My husband and I set out on an adventure to find a yoga studio in town and dude, the experience we had…
Ps: I sure miss my yoga peeps back home!

I’ve been getting several DMs asking about the possibility of this child being deaf. It has been the LEAST of my worries. The last thing on the list. It’s probably because I will be prepared if she were to have hearing loss.
Second, I can understand it being such a scary situation but ask yourself this: Will it honestly be the worst thing to happen to your child? I’m not trying to sound degrading but really, in my perspective, there are others out there in this world that have it worse than I do. Have an open mind. My outlook on life has been shaped in so many ways, by my hearing loss growing up, a supportive and loving family for one. Her health is, first and foremost, the most important thing to us as she does have a condition that will keep her under the care by amazing doctors and nurses for quite some time.
Regardless, if she were to have hearing loss, I know she will shine brighter with it than I ever did because of my experiences. Just as she will with her omphalocele defect. She will be loved to the moon and back no matter what.
I am profoundly deaf in both ears, since birth. With no genetics or family history to back up with, it’s something I was born without. Something that’s no fault of anyone’s. And something I’m really proud of, despite all the challenges I’ve faced and still do to this day.
So, there’s a very small chance she would have hearing loss. I do plan on teaching both ASL and speech so she has the best of both worlds. And help make the world a better place for all of us.

Hello 3rd Trimester.
Every week is such a huge milestone. Every kick I feel makes my heart grow bigger.
Feeling and looking like a whale is probably an understatement. Then again not. It’s a constant dance party in my belly at night. I’ve begun to prioritize more sleep over getting up earlier to workout. Exercise in the evening is better for me. Naps at lunch break seems to be my new normal these days. I love soup. Especially my homemade chicken and noodle. Brussel sprouts are officially garbage to Baby Ziggy. My face has been unpredictable but somehow is clearing up. Yet my back continues to look like a leprechaun. Having eggs for breakfast again is a joy. Compression socks are needed these days. My feet hurts. All the time. I think I’m due for a pedicure soon! Epsom salt baths, prenatal adjustments, and therapy are still ways I take care of myself. I’ve gained 22lbs so far. Keep cooking away baby girl. We cannot wait to meet you!
This pregnancy has been an emotional rollercoaster. My last blog wasn’t easy to write about. But I wanted to share our journey in the dark and the light because I’m so grateful to be meeting her soon! I want to thank everyone for their patience, love, and support.
What are YOU grateful for this season?

I remember this day. I was wondering why my snatches felt so off. Soon enough after that, I could barely pick up a barbell out of nowhere.
Then the two pink lines would show up days later. When you’re growing a tiny human, your workout changes for the next 9 months.
Truth is, I’ve missed this lift. Question for the fit mamas out there. How long did it take for you to start slowly getting back to your favorite lifts postpartum?

“I’ll never forget the night my husband came home early from coaching. “You’re home so quick!”, I said. The look on his face gave me a lump in my throat. Then I remembered I recently had blood drawn just a week ago for a genetic screening of the baby.” New on the blog. “My Pregnancy Journey” is live on www.thatdeafgirl.com. Link in bio.
