WOW What a weekend! Simply amazing! A.) I was in NY. B.) I was surrounded by the most amazing women ever and C.) I received some very happy, hopeful news but more on that in a bit… promise! :)

Sorry I didn’t post during the conference. I was hoping to get at least an inspiring quote published but it just didn’t happen. I was soaking up every possible moment that I could. Friday started with the BlogHer 5K and had a blast running and chatting with TrainerMomma. After a wonderful time networking and attending sessions at the conference I ended my day at a cocktail party with some amazing food bloggers, including the unbelievable Ree and Jaden. Yea… I felt a wee bit out of my league but it was an awesome time. Afterwards Sahar (from FatFighter.TV) and I walked around the city soaking in the amazing New York energy.

Saturday was more of the same awesome-ness (have I used that word enough?) with a bit more pressure mixed in. It was my day to present. The topic? Fitness Blogging – Motivate Yourself and Your Readers which is something I’m not only passionate about but have been doing for 5 years now. I was confident but nervous. Who isn’t when they are about to moderate a panel in front of a room full of people?

I’m happy to say it went well. The audience seemed interested, there were lots of great questions and I don’t think many people walked out. Always a good sign. :) If you are interested in the discussion we had click here to check out the transcript on the BlogHer web site.

After the presentation I chatted with a few folks and had a really great conversation with Lorrie. This is the second BlogHer were we’ve been able to hang out. She is totally… yup you guessed it… awesome!

By 4 o’clock I was done. FINISHED. Wiped out. I ended up skipping the end of the conference and chilling in my room for a bit. Then my friend Jen and I (in the picture above with me) decided to hit the town.

We really wanted to see a show so we walked to Times Square. There’s Jen checking out the tkts board. See her? Waaaaaaay over there? ;)

We decided on The Adam’s Family and purchased tickets from a “broker”. At least that’s what he called himself. Regardless, he was an absolute trip!

I did wear a cute dress for our night out and I have to admit they are getting more and more comfortable. And I don’t mean physically, I mean mentally. I’m trying to break out of my typical jeans and t-shirt look. I think it’s about time.

Since we were all dressed up, had tickets to the show and an hour to spare, we went out for sushi at Blue Fin. A-mazing!

On the walk to the theater we jokingly oogled some cheesecake.

Then it was time for the show.

Afterwards we met up with Lorrie again and hung out at a bar for a few hours sipping sangria and chatting.

We then strolled back to the Hilton and hit the CheezburgHER party for a bit. We were both hungry and enjoyed our midnight snack guilt free.

It was a late night but I still woke up bright and early for my training run. I met Kath, Jess, Caronae, Tina and Tara in the lobby and we hit the Central park loop for 6 miles. Here’s a picture Jess, Tina and I on a water break thanks to Kath.

I didn’t get a chart from the Nike+ (long story) but I took this sweaty picture as “proof.” :)

*sigh* OK.. on to this “Blissfully Beaming” part. A few minutes after that picture was taken I took a pregnancy test on a whim. I was a few days late, not really worried about it but curious. I have been back and forth on this baby thing over and over in my head but I just couldn’t shake the nagging little voice that’s been telling me it’s the right time.

You may or may not know of my miscarriage earlier this year but that was more devastating to me then I really wanted to admit. Every pregnant women I’ve seen has almost brought me to tears. Every baby, a sad smile.

I’m happy to say the test was positive. HOWEVER, I am not getting my hopes up and I’m trying really hard not to think about it. Almost impossible, I know.. but doable. Last time I was so worked up and I tried so hard to keep it a secret it stressed me out. You may think I’m crazy for announcing this on the blog so early but whatever happens, I’m going to spill my guts anyway so I decided to do it sooner rather then later.

Wow I think I’m speechless now. What do you possible talk about after you tell everyone you’ve had a positive pregnancy test but you don’t really want to talk about it just quite yet?

I know! how about the fact that after this crazy, amazing, EXAHAUSTING weekend I am in no way ready to start the work week. Oh! and it’s not just any work week but my LAST work week. That’s right… 5 little days are all that’s between me and complete professional freedom.

WOW

I can hardly believe it myself. Actually, I can hardly believe anything I wrote in this post.

Today I am full of peace, gratitude and happiness.

