a Very long day by the time we're home...
I cleaned up the car and prepped the rest of the food for a quick snack before we leave...

Now it's all about waiting for the guys and doing some more stretches :)

My inner thighs are So Tight!! Aargh...

How do I handle bloating

Warm weather, too much sitting around, tired, not enough water, too much salt, not eating clean, not exercising at all, travelling, not sleeping well, no chance to put my legs up (with out killing my knees or lower back)...

So what can I do?

1) don't blame the surroundings and make up excuses.
2) get MORE water and stick to drinking but keep an eye on the clock and the amount of water going in and coming out --> don't just look at the water --> drink it in small amounts and make sure your muscles stay "happy" and your stomach works every day.
3) stretch your body: legs, butt, (calves and ankles too!), back, sides (abs), neck, chest, wrists... everything! Don't just pickle yourself with warm air and sips of water (a sweaty, bloated, puffy faced, pissed off and constipated, tired female is NEVER a good thing. Stretching moves the water around in your body, it's not as good as cardio but it will help with the feeling: "something is very wrong and I can't tell if I'm hungry or not".
4) wear GOOD clothes. Don't wear clothes that make you feel even worse. Don't wear clothes that make it impossible to stretch or sit normally or walk freely etc.
5) wear GOOD shoes. Don't wear shoes that keep falling of if you walk on grass or backwards or do your stretches... Sneakers are good but DON'T let yourself look like a "fat tourist" 'cause you'll only hate yourself (when you see the pics on someone else's facebook) and forget to drink and move and enjoy the weather again ;)
6) smile. It actually helps to keep an open mind and stay focused on the positive parts. I don't hang around very long if someone is all about "Ooh, I'm so bloated... aah, I feel like a whale... Uuh, I'm just so tired, can you sit here with me and not drink water together and just listen to me whine about everything..."
7) keep an eye on your food intake. Others may feel better not eating 'cause it's so hot but YOU need to stay happy and keep your belly working! Don't diet like an idiot and then wonder why you're tired all the time and the trips to the toilet are only giving you a head ache...

stretch where you can, when you can, no excuses!

Legends

It's a race weekend!

We're at Jurva (Kurikka)... it's a 4,014 km long track out here somewhere half way up lady Finland's butt... :D

It's a a good track! And they have showers and everything for us who live out of our campers this weekend. The nearest town is about 10 km away.

Legends:

Honey drives #6

a link to English pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legends_car_racing

Kiddo sure likes it :) I do too! :D

My top priority is to keep the food on the table and coffee ready... It's a warm weekend. Friday was chilly... frozen-friday almost. The nights have not been too warm but it help to wake up every 3 hours to go to the toilet (it's about 500m away?... it feels like 1km at 3am). The sun gets up around 4am and sets around 11pm so it's not even dark anymore ;)

It's a good weekend!

On the "not so good side":
- all this traveling and sitting and not eating clean is making me bloated
- my ankles, thighs and fingers feel like big, thick sausages again
- I can't drink water as much as I'd like to 'cause the toilet is so frelling FAR AWAY
- I can't get my feet up 'cause we don't have the right kind of chairs or sofas or anything here and I'm NOT going to sit on the grass and freeze my ass off... and the dogs keep doing their "business" right in front of our camper >:O

5 nights of bad dreams

It took 5 nights for the nightmares to cool off...
The first 3 I was able to forget but the last two keep floating around in my mind.

#4 I was at a lecture (or some kind of a "learning party") about photography and modeling. I had a heavy winter coat on me and several warm shirts. It was summer but I felt cold. I sat next to a girl who loved her camera. She loved it so much she called it by name, "Cammy" it was...

She took some pics of me by the wall and kept asking me to pose for her and to have my arms up or to the sides and to make faces. I didn't. I just stood there like a doll... but when she showed me her pics from the camera I was shocked! In the pics I was wearing a black dress with red cherries, no sleeves, and doing all the poses that she wanted! The pics were mushy but I could tell it looked like me. I didn't have ANY tattoos in the pics but my arms looked like mine. I asked her to take some video so I could see if made any difference (by this time the dream got very COLD). She took some video and I couldn't believe it, I moved around on the video just like she wanted, I did all the poses and had that dark dress on... More people started to take pics and video me...

