Ish just got real

Source I’ve been back at my mom’s house for a little while, but after spending some time laying on the couch curled into a ball and a delicious lunch out with the fam, I can finally post. Good news on all fronts: Centimeters dilated: 2 % effaced: 80 Next appointment: Tuesday Induction scheduled: Friday morning…

Unseasonable

Thank you so much for the Bella well wishes <3 After a day of snuggling, a bland diet of rice and boiled chicken (she LOVED that) and some Pepcic AC (per the vet’s suggestion), she seems to be back to her Bella self. I loved reading your at-home yoga tips, too- can’t wait to check…

From this to that

Thank you so much for all of the sweet comments on the belly slideshow– it will be a fun thing to look back on. It’s amazing that the belly went from this:   to THIS:   and mad props to lululemon for stretching with me along the way. Yesterday was my original due date. I…

“Om” at home

Someone was up sick all night last night :/   After her canoodle sesh with the Pilot, we all went to bed and she woke up throughout the night. The Pilot took care of her since it’s hard for me to get in and out of bed right now, and this morning she’s walking around…

In the best way

I spoiled my dinner tonight…. in the best way possible. After this afternoon’s acupuncture appointment –which was much-needed. I missed it!- I went to Whole Foods to grab a couple of things and get a smoothie since it was on the way home.   tropical green with mango, kiwi, pineapple, banana, spinach, kale and coconut…

Belly up

Even though sleeping and walking have become daunting tasks in the past week, I’m trying to savor it as much as I possibly can. I’m going to miss the belly- especially the closeness I’ve felt to the baby for the past almost-10 months. Even when I’m missing the kicks and body rolls, it will be…

Breakfast pizza

Two days in a row of seeing the sun rise (it’s amazing what an extra hour or two will give ya in the morning) and this breakfast. I call it breakfast pizza, but it’s more like an unrolled wrap. Same thing 😉 Brown rice tortilla with Dijon spread onto it, 2 eggs, goat cheese, mixed…

Dinner by the bro

As much as I like getting dolled up for a night out, I also appreciate the places where I can wear lululemon and moccasins. For dinner tonight, the Pilot and I went to one of the restaurants at work. Since it’s a health resort, there is an amazing abundance of healthy options. It’s lower on…

Pump it up

Lots of athletic events going down over here for a 40-week pregnant chica. Like a half marathon (or the one-hour walk that felt like one) and an intense swim   (aka the act of flipping from side-to-side whilst in the bathtub. The octopus thing is a thermometer so the water doesn’t get over 100*). You…

Rice investment + a NEW leg burner

I’m pretty sure our rice cooker has paid for itself already. I picked it up at Costco for our housewarming party, and since then, have used it countless times for various grains- it makes beautiful quinoa. Since I busted the mini food chopper making cookie butter, I think it may be my most frequently-used winter…

A different tree

Today was spent running errands and taking down Christmas. I’m usually so bummed to take down our decorations because usually I have no idea where or when I’ll see them again, so it’s pretty amazing that we’ll still be here next year. It wasn’t quite as sad 😉 So it went from this: back to…

Press the pickle button

The “pickle button” is what the pilots call their weapons release button- the one that sends off all of the bombs. It’s also how they refer to their very pregnant wives, as in “no, she hasn’t pickled yet,” “she’s about to pickle,” etc. Nice, huh? (Christmas decorations, it’s so sad to pack you up) So…
