9 weeks down/7 weeks to go and 31 weeks pregnant! Went to the doctor today and the baby gained 9oz. since last week! Atta boy. I'm feeling pretty good still minus the almost constant reflux. I did figure out that if I eat a bowl of Quaker Oat Squares with milk before bed, I don't have reflux at all. Weird! I'd much rather eat a bowl of cereal than a handful of Tums that are filled with artificial colors and flavors. I wonder if those extra calories right before bed helped the baby put on the weight this week...
Things I'm thankful for today:
elastic
hair bands
comfy yoga pants
flip flops
leftovers
VBS
friends that I can call for help: Katherine to pick up JG from VBS and Nancy to grab us some groceries
plentiful games and books to share with the kids
bottled water (our tastes like dirt right now)
nanny Sarah (loving us, baking muffins for the kids breakfast this week, and going to the store)
game night with Dondi and Keri (including Russo's pizza and many laughs from the Men are from Mars,
Women are from Venus game)
Cravings this week: Nothing special except my usual sweet tooth. Lately I've been trying to satisfy it with either homemade trail mix of almonds and chocolate chips or all natural fruit popsicles. Now that I think more about it, yesterday I did have ice cream and chocolate pound cake cupcakes on the brain. Good thing I can't bake right now or run to the store :)
Thanks Lord for another healthy week filled with loving friends and the joy they bring.
