Our Weekend and a Tiny Pregnancy Update

My mind is all over the place lately.  My neighbor texted me this morning and asked what we had going on this Monday morning.  I said “I’m trying to focus and work on about a million projects.”  She said “Focus?  What’s that?” Haha, exactly!  If I wasn’t expecting, I think I’d over-do it on coffee today.

At least our weekend was productive!  We spent a lot of time working in the yard and made a couple of home decor decisions.  Home improvements are always so rewarding.

I am not planning to do bump/pregnancy updates, but I did snap a picture before running errands on Friday.  I looked rough, but this does show my bump.  This is kind of an embarrassing picture…keeping it real around here!  I was 15 weeks on Friday. And this is deceiving – by the time I go to bed, I look huge!

We will find out if we are having a boy or girl in a few weeks!  Eek!

Though I still have some “morning” aka afternoon/night sickness, I am feeling much more energetic lately!  I am not craving my typical diet, but I have loved salads lately.  And I have been buying and eating fruit in bulk.

We’ve been eating fewer grains and dairy, but I’ve had some days when I just couldn’t do that.  If I’m nauseous, sometimes vegetables and chicken just won’t cut it.  I rarely eat dairy, unless burrata is an option, and I haven’t been cooking with any butter – baby steps! I’ve also tried making some paleo alternatives to foods we love.  I will post those recipes and details later this week.

Todd brought home these flowers the other day, just because!

On Saturday, we were finally able to celebrate my sweet sister-in-law, Ginna.  She turned 30 recently, so Davis and I made her a “29 Again” cake!  I wish we had gotten a picture while we were out with them!

That’s all for now!  I’m off to work on that never-ending to-do list, and do my best to make this my Monday mantra.
