Healthy Chicks

I’m officially 26+ weeks pregnant, and time is starting to fly! I can’t believe we have only 14 weeks left until we get to meet our sweet little girl. She’s already such big part of our lives (we love her so much!), and I know our life is about to change in a big, big way.

While I don’t agree with the random woman who told me I won’t have a life once baby comes (um, that’s bizarre advice to give someone you don’t even know), I do agree that life as we know it is about to come to a closing. It will be hard, there will be a lot of change, but we’re about to experience a love like never before and for that I am SO excited.

To celebrate being three months from our due date, hubby and I decided to take a much-needed Babymoon getaway to West Palm Beach last week! In this post, I highlight our favorite places to stay, dine and play while vacationing in West Palm.

Getting There

We are suckers for flying JetBlue, so you can imagine my excitement when I found super affordable flights for just $163 each roundtrip from Logan … Read More!

To celebrate Baby Girl coming this summer, hubby and I escaped to West Palm Beach for a Babymoon last week. (You can read all about out trip here!)

It was a totally different kind of vacation since a.) I’m six months pregnant b.) I’m not drinking and c.) I often want to go to bed by 9:30PM. Needless to say, getting some solid relaxation was a must for me, and I don’t know of a better way to relax than being pampered at a spa.

One of our favorite days on the Babymoon was our Spa Day at the PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, a must for anyone babymooning to the Palm Beach area.

Our Treatments

We arrived at the beautiful spa about 30 minutes before our appointments so we could relax and settle in — each going our separate ways to our changing rooms. When I opened my locker to change into my robe, I was greeted with a sweet welcome note and gift!

The full service spa has dozens of treatment options depending on what you’re in the mood for, but I went with a fitting Mommy-to-Be Facial and hubby opted for his … Read More!

Good morning beautiful ladies. Hubby and I are excited to announce that Baby Ski is a…GIRL! We both had an inkling the whole pregnancy that we were having a girl — including some very vivid dreams I had — and our gut feeling was indeed correct.

I am so excited to meet our little girl and officially be promoted to “mom.” If you haven’t already read my second trimester recap, you can do so here!

Speaking of being a mom, today on the blog I’m sharing my 2018 Mother’s Day gift roundup packed with unique, one-of-a-kind gifts for all those special mommas in your life all under $75!… Read More!

Hello beauties! I’m excited to tell you that baby Ski is officially “half baked” — and as long as a banana — as today marks 20 weeks pregnant. These weeks have truly gone by fast, and what people say is true: the 2nd trimester is definitely much more enjoyable (at least compared to the first trimester).

This morning we woke up bright and early for our 20-week anatomy scan and baby is as healthy as can be. We also got to find out the sex of the baby (which we’ll announce soon after we tell family).

Today on the blog, I’m sharing an inside look at the second trimester thus far — including kicks, cravings and everything in between!

FOOD CRAVINGS & AVERSIONS

While I didn’t have many cravings my first trimester since the nausea was intense, I’m now back to loving food again! Once I hit week 16, my appetite kicked it up 1,000 notches. I started craving anything and everything especially cheeseburgers, french fries, pizza, salads and potatoes — all of which I happily enjoyed. In fact, I’ve gone back twice to one of my favorite childhood dives for crinkle-cut fries!

I’m also being sure to … Read More!
