my sweet sorority sisters threw Kosi & i a Baby Sprinkle (isn't that adorable?!)
unisex decor :)
i think i had about 36 of those cheese cubes and even took some to-go for my boys. we looooove us some cheese.
yes you are, baby Kosi.
heeeey, baby Nat! my niece, Natalie is as obsessed with balloons as Dego.
lil' bit of everything, please.
hard at work making play-doh babies! i told my hostesses i'm not really a game person, buuuut this one ALWAYS always turns out hilarious.
my mom has been referring to baby Kosi as "she" and "her" since we found out we were expecting, haha. i dunno, Mommy... we shall see ;) 
my gorgeous, talented, sisters-in-love. 
grandma Willie! at my age she was already 9 kids in, y'all. she had 12 total and doesn't have to worry about me attempting to break her record :D
opening our unisex gifts.
love you ladies dearly!! grateful for your presence and love. #SkeeWee
i have been eyeing this Skip Hop diaper bag for weeks and snagged it using the Sprinkle gift cards i received! also, the Ergo Infant Carrier Insert (center) is a great newborn item until baby is plump enough to fill out the car seat solo.
gimmie all the compartments!!! 
love everything about this bag, especially the size and and the cuteness factor.
then there's this amazing product taking social media by storm: the Milk Snob 2 in 1 infant car seat / nursing cover. i need it in like 5 more patterns!! this one is Milky Stripe.
holy guacamole. do we really have less than 9 weeks before meeting baby Egwuatu #3!?
#HOW
after the 1st tri time sped up and hasn't stopped since. i am scrambling trying to make sure i finish a couple of projects i'm working on, get my maternity shoots scheduled and done and keeping up with this blog, *taps mic* hello!!! #Ooowee
anyway, check out my 31 week YouTube bumpdate that i filmed this morning after i taught my HIIT class:
all under 10 min! press play ;)
say hello to our little 29 week acorn squash-sized baby! i seriously wish i had done this week by week with the boys. heck, i'm in the grocery store often enough to make it happen. they both now know what the heck acorn squash even is plus i love having hands-on fun with learning when food is involved. who doesn't!? 
so guess what else went down during my 29th week of pregnancy!? Mr. Egwuatu and i celebrated 9 years of marriage together! meeting him on campus at UH back in 2000 happened yesterday. yall hear me? yesterday *sobs uncontrollably* :( anyway, around this time last year we were in Maui frolicking on the beach, but this year we stayed local for a change. not only cause of the current zika threat, but cause of other current financial obligations, a new full-time kindergartener, and because Lord willing, we plan to do it BIG next year for #10 (and take that family Disney vaca before Dego turns 3...CAN NOT WAIT). it's saving season for us. so, we found some local things to do and enjoyed our special day together, just the two of us.
we <gasp> started with a 530am workout, whoop! Sonny joined the #5amWorkoutClub for a day and was front and center for my Barbell Strength class. he is clearly not one of us, haha.
(he was really just taking a quick breather)
"A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance, and tenacity. The order varies for any given year."
can't argue with that. season after season, we come out stronger, wiser, and closer....only by the grace of God.
happy number 9, Milk Dud Sonny. <3
we took our time, laughed, joked, and enjoyed our lifting session together. no rush whatsoever. usually our boys are in the child center so we have to get it in before the time limit is up and the staff comes to hunt us down! this was needed.
and so was this! Sonny found the cutest, yummiest little cafe for our post-workout breakfast.
then we went home to.....REST! oh and clean up our house before hurricanes Chiso & Dego returned.
matchy, matchy! we dined at Caracol for our anniversary dinner. i have been wanting to try this place since my birthday this past April! i was looking for a nice restaurant back then and one of my Lifetime Fitness class members suggested we go there. weeell, Sonny had already made plans so this occasion was perfect for checking it out. our taste buds were in HEAVEN! YUM!
then, it was on to sing and rap our faces off with P. Diddy at his Bad Boy Reunion Tour Concert!!! we don't do concerts often..in fact this was our very first one together! pregnancy narceolpsey didn't take me out and we were literally up and on our feet for most of the performances reminiscing and jamming. great show!
remember this lil' lady!? 
she was born on our anniversary last year and we met her via Skype while in Maui. we are another year older and she is now one. happiest of birthdays, baby Natalie!
basically, September 15th ROCKS ;)
thanks for reading!
this girl right heeeere! my client, Sarita, is knocking on that 3rd trimester door HARD, and still putting it down in the gym both with me and on her own.
aaaaaand, she has fully committed to a vegan diet for her last trimester as well. it can be done and she's doing it!

i opened two gifts this morning. my eyes! by starting each day with a grateful heart you are able to find COUNTLESS blessings from God in this seemingly mundane everyday life. i look for and find them daily.
headphones: Pink Beats
top: Active Faith
crops: Lululemon
sneaks: Nike Roshe Run High in tarp green (2013)
i got these sneaks while i was preggo with Dego (20 months) and they are still fierce! a lot of you think the same! they are great for lifting cause they are nice and flat on the bottom and provide great ankle support.
reason number 444882390029289982 as to why i love group fitness right here. when my class is in the midst of an exercise and the music is blasting and the endorphins are flowing, i sometimes just stop and look across the room and take it all in. it's one of the best feelings ever.
they just want to move! i am so inspired by this group of educators! we get down in the library every single week. they show up to every session not by force, but because they desire to live and be healthier. effort is everything.
bwahahahaha! this tickled me to tears and still does. when mama forgets to bring her snacks while she's out, mama get's a lil' cranky.
happy hump day, ffs!