    Looks like you had quite an eventful weekend — congrats! I’m guessing you’ll need extra help with Fitbloggin’ 11. Let me know what I can do from down here.

  • Cassie

    Roni, I’ve followed your blog for 3 years and I don’t think I’ve ever commented, but felt so compelled this time. I had a miscarriage while trying to conceive our first baby and it was overwhelmingly devastating. It made the prospect of actually getting pregnant so much more scary because I was so fearful that it might be taken away. When we did get pregnant with our son, I was halfway through my pregnancy before I could allow myself to enjoy it and accept that it was actually going to happen. That being the case, I just wanted to say that I can imagine the mixture of emotions you’re feeling right now (with hormones thrown in too). I know you aren’t asking, but my best advice is to feel what you feel and be fully present in the moment. At this moment you are pregnant! Big congratulations to you and prayers for a wonderful prenancy!

  • http://darnfitness.wordpress.com Reinaldo

    I just got a family member, really worried, asking me why just kept on saying outloud “Oh… Oohhh…. OOOhhhhh…. OOOHHH…. OOOOOOHHHHH!!!!” in front of the computer. OK, I’m going to go your way on this. I know you don’t wanna talk about it, so I wont go all ballons falling from the ceiling and say CONGRATULATIONS RONI, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU I’ll just keep my best poker face, and ask you if this, uhm HAPPY news will somehow change your marathon training schedule. Because really, I mean, well, you know.
    I’ll do my best to create an energy ball in every night’s meditation session and then send it flying up to the north =)

    What an amazing weekend…we are SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY for you guys :) We have to plan dinner again soon!

  • Tamara

    Congrats Roni! No matter what the outcome, your honesty and openness is inspirational to all who follow you and we are are all behind you! Many blessings and well wishes to you in these coming weeks and months.

  • http://www.thinspiredblog.com Lara (Thinspired)

    Oh my goodness! I am so thrilled for you, Roni! I will keep you in my thoughts and send nothing but positive thoughts your way for a healthy, happy pregnancy! Your previous post about your ordeal earlier this year still sticks in my mind, and I am overjoyed that you have more happiness in your life again :)

  • Tiger G

    I’m such a sap! I’m crying tears of joy for you (possibly it’s my own pregnancy hormones) but I’ve been thinking about you ever since I read the news a few months ago and I’m so so so happy for you. Ok, now that I let that out, I will pretend to not know about it for 12 more weeks.

  • http://kyree90.wordpress.com/ Arlene

    That’s great news … and it sounds like you had a fantastic time at the conference.

  • http://incrementalimprovements.blogspot.com Tish

    what a great post with a super wonderful surprise ending. I’m so happy for you. BTY, that first picture of you two–you look amazing. LOVE the haircut!

  • http://www.debcadovius.blogspot.com Deb Cadovius

    I too have followed your blog for what seems like forever and I rarely comment but this time I wanted to! I am so delighted for you. I have no idea the emotions you must be feeling but I’m going to constantly pray that you and your family get to see this baby enter the world 9 months from now! :-) *hugs* from Hawaii!!!

  • http://www.supersana.com Sana

    I am so proud of you for sharing your life with us. Congrats again and much bloggy love!

  • Lorraine

    I think about you everyday and something made me come here and read the good news. I told you about 3 years ago to have 2 kids and I cant wait to hear the journey.
    Mine are 11 and 13 and I’m on my own and my kids are my greatest accomplishment in my life.
    Ryan deserves a sibling and this is going to complete your family. I’m so glad you are pregnant it’s the best thing in the world. Enjoy this special time like you did with the weight loss.
    I love you Roni even though I never met you..
    PS I’m doing great as well..up about 5 1bs buts I’m very happy with my choices I’ve made in my life.

  • Sheri J

    OH! WOW! What a wonderful post… but how was the musical?

  • Nadine

    Fabulous news, Roni. I’d say look forward and try not to worry, but I know it won’t help. Thanks for the recap. I’d say the ONLY negative thing about BlogHer was that all the blogs I read went quiet all weekend cause everyone was sooooo busy :-( — LOL!

  • http://tntbean.blogspot.com Xenia

    Congratulations, Roni! Best wishes to you and your family. Take care.

    Here’s to a fabulous and healthy pregnancy, Roni!

