How's momma feeling: Doing just fine this week. A little tired on Monday:), but I think we're back into the swing of things. I've gotten to walk to work most days this week and that has been refreshing and a good way to start the day. It's been pretty steady at work this week so that has been super nice (and fun!).
Size of baby: She's getting chubbier:)...in the best sense of the word. She's about 1 2/3 - 2 lb. and about 14 inches long (about the size of a scallion).
Cravings: I've been in the mood for Asian food this week...I finally got some Thai food on Wednesday at work. It was so yummy!! I love all the food we get at work...definitely a perk of the job, especially when pregnant!
Aversions: Tomato"y" sauce type stuff has not sounded good this week. And the fishy smell was not enjoyable to me either this week; I can still eat it, but the smell...ick!
Sleep: Trying to catch up from this past weekend but still sleeping pretty soundly. I still get about 8-9 hours a night. It was hard for me to sleep the night we got into Marion (3 a.m. last Saturday morning:))...I think I was just excited for the weekend!!
Exercise: Been mostly at the gym this week...on the stair step and elliptical and watching The Food Network:). I love "Chopped"! There was another pregnant lady in there this week...you go girl! I love looking out and watching for pregnant ladies...is that weird?
Clothes: My amazing cousin gave me lots of maternity clothes when we visited last weekend; I have been enjoying wearing those this week! Dresses, shirts, pants...the real deal! THANKS so much, Cuz!! They're wonderful!
Looking forward to: Organizing and putting everything away from this weekend. There wasn't much time this week to do it, so, hopefully, this weekend we'll get it all done!
Something fun: I'm starting a "mommy" type class this week (I forget what it's called) through a local organization. We meet on random Saturdays, and it's one-on-one. We learn all sorts of stuff...lactation stuff, soothing stuff, labor stuff, bathing stuff, etc. I'm looking forward to it. Also, we're in the nursery this week! Silly, I know, but I just love the little ones at church; it's so much fun to spend time with them!!
FYI: You all are so awesome! Thank you so much for being there for Tom and I this past weekend. We had such a fun weekend...the wedding was beautiful, the showers were perfect, the time with family/exchanging gifts for pasts birthdays/special days/etc. was so special. We wish we would have had more time to chat and catch up as the weekend went by so fast, but we are grateful that we were able to get away a couple of days to see everyone! Know you are all loved!! Thank you for sharing in the joy of our little girl with us!
Thank you, Lord, for: Such a wonderful, blessed time in Indiana/Ohio this past weekend. We have such amazing family and friends who are supporting us in the journey of parenthood. It was so special to see everyone and share our daughter with them. We are so so blessed.
