That's pretty impressive Sunni, you'll drop any post baby weight in no time too. Apparently a big deal to a lot of folks, id not know myself naturally haha.

How are you doing the extra protein? Whey shakes etc energy bars?
i dont use whey since its milk.
i dont buy processed energy bars
i actually dont buy a lot of processed foods at all, i prefer to make my own or avoid at all cost.

i do however make a medjool date , chia seed and hemp heart "granola" bar

i get my protein from lentils, quinoa, hemp hearts, chia seeds, beans , peanut butter, almond butter, organic tofu, tempeh, protein all natural bread, hummus,

so several of these are in all my meals usually, and it adds up on a daily basis to be about 75-90 grams of protein per day just depends on how much of what i have , or how hungry i am.
the hemp hearts and chia seeds are easy to incorporate in salads, breakfast, homemade energy bites, etc.

i typically have almond butter and all natural peanut butter with apples :D

its not hard to get the extra protein because im eating an extra 500 calories per day. so it kinda like evens it out so to speak because those extra calories are the extra proteins lol

i have only gained 14 lbs the entire pregnancy, my jeans pre pregnancy actually still fit except i cant button them (belly too big LOL obviously) , so i think the baby weight will be dropped off pretty easy im pretty much ALL belly. and the rest has stayed the same.

I have been doing light yoga, walks and work outs and some light weight lifting (10 lbs total)

My wife ate wahtever she faniced when she was pregnant, meals the same as me....trick to loosing weight is breast feeding I think. My wife has to actually put on wieght now, lol....and it's only 2 1/2 months into breast feeding. Crazy energy sucking little things babas are.
ya i make a lot of what i want to eat, i dont get too limited. fruit is glorious , sweet potatoes are another crave food for me.
peanut butter is as well
and chocolate :p (my "bad" vice :p )

sounds like a superfood diet. I am no where near as healthy nor will i live as long I 'd wager! I rarely have the time to prepare everything from scratch barring my main meal of the day and even then it's a struggle sometimes..... the call of the take away....

Thank you !!! He was not due till the 10th so I was a bit shocked he came a week early especially since they say first time moms go past their due date usually

Bless. Awesome news to hear on a Mother's days, Sunni. Congratulations to you and your man. Many happy times ahead. Jongen of Meisje?:)
she turned out to be a HE lol :p
we found out at growth scan update, my belly or fundal height measurement was measuring small, so they did a growth scan ultrasound at 36 weeks and found that nothing was wrong but that the anatomy scan we had was wrong about gender :p

so he has a very pink lovely car seat :p
