Healthy Pregnancy

Heard the saying, healthy mom, healthy baby right?  It's true!  Whether you are TTC or pregnant already it's so important to take care of you!  It's SO easy too! You don't have to do this alone either.  It's fun to get your family and friends involved too. Not only for health reasons but for a better living for your future. However if you DO need guidance check out this cool website to get your started.  Baby Bump Meals is an online tool and tips to help with meal plans and your daily nutritional needs.

There is also a ton of information out there.  Our family recently purchased a Breville Juicer this past year and I am totally in love with all the combinations we have come up with so far.  We have always been a smoothie family and I am lucky that the kids are not picky eaters. It sure helps that my husband is a Chef, but I'm proud that the kids paletes are so diverse.

Smoothies are an awesome quick way to get lots of vitamins and antioxidents in. Healthy benefits 100% not to mention fills you up!

 

So go ahead, I challenge you to get healthy!  Enjoy exploring new food items and have fun!

Loved the cuddle time and big sister Callie!  Take care and enjoy him.   I know he is  loved very much already!

Loved his super fine hair!

OH the girns...

His expressions, frowns and flaky skin, just adorable.

Baby Plan: 3 month old Baby Girl

It's no lie, babies grow oh so fast! Especially the first 3 months!  Don't feel alone if you are still sleep deprived.  Your baby will soon start to fall into a better sleep routine pattern and go for longer stretches. That said, this little puddin' was sure fighting sleep during her Sweet Baby Plan session in studio earlier this week ;)  You may remember seeing her newborn photography session back in November.  You can view her session HERE. Oh baby look at you now!  Wriggling, cooing,giggling and a ton of curious expressions. You took everything in.
