I am so excited for you. I started following you a few months ago and you’ve helped inspire me to write my own food blog. I bought my domain name a couple weeks ago, Healthy Food Mama. I am also pregnant with my 2nd (very early, haven’t had first ultrasound yet). Being a mom is life changing, with all the ios and downs it brings. But more ups! I will also be blogging about parenting 🙂 thank you for being you, I’ve never wrote a blogger before but your authenticity is so refreshing.

Congratulations!! Thanks for the kind comment and goodluck with your blog journey!

Congrats!! I’m pregnant with number 2 due in June! So excited for you! I worked out during both my pregnancies and I feel like it has helped me have easy pregnancies and even better recoveries. I got a lot of maternity clothes from old navy, gap and target. Old navy has great workout clothes in maternity…but I’m 31 weeks now and still wearing my
Normal leggings with maternity tops. I also use burts bees mama butter on my stomach and didn’t get any stretch marks first time around! Excited to read about your journey!
Ali Maffucci
Congrats to you too!! I’ve heard great things about those stores, I’m going to be checking them out! Thank you!

I can’t wait to follow along. I’m a grandma but my two daughters and I love you and we all spiralize so we are excited! I told my daughter a couple of weeks ago I thought you were pregnant because you got a bigger apartment. She said no because of your career. I am so glad I was right.
Ali Maffucci
We haven’t gotten a bigger apartment, but we’re looking!

So happy for you guys Ali! You look radiant and you’ll be a super fit and energetic expecting mommy! I’m looking forward to your mom-to-be style posts (as well as everything pregnancy related), I love your style 🙂 Can’t wait to hear how you felt during the first trimester and how you told Lu (and what was his reaction: was he shocked? elated? 😀
Congrats from the bottom of my heart and so excited to follow you and your little bump along for the coming months as well 🙂 hugs

Congratulations!!! Such wonderful news! Wishing you and Lu all the happiness in the world. Must say "I knew it"…. from the hints 😉 We know you’ll take good care of yourself, your baby and your husband along this journey (you already are). No kids for me so no advice – I’ll just enjoy reading your posts as usual. 🙂

Thank you so much, Cathy!!
