Hi there!
These weeks are completely flying this time
around. I feel accomplished just getting
this weekly post up and very much wonder how I ever posted daily. I so appreciate all of you bloggers who post
more than I make a habit of because I really enjoy reading your posts.
Today marks 17 weeks.
Baby is the size of an onion!
Weight: Up
another pound or two for sure.
Appointment is next week. I
wouldn’t dare wear any pants but maternity ones and I’m digging more into my maternity
shirts at this point.
My Body: This
was the week of having a head cold.
YUCK. Last Wednesday I started to
feel it coming on and then it hit hard.
I was really congested Friday to Sunday.
When I got up this morning I finally felt significantly better. Still a bit congested, but I’m almost over
it. So, the cold pretty much dominated
my week. I can’t really judge how I was
feeling this week accurately because basically I felt like my head was in a bag
all week. I got through the work days and
rested as much as a (almost) 18 month year old will let you each night. My husband had a cold too so that was kind of
a bummer for both of us. Sage has just
been sniffling though so I hope it stays that way. On a very happy note, I’ve been feel little
flutters of the baby more! Mostly at
night when I’m lying in bed before sleep or sometimes after a meal. I definitely felt some flutters after eating
a chocolate vegan cupcake. I mean who
wouldn’t do a happy dance about that.
Cravings: This
is the pregnancy of carbs. Is a plate of
spaghetti with a side piece of bread ok for dinner…again? I have been making a valiant effort to eat
more than just carbs though. They are
just what I want. Food in general just
isn’t as appetizing at the moment. Could
be the cold, but it kind of feels like a pregnancy thing too. I made my favorite curry tofu dish with
butternut squash on Sunday night and while it was tasty, it just didn’t do it
for me. Glad Sage loved it though
because I gave him all the leftovers.
Sleep: I could not sleep well being congested all week, but last night I slept 8 hours straight since I was
feeling better. Woohoo!
Best Moments:
Going to toddler gym on Sunday with my husband and Sage. It is just a blast watching Sage play and it
was good for me to be up and about even if I was still recovering a bit from my
cold. We also tried a new-to-us casual Italian
restaurant for dinner on Saturday night and that was fun (and not just because
I got to eat all the carbs). Sage
enjoyed the food as much as my husband and I did and it was a fun family outing. Also, we found out that my sister-in-law is
having a girl and I’m so excited for them!!!
I had to miss the shower because of my cold, but they surprised
everyone. I started out thinking I was
having a girl, but last night I had a dream that the doctor told me it was a
boy. I immediately told me husband, “we
need a name!!!”. We’ve got no name ideas
for a boy because we liked the name Sage so much and never even came up with
something that compared. I promise baby
if you are a boy that we will find a wonderful name for you!
I think that just about sums things up. Let me know if there are any topics you want me
to touch on this pregnancy. I’d like to
get a post on what I eat as a plant-based eater and day-in-the-life posts are
always fun. I swear I will try to get
something more up here soon!
How are you?
Claire's pregnancy was the pregnancy of carbs too. And sugar. Ugh I ate so terribly! But nothing sounded good unless it was carbs. I tried packing lunch a few times with salad or chicken. I could not even eat it!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny about your dream. I wonder what the baby is!