Why was this a nightmare? --> Everyone had control over me but ME, everyone got their pictures JUST like they wanted but I was cold and didn't care for the attention... I ran away from that place as the people there started to loose their faces. They literally melted off :( They had no eyes but their cameras could see everything.

I tripped over a very small boy before I got out. He kept laughing and showed me the door. He was dressed like a gentleman in the 1920's and he had a cane with him. He didn't look too dangerous but I lied to him about where I was going.

#5 Giant pirates, dead and decomposing pirates, were kept in giant glass tanks... The pirates were about 20m high and the room had more than 8 of them there. They all stood up right and the person giving the tour told us that they were SO EVIL that they could not die... The water moved and small bubbles ran across their sculls that still had most of their flesh on them. Some times a pirate would turn to look at you and sometimes you could see how the flesh would just peel off his back thigh... YÄK!

I hated being on this crazy tour from hell... The room had no gravity so we had to swim through the air. I didn't swim like I usually do (diving around like a happy little dolphin). I swam right against the floor like a little scared frog. I begged out loud that I could leave this room as I crept towards the big mahogany doors... I tried to swim as fast as I could but the air was thick and I took ALL my efforts just to keep moving slowly... "Please, please let me go", I cried and grabbed the door handle.

I made it out but as I fell down the stairs I saw that some of the other rooms (in that same museum) were closed but the key holes had red slime pushing through them and an eye in everyone of them stared at me.

"I need to get out of here" was my first thought.

At the bottom of the stairs I was told to go back up, back to the room with the undead pirates.
I woke myself up and I took me a minute or two to get out of bed. It was SO cold in the bedroom...

Oh God, I hope my dream space doesn't have a connection to our son.
I hope he sees dreams like his father. Good dreams but NO HAUNTING! Some of my dreams are more than 30 years, maybe 32 years old and I STILL remember how horrible they were.

It's a whole other life at night :)
The good dreams are GOOD ;) even better then the real thing <3
But the bad dreams can get very scary... and the only problem is that it takes a lot of effort to FORGET the feelings I have in those dreams... But I'm quite good at it :)

The 4th night

Nightmares... Ghosts and dead people... Coming soon.

***

32 weeks pregnant and kiddo sure loves to dance <3

Mom threw the cat at the wall last night (in her sleep) and squirrels keep raiding her herbs and other balcony stuff...

(the cat is fine)
:)

HH-10

Me and my old friend <3

Today I'm off to Helsinki for some extra training in marathon massage (Helsinki City Run)...

Box squat

I'm about 68kg... the weight on my back was 70kg.

I won ;)

I could have gone higher/longer if I weren't pregnant.
But safety first :)
Even the (long & wooden) bench started to tilt under me ;D too much weight on one end...

oh... sorry about the hair. It's NOT going to be a habit!

Baby slept through the whole work out again...
Some lady at the gym asked me:
"does the baby get jumpy while you work out"
Me: "No. He sleeps when I work out ...or work."
The lady: "blaa-blaa-blaa-blaa :)"
Me: (continue with my warm ups) "mm-m" :)

Old school

I went "home" after a looong time <3

My good friend Reetta has her blog here: http://retukivisentie.blogspot.fi/

Samuli Koutajoki Big Boss at Kuntokeskus K&M
www.kuntokeskuskm.fi

I hit my upper back and shoulder with my honey... I was the MOST effective work out in weeks! I sure is up to the GYM as well as up to ME ---> Do the Work! (Do it at the Right place)

I did all sorts of fun sets with the different equipment they have there <3 I also hit my back with one armed rows --> 30kg was still ok :) Even though I weigh over 68kg now... Oh well, I guess weight isn't everything. Maybe I should try it with 34kg ;)

I'm going back at the end of this month. And I would love to check that place out next month too ('cause I'll be a huge balloon by then and it will look so funny... I'll take pics and videos!) <3

Samuli's gym moved few months ago across the street :)

Now everything is on the same floor :)

Gosh I wish we lived in Lahti <3 I could train there all the time!

