Weeks 20-23!!!

Note: It's harder to get pictures "on the exact day" because like I've mentioned before, I'm usually in workout clothes when Tom gets home to take my picture. Sometimes, I try to remember to take them myself...a little more work than just having T do it. Another factor...I worked when I was pregnant with Ruth, so I was "dressed up" every "exact day"...now I have to make sure I'm somewhat presentable for pictures...haha! Oh, well! We're not doing too shabby under the circumstances:).

WEEK 20

Took a trip to Canada for a wedding (all 3 of us). I feel like I traveled well...grateful!

I’ve been wanting KFC…I think because I wanted it with Ruth…not really craving anything in particular. I just wanted some of their crispy chicken…got some on this trip. It was good and will satisfy that desire, but it wasn’t something that I really NEEDED. Not really craving things like I did with Ruth…interesting…

WEEK 21

Tom got to feel baby for the first time today 8/13/15! Very special! 

We asked Ruth what she thought we should name the baby tonight. She said, “B-I-N-G-O”...a pretty good suggestion!

Still working out pretty hard…although having to cut back some. Was able to do both a kickboxing and hip hop class at our local women's "gym". Grateful! Felt good!

I was tired this week...I just feel like I’m dragging my feet and have little to no energy. Ruth hasn't been feeling well this week...could be why I'm tired. 

I feel like I’m carrying a lot of weight.

Brussel sprouts…I ate some this week, but they still don’t sound appealing, and I don’t enjoy them like I used to. Had these the night I started feeling icky...haven't enjoy them since. 

Local ice cream place still doesn't sound good. 

Coconut oil…the smell and taste don’t appeal to me.

I’m definitely not craving like things like I did with Ruth. There was usually something every week with her.

WEEK 22

That nasty taste was in my mouth this weekend!

Even though I feel better and can eat better, I still find that I “crave” (not super crave, just want) other things…butter and bread, mac’n’cheese, etc.:)...carbs!:)

Sweets are still not too tempting.

WEEK 23

This week, I asked Ruth what she thought we should name the baby. She said, “Chew Chew”:).  “Baby Brother Chew Chew”.

That nasty taste remained. It makes me not want to drink anything.
