I am so, so thrilled to share this special news with all of you today!

Ryan and I are expecting a little one this August. I am 17 weeks pregnant right now (our due date is August 10) and we could not be more thrilled!!!

Be sure to follow PBFingers on Instagram and Facebook!

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

About Julie

My name is Julie and I am a full-time blogger, new mama, fitness enthusiast (certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor) and food fanatic (mostly healthy... but also not-so-healthy) living in North Carolina with my husband, dog and baby boy. Thank you for visiting Peanut Butter Fingers! I hope you enjoy little glimpses into my life and have fun trying the sweaty workouts I frequently share and making some of my favorite recipes along the way!

    Please post how you work out while pregnant – I am having my second baby in the beginning of October and need some workout tips. I completely gave up working out with my firstborn and do not want to do that again. Thanks and congrats again!!

    Congrats!!! For some reason, I had a feeling over the last few weeks that you were pregnant! Something in your posts made me feel that way…not sure what!

    Wishing you all the best and hope you have a smooth and healthy pregnancy. I’m 36 weeks pregnant right now and have just started actually “feeling pregnant”!