  • http://jjc537.wordpress.com/ Jenna

    I’ve suffered through two miscarriages in the past year, so I know the pain and anxious hopefulness that you are feeling. My husband and I aren’t sure if we want to try again or not…in fact, we’re going to a meeting tomorrow night about adoption! God is in charge, I keep telling myself. Congratulations to you and your family. I will be praying for a healthy, complication free pregnancy and delivery!

  • Sue

    So happy for you! Congrats!

    I am so happy for you Roni – I am sending some good thoughts your way for a happy healthy pregnancy. You are such an inspiration.

  • http://ronisweigh.com roni

    Sheri – It was ok. I enjoyed the first act very much. The sets were draw dropping but it started to drag in the second.

  • http://ronisweigh.com roni

    OH! and Thank you guys… thank you so so SO much. I’m not trying to fight my happiness… just going with the flow as we all know sometimes things are simply out of your control.

    That being said I am simply glowing this morning. :)

  • http://www.stepthisweigh.blogspot.com Patty

    Congratulations Roni! I think you are smart for letting the word out right away. You should celebrate this moment, not live in fear of what may happen. I am a believer that everything happens for a reason, and we learn from each experience, even the bad/sad ones. You may not see it yet, but after my own miscarriage experience (long after) I did see a “why”: my marriage grew stronger, and I was more certain about adding another child to our family. I do still carry my lost baby in my heart but I no longer hurt, I’m thankful for all s/he gave me. So my hope for you is a happy uneventful pregnancy, and that you too will one day find the answer to “why?”.

    I’ve been lurking as I am on my journey to loose 72 lbs. I had a m/c too between my 2 kids – wishing you the best in the next 9 months.

  • Rebecca

    Roni – I had a miscarriage (10 years ago next month) at 13 weeks. I went on to have two wonderful girls that are now 9 and 5 1/2 that are the light of my life, but I still remember how scared I was to feel excited about the pregnancies. I will never forget that baby, that my husband and I nicknamed ANGEL. We have even talked to the girls about Angel after a family friend miscarried and they wondered where the baby went to. The girls love the fact that their ANGEL is in heaven playing with our two dogs and my husbands best friend (that they adored) that died. I wish you all the luck in the world.

    Hi Roni!!

    I’m so happy for you and your family. I just read about your miscarriage. I’m not sure how I missed that post. I’m sorry you had to go through that heartbreak. I unfortunately know too well the pain as I lost my first pregnancy early on.

    Here’s to you and your family! Only good thoughts and love because you deserve it!! xoxoxo

  • http://www.emergeweightloss.com Susan

    Congrats on the big news! I think it is good that you shared it here — because as I mentioned in your session the other day, even sharing the tough stuff (if God forbid something “should happen”), can help your readers relate and help them through tough times as well…

  • http://www.phoenixrevolution.net Christine

    WOW! What a great trip to NYC! That would have been funny if I ran into you in Times Square this weekend and didn’t even know it! I posted pics of my own NYC adventures on my blog today!

    I am praying hard for you that your test is a real, true, honest-to-goodness POSITIVE and that all goes well and healthy for you. Yes, praying hard.

  • Kelly

    Roni- Not sure how I missed that post back in April.

    You are not alone! My very first pregnancy was ectopic. Thankfully we caught it early enough that no damage was done.
    I just knew that something was wrong. It was hard enough to go through that – I can’t imagine losing a baby later in a pregnancy!
    But when I got pregnant with my son I just knew that everything would be fine.
    If you are feeling great than I’m sure it will all work out well – We are all SO excited for you and can’t wait to follow you on your journey!
    (hugs)

  • Kim

    I am so glad that you had an amazing weekend in NY. You look fab in the dress Roni.

    I am keeping my fingers crossed that this pregnancy will work out just fine. My sister also had a misscarriage around the same time (give or take a few months) as you and has informed me that she is pregnant and feeling amazing (and all is going well).

    Positive thoughts to you and your family.

  • http://Barbdeld@cox.net Barb

    Roni, I will keep your family in my prayers. You deserve the best, you are such a great mom!!

  • http://Www.questionsfordessert.com Krissie

    I wish I could tell you how much hope you have given me today.

    When we had our miscarriage in June, I kept telling myself, “Roni survived this.” although I know people in my life who have had miscarriages, I somehow focused on you as the person who continued to live her life in a meaningful and honest way.

