Woof!! What a week! Last week, my actual 18th week, was not too bad though. Actually, I was really feeling great! My morning sickness is pretty much over and I was able to eat good, hearty meals at last. I had my monthly OB appointment, where they said they were happy to see I was …
So, this post is a little late… it’s actually for last week, even though I’m posting it in a new week, lol. Made it to 16 weeks and Christmas! Our holidays have been so busy…so tough this year to get everything done (in fact, I haven’t). Some things, I’ve just gotta let go, like not …
The holidays are here! It’s been a whirlwind of Christmas parties, rushed shopping, hurried baking…it feels like it was just yesterday that it was Thanksgiving! I just decorated our Christmas tree and addressed the Christmas cards today, here, a week out from Christmas, lol. I’m probably gonna just leave the tree up until mid-January so …
This first week back at home has been really nice. I didn’t realize how I had taken for granted a 10 minute commute to work, or being in a real bed, or even just the cafeteria at my workplace. I feel so thankful to be back! And wow, this week was a big week! I …
Another week down, whew! And, good news- I made it to my second trimester! Slowly, slowly I am starting to feel more human again. I am getting a little more energy, day by day. I still have terrible bouts of nausea and morning sickness, but it is mercifully starting to ease up. In other good …
As promised, a mid-week foodie post! Last Thursday, for Thanksgiving dinner, I made and took a cherry cheesecake! It, thankfully and mercifully, smelled delicious while cooking, of cinnamon and vanilla. Cheesecakes are hard work. I used a basic New York Cheesecake recipe, and its never the combining of ingredients that’s too difficult. It’s what happens …
12 weeks down, one more week in my first trimester! I gotta be honest, I will be excited to (hopefully) see this morning sickness go bye-bye. All in all, this week was a little bit easier, but of course, naturally today would be the toughest! Here’s my week 12 picture, no chalkboard because I am …
As promised, here’s my first of the weekly posts! Ready? Remember the picture of me at 4 weeks? Here’s me at 11 weeks… See that little belly that’s beginning? This is us, after a month and a half of morning sickness, exhaustion, and not working out. Shockingly, I weight a lot less than I did …
Can you keep a little secret? What about a big one? Ok, here it is… We’re pregnant!! That’s our little Gummy Bear, above, at 8 1/2 weeks. Isn’t he or she super cute?! We’re still asking y’all to keep it (sort of) a secret (mostly just keep it off facebook until I can announce it!). …
Sooo glad this week’s over. Still not looking forward to next week, though. I’m just ready to fast forward through this phase and suddenly, it’s December! And then I can come home with hubby again! I can’t believe it will be that long until we’re back together; it seems so far away 🙁 Honestly, I …
