New this week: We started getting a few gifts this week and it's really fun to put them in Baby H's room. We ordered our furniture and I can't wait to have it here so I can see this nursery come together.
How I'm feeling: Great! I really can't complain. I still have a ton of energy and am really enjoying my pregnancy so far.
Food: My peanut butter and smoothie obsessions continue. I was telling Kevin last night that I crave a smoothie almost every day, and that is definitely something new for me. I just love a cold icy beverage late in the afternoon to hold me over until dinner time. Here is the recipe that I use:
Laura's Preggo PB/Banana Smoothie:
3/4 cup of 1% milk (or whatever milk you prefer)
1 ripe banana
1 cup of ice cubes
1 tablespoon of peanut butter (I use Simply JIF but have also enjoyed Better N' Peanut Butter in smoothies)
1/2 tablespoon of Nutella
- Stick it all in the blender and blend for about 2 minutes :)
Movement: Getting much stronger. At one point, I was sure this child was breech because I only ever felt him kick very low, but now he's kicking all over my belly so I think he's just swinging around in there throughout the day. It's a pretty cool feeling and I find myself waiting for the next kick all throughout the day now. I was actually surprised to read that babies sleep around 14-18 hours a day in the womb though...crazy.
What I miss: White wine. We had family over for Father's Day and I was sniffing the wine bottles just to get a whiff, haha.
Most looking forward to: We're going on vacation next week to Alex Bay with some of our friends. I'm really looking forward to having a few days off of work and just relaxing. I won't be able to do as many "boat activities" this time, but a few trips on the boat will still be fun for me.
Watch me grow...