    And now this amazing news? I am thrilled for you. Thrilled. And maybe even thinking about allowing myself to consider the possibility that I may find myself holding two pink lines again.

    I celebrate with you. And send as many healthy mama and baby vibes as possible. (As does Mrs Potato Head.)

  • http://www.freewebs.com/gabimags Jessica

    Congrats Roni! I’m so happy for you! I’m dying to hear how you told your husband…by phone or did you wait till in person to tell him the good news?

  • http://ronisweigh.com roni

    A text with a picture of the positive pregnancy test. How else? ;)

    His response…. “That looks like 2 negative signs. You must be doubly not pregnant.”

    LMAO

  • Melody

    Congratulations!!! It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. I realize I don’t *really* know you in person, but I follow your blogs because there’s just something so relatable about your outlook on life and where you are right now in it.

    Your little guy will make a great big brother and assist you much like my 5 year old does me with the 1 year old baby (I think it’s about the same age gap, maybe?) I find the age difference to be really helpful as they want to teach the younger one and also don’t have as many feelings of jealousy throughout the experience.

    Congratulations indeed! I will hold your family in my prayers that this one is a strong and healthy pregnancy. I believe with all my heart it will be though.

    Hi Roni! Long time reader, very occasional poster. I am thrilled for you! I know how devastating a loss can be myself. My first pregnancy was an ectopic that resulted in a tubal rupture. The pain ran deep. We have our 2 beloved daughters (5 and 7) now, so it all worked out. I hope hope hope the same to you. Will be looking forward to your updates :-)

  • jennifer

    you’re so great .im so glad that you have these blogs.you have helped and continue to help so many people,including me.

  • laurie

    fingers crossed about he baby! i am the same way–have done in vitro several times (worked once, miscarriage several other times) and each time my husband makes me promise not to tell anyone early on and EACH time I announced the BFP the day I took the test!!!! it is just so exciting–i totally understand!!!! :)

  • Laura

    Roni – having had two miscarriages myself, when i found out I was pregnant for the 3rd time I decided I needed the support of every one around me so I told everyone, and I realized it was in God’s hands and whatever happened, happened, and guess what? My baby just turned 9 at the end of May. So congratulations, I am so happy for you…cherish this time!

  • Mehgann

    Like so many others on here, I can relate personally to having a miscarriage. I made the mistake of keeping it a secret for a long time. I have since learned that the support of family and friends was what I needed all along. You are smart to share, because so many people on here want to be a part of your support network! Congratulations!

    Ronni,
    I know, I know, we can’t count our chickens before they hatch, but I’m excited for you anyway. Being eight months pregnant at BlogHer this may sound crazy coming from me, but I can say that I relate. I miscarried right after BlogHer last year, and seeing all this gestating life around me was painful. I believe that you will be a fantastic mother soon enough. Thinking of you and that sassy haircut!

  • http://scrapsofmygeeklife.com Michele McGraw

    So glad we got to ride the train up and back together. Got to spend a little more time chatting. You look gorgeous in the dress!!

    Congrats again on the baby!! See you soon!

  • http://www.toitagain.blogspot.com McLauren84

    So happy for you, Roni! I think it’s really brave for you to share your personal experiences with pregnancy and miscarriage. Lots of women can relate, and they might feel like they’re going through everyone alone. It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there like you do. Best of luck to you!!

  • http://talltara.com/ Tara Anderson

    Oh Roni! Congratulations! Looking forward to following along in your pregnancy & fitness journey. Maybe we can compare notes? ;)

    Roni,
    I’ve been reading your blog for a long time now, just wanted to say congratulations on your pregnancy. Sorry to hear of your miscarriage earlier this year. Thank you for sharing your life with us and letting us share in your accomplishments/joys/sorrows. You are an inspiration to more people than you’ll probably ever know. :)

    D’oh! How’d I miss this one? (I was reading later posts, and going, “Baby? Wha…?” and then frantically scanning back to see where you’d announced it! :-)

    Congratulations!!! I hope and pray that all goes well for you this time.

    congrats to you Roni
    My spouse and I have been trying for 1 1/2 yrs but just can’t seem to get a 2nd bundle of joy. our daughter will be 5 in January and I will be 35. I was hoping to be done w/ having babies by then but I am still hopeful that things will turn out “positive” for us too.
    Congrats and can’t wait to continue to follow your journeys :)