:)

Red bikinis

I was at a fitness competition last night :)
It was a different competition... we didn't have ANY audience.
It was just us, the camera crews and the people who made things happen.

We weren't on time. It wasn't anyone's fault, Someone just kept changing the order all the time (on the internet): first the men were supposed to star the day, then it was the women, then it was the bodybuilders, now it was the fitness girls...

By the time my alarm rang I was still pumping up for my stage time - not knowing if I were actually going yet - and dancing around to soften my nerves... no point in being nervous since there wasn't even an audience out there... In fact, there weren't even any seats 'cause the sitting area was our prepping area :)

I was warming up just 30m from the front of the stage :)

I looked around and all the Pros didn't seem to mind the delay but all of us Amateurs felt like our money and months of prepping was being wasted :/

I woke up happy 'cause I looked Really good in my red bikini <3
But I don't think I'll ever go red in real life though?

(A lot of the Pros were wearing red as well.)

I'm heavy

OMG that belly makes me look silly?!?! This video is from last week end.

Dipping is getting harder and harder :(

Last night I got tired after 2 dips, I did the next 10 with one foot on the "leg rest". 2 sets like this and I was totally ready to do something else...

I had a GOOD arm day :) It's just that I can't do EVERYTHING... oh well... Kiddo was happy <3

Wow...

I just hit 68kg.
68... how much higher will it go? I "should" gain around 300-400/week... Or so I have been growing :) if I have Around 8 weeks left I'll gain... hmmm... Let me think (8*300 & 8*400 = ~2400-3200 grams)... 2-3kg! Holy shit locker, I'll go over 70kg for sure!!?

OMG

Where will I put it?... :-D
I'm getting too heavy for dipping... I did 2*2 and the rest had to be helped... Shit.

Do the work.

Do it.

Then IT works ;)

Slowly

Some new clothes are starting to hang around the house... (baby laundry)

I still "forget" about the whole thing every now and then. Especially after work, in the car or while I sleep.

Kiddo loves to move around and take part in things he hears (or so I believe). He also sits in silence if I'm working, at the gym, cleaning the house or cooking or what ever... :)

Food

Finally a leg day but the Darn gym closed on me again :(
I forgot it closes at 20:00.
So it was a quicky leggie day...
Now for some big food and Hellboy 2 :)

WTF?

Sometimes things just happen for a reason or was this an accident?...

hmmm...

Since we got back I've been feeling great (well I did have a small flu). I "lost" all my allergies in Africa :)

I've even been doing BIG tests where I eat and drink the stuff that usually makes me sick: normal milk, dark bread, apples, tomatoes etc.

I still feel great :)

Was it Africa that cured me?
Or was it something else that Finally happened?

...and why does my son love to kick me in the bladder ALL the time :D
He's so sweet when he reminds me of himself.
Yes. I still forget him every now and then... sorry. He's just not that heavy All the time. And he's not in my way either...

Cool kid ;)

Animals in the "wild"...

Sunny City

Finally

Finally the big anatomy test is done, my flu is slowly going away and by the time I'm home I'll still have time too cook up a huge pot of meat&pasta... Aah, the joy of living :)

And I think I'm "30 weeks" now so I might even start to remember that this will "end" some day... The Belly will be a Boy and my abs will be mine again <3 I miss my normal body... It's so much nicer then this balloon version.

We're back from Suid-Afrika

Yes, we're back :)

Baby loved it, I loved it, everybody loved it... and now all we have is our memories <3

29 weeks :)

My legs sure didn't love flying (first 2,5h and then 10,5h and that's just ONE way)... we left home early on a Saturday and we were finally at the safari LATE Sunday night. It took me DAYS to get my legs normal (we spent too many days in cars and I got tired if I walked too much). 

