Al Hamdulilah for this precious gift, praying that Allah continues to bless my family.♥️🙏🏾

May Allah continue to bless you. Cheers to a year filled with peace, prosperity, health, and happiness.

Working out, especially any type of oly movement will forever be my jam. It’s my happy place. Every single time I have done a workout during pregnancy usually within 10-15 minutes my endorphins are on 1000 and I’m reminded why working out brings me so much joy!

What brings you joy?

Did you know March was National Nutrition Month? And to help me find some new healthy items, the team over at @babbleboxxofficial sent over some goodies for me to try. As my due date is getting nearer, exercise and nutrition are two of my main priorities, so I can be prepared for delivery and postpartum.

If you've been here for awhile then you know I am always on the lookout for nutritious options to support me in trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

head on over to the LINK IN MY BIO to check out the products I tried out from @corefoods @drinksoulless @natures_intent_foods and @thesecretnatureoffruit #NNMonthBbXx

My little Angel had a great first game⚾️🙌🏾

We’ve been working on hitting the ball without the T stand and it’s definitely paying off!

I got so excited on his second hit that I stopped recording to cheer, but it was definitely his best yet.

And he got a game ball, great job Ash🎉🎉🎉🎉

Celebrated baby girl with some much love💕

I can’t express how blessed and thankful for all the love from my family and friends.

Baby girl you are so loved. We prayed for you. Ash can’t wait to meet you, he’s super excited to be a big brother. And your coming into one big close knit family.

Let the countdown begin baby girl💖

Ramadan Kareem from my family to yours! It's lite

Ramadan Kareem from my family to yours!

It's literally my favorite time of the year. This is a month that is filled with blessings and the opportunity to get closer to God. Muslims from all over the world use it as a time to self reflect spiritually, spending time with family & loved ones, and increasing your deen.

Though I won't be fasting. I'll be using this time to pray even more, read the entire Quran, learn more about my religion, strengthen my relationship with God, and so much more.

Blessed to see another Ramadan

Praying for a month filled with blessings, smiles, clarity, and peace for anyone who reads this!

Salam

Moment of silence & can I also get a round of appl

Moment of silence & can I also get a round of applause! I am proud of me for working out and staying active during this pregnancy. My first pregnancy, I maybe worked out 5x throughout the entire 5 months then took me about 3 months to even think about working out again. I made a promise to myself to exercise during this pregnancy due to the many benefits of exercising.

I gained over 70 pounds and right now I’ve only gain 35 pounds this pregnancy. Working out thus far has helped me gain less weight and clear my mind. I truly believe it’ll help me with my labor and delivery as well, because believe it or not you need strength/stamina to push that little one out. I also believe it will help with my postpartum recovery as well. I think it’ll help me to combat ppd and also I’ll be itching to get back working out sooner rather than later once cleared.

Staying active and working out looks different for everyone during pregnancy. I’m a huge advocate for listening to your body. If it feels good, keep it up. If it is uncomfortable, stop and consult your doctor.

Oh and last piece of advice, give yourself grace mama, because some days/weeks we just can’t get up, and that’s okay. Your body is going through so many changes and once delivery comes it’s game time.

The way this boys smile melts my heart is something serious.

It was so important for us to make sure we planned a trip with just Papa, before he becomes a big brother. So to capture his first plane ride was priceless. The smiles, him saying that this was the best day ever, and just getting to experience everything through his eyes is such a blessing.

Poppin in to say hey! This mama is finally in th

Poppin in to say hey!

This mama is finally in the home stretch and counting down the days till baby girl is here. I wish I could tell you all that I’m having a blast being preggers, but the truth is I’m not. I’ve never been that person to be like … OMG I love being pregnant. LOL, I just like the outcome lmao.

Although, all praises due to God. I’m really just going with the flow and motions of being pregnant. No serious health concerns. Baby is healthy. I’m eating reallllll goodT. Even though I still feel lonely and get in my feelings at times, I have the best family and friends a girl could ask for. I definitely don’t take that for granted.

