Welcome back. It’s the last week of February! I’m so glad this month seemed to go by much faster for me than January did. I’ve been looking forward to the end of February since the middle of December. Why? Because I knew I’d be in the second trimester and starting to feel a little better.

And I am! Today is 14 weeks (and I certainly have popped!). I’m just starting to improve each day. I’ve been off my anti-nausea medication for three days now. I still have a ways to go before I feel “normal” and have my full appetite and energy. But it feels very good to be moving in the right direction. I’m already so anxious for it to be March. And I’m anxious for nicer weather. But it looks like that might not come for a while yet.

It looks like we’ll end the month with a busy week. Today is church, and we are going to a hockey game (probably…we’ll see how I feel). We have milk pick up, Kindermusik, grocery shopping and dance.

I didn’t end up doing much baking last week. It doesn’t look like there will be much time for it this week either. But I do need to make a batch of mayonnaise, gummies and chocolates. Abram has been seeing us eat Valentine’s chocolates every day. And he’s not too happy that he doesn’t get any. So I need to make some he can eat today.

I’m hoping to get some more posts up this week and finish my 2013 updates. Then I can finally move on to 2014!

Have  good week. Eat some good food. I’m using lots of recipes from my site this week. Eet smakelijk!
