it's not like hit but like it is oh my god it's like one of the hardest workouts I've ever done and it's a lot a lot of core like you're basically doing abs the whole time and I was like I it's just not necessary like I'm really not wanting to do like direct abs like that and twisting and I would have to modify so much so I've really just gone back to weightlifting I did hire a trainer who's actually the girl who used to teach me at former who also weightlifts and

and she's prenatal certified and I have these amazing workouts with her.

My friend Jordan, who's also pregnant with a boy, comes over and we do it together and it's really, really fun.

I've been doing it twice a week.

Can you please walk us through how you found a great doula, struggling to find one?

Everyone I have hired so far

has been a referral.

Like I didn't go on Google.

I didn't search.

Like I just talked to girls who have kids in Austin and I found my doula through a friend who used her and had an amazing experience.

I had a call with her.

We did a, like a zoom.

She was amazing.

Energy was amazing.

And I text her when I have questions.

We haven't started working together super closely yet.

Like we will closer to the time for like breathing classes and

hypnobirth and whatever and she's also a lactation expert which is really cool so i love that she's like an all-in-one queen yeah other people like um night nurses for help at the beginning i found through a referral from my neighbor on my street and she came over and we talked for like two hours and she was amazing so everything has been through referral

Will you be sharing your new pregnancy wardrobe?

There's never any good outfits out there.