Back at home (this Monday) it only took me about 2 days to get rid of the bloated feeling and "olifant" legs ;)

I'll share some pics later but there's really nothing to tell about my work outs since I HAVEN'T DONE ANY :( 

It's exam weeks at school so I'm not training this week either... 2 weeks of rest. How will I manage?
Even the baby is in wonderment.

Gone fishing

I'm taking my honey and bunny and flying under a different sky (different stars!).
I'll be back after my birthday and Easter...

'til then here's some front squats with 50kg.

I'm about 64kg (28 weeks preg.)

I warmed up with 40kg but "just had to try it" a bit heavier...
Not as low as I would like it... I think I'll stick to 45kg for now...

No rush. Baby first ;)

Dead B.

Last night I found it...
The smell of sweet death had been following me around for a week now.
At the gym everything smelled like bananas.

Last night I cleaned my gym bag and found the body.

One of my recovery bananas had died. (...forgotten)

Its sweet sugary smell filled my gym bag as I lifted its limp, dark brown body from the bottom. It still had its price sticker on it... poor little banana.

Oh well, others will come.
It was time to wash that bag anyway :)

chest and biceps

I had a good work out, it's THE feeling of freedom that mostly feeds my hunger :)
The hunger that never goes away <3
Hunger for life, hunger for love, hunger for More...

Chest and biceps sure got their iron "pills" today :)

One of my last dip sets for the day:

I just felt like dipping... 27 weeks pregnant, who wouldn't feel like dipping ;)

Some of my Hurrah - moments of the day:

I got so used to using only 6kg dumbbells with This move (last year) so I'm Pleasantly surprised that I can now go as high as 9kg dumbells if I want to :)

I actually started with long sets with 5kgs and kept climbing up 'til I reached 9kgs (and still got a short set out of it). The 10kg dumbbells were a bit too heavy. Maybe next month ;)

Them drunks

I don't like drunks and people who are full of drugs and super happy and smell like shit and come too close and want to touch my belly and "always know someone who also had a baby" (like I give a shit about their friends...)...
Those darn drunks better stay away from my belly and our massage place :/

(yes, they didn't stay away today... Neither did I.
Attack is the best defense, but I have to think about my boy too... next time I'll just use smoke bombs or call the guards or something?)

Stupid drunks and their smelly teeth and shitty clothes and all that shit! :O

27 weeks preg. and still lifting nicely...

Stupid week.
I got in (only) 2 gym days and 2 home work outs.
My home work outs didn't even pump me up. I was mostly just tired and "full" (I didn't wait a full hour or two after my dinner...) and nothing seemed to weigh enough :/
Stupid home work outs, stupid placebo work outs...

It's week 27 now and I'll probably have 10 more or what ever left...
Shoulder day was cut short because I had forgotten (AGAIN! STUPID!!!) that the -Frelling- gym closes at 1900. I got most of my work out done but I was hoping to make it a shoulders+quads day.

Klik-klik-boom... I got my self a front shoulders + quads pump day.
Well, I got a pump. Finally.
I also had a recovery banana, I called her "Lil' bitch Bonnie" and devoured her like a pissed off chimp when I walked away from my ½ shit work out.

Oh well, sometimes you have to fail to feel the glory on other days...

Aargh.

At least our son has had a fun week end. I spent most of it in first aid classes freshening up on my skills and knowledge :) Little man kept pushing and kicking and listening to his mom go on and on about "the real world of accidents and near death stuff"... :)

27 weeks preg. About 65kg.

27 weeks preg. 12 weeks of kicks in my belly... still more to come ;)

8 days of Rest

So...
I rested for 8 days.
Huh.

Tonight I had my first gym work out: shoulders and hams.

It went ok. I didn't get a good pump or anything but I did some poses and noticed that I need to STRETCH more if I want my muscles to flex RIGHT! :)

26 weeks pregnant and no pump! But my belly looks bigger...

One year from now I'm sure I'll be smiling :) ...and NO MORE belly! :D

Oh, and bigger muscles, YES!