And yes, content has been slim to basically none. I’ll pick it up a notch, but I’m choosing lounging on the couch and relaxing more and more these days.

Hope you all have an amazing week!

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC! Anyone else going crazy over this Vanderpump rules drama, because OMGGGGGGGGG!!!

PHOTO DUMP!

Coming into March straight from my babymoon. Actually let's just call it a family moon😝. I think we all needed to get away and I was able to see life through Papa's eyes. His first time on an airplane, rollercoaster, a resort stay … so many first I was able to experience with him.

I spent a lot of time observing him and hubby. Just thanking Almighty for blessing me with such an amazing family. Now that we're back home and I've finally entered the third trimester ... it's time to get lots of rest and prepare for the baby.

Idk how I’m going to get this rest in, but we move.

January flew by and now here we are ... it's the first of the month!

Hello February💕

My girls and I shared our wins/areas of opportunity so far this year and I loved every minute of it.

Having a yearly vision board soiree and keeping one another accountable throughout the year is very important. Hoping that we keep it up and check in with one another at the end of every month.

I'll share a few with you guys here!
WINS

✨ I read a total of 3 books this month. My goal for the year is 12, so definitely hoping to exceed that.

✨I completed a course for my certification, so now all I have to do is take practice exams and pass the test

✨For the month of January, I prayed ALL 5 of my daily prayers. As a Muslim woman this is something that I have struggled with and at my big age, I've finally made it a part of my lifestyle. So, I thank God Almighty.

✨I finally set up my very own @shop.ltk account, slowly but surely coming together. LINK IN BIO, follow me😉

✨Spending more time with Papa and trying to be more present has been a success. We played tag in the house for about 30 minutes and I don't recommend while pregnant because I was sore 2 hours later ... like I could barely walk. SO worth it though!!

Areas of opportunity

✨Working out 3x a week is slim to none. Even if it is just taking a 30 minute walk. I want to stay active during this pregnancy which I have, but I can feel myself slipping.

✨Content was not planned out and created. No photoshoots scheduled. Just going with the flow. I'm blaming it on the pregnancy. Goal is to do a better job at this.

✨Time management/procrastination. Wanting to use my time more wisely, but at the same time giving myself grace because baby girl is growing.

✨Not stepping into my purpose. Still my theme for the year and I know I'm making strides ... but I'm capable of so much more.

Share yours below!!!

Can’t believe I’ll be chasing after two little

Can’t believe I’ll be chasing after two littles this year. In the meantime, watching Ash grow into his own blows my mind. Very thankful🙏🏾

Finally got him to jump into the ball pit this weekend!!

We are moving right along this pregnancy. Workouts

We are moving right along this pregnancy. Workouts are slim to none, but when I get them in … I KILL it🙅🏾‍♀️

**Insert deep caption here**

Haha, I was thinking of a deep caption to write, but I have nothing for y’all … so I’m going to go on a tiny ramble.

I think the first photo basically sums up how life has been this past week. I’m just trying to smile through it. There’s just so much going on because of this pregnancy and the majority of the time I don’t understand it.

I’m lonely af, I’m so used to being busy and on the go … I really don’t remember my last pregnancy being like this. I’m pretty sure I was out and about, but this time is different … I have more responsibilities and a 4-year-old at that.

I know I’m growing a baby and I shouldn’t be too hard on myself but this is weird lol. Workouts are close to none (sad day). Energy levels are non-existent. I barely get anything done most days. Growing a tiny human is a lot more than people can imagine if you haven’t experienced it for yourself. Working on giving myself grace and taking it day by day.

This week I’m going to focus on self-care. Okay, that’s it …. that’s the cap.

P.S. I’ve never experienced a Wednesday that felt like a Monday

Happy Monday babes. Hoping you all had a great wee

Happy Monday babes. Hoping you all had a great weekend.

I am learning to not rush things and to be patient. To just let life be beautiful. To be happy with the present and to appreciate life.✨

Have a blessed week 🦋
