Good morning. We’re half way through March already! Time sure goes faster when you don’t spend all of your time on the couch. It also helps that the weather is finally changing. It looks like more 40’s this week!
Last week we kept plenty busy. My husband and I even got to go out sans kids for the first time in about six months!! That was a nice treat. I went shopping for spring/summer maternity clothes. My generous family gave me money for Christmas and my birthday so I could enjoy picking out some new clothes. Now I need nice weather so I can wear them. We also had a fun family celebration for my birthday. I did end up making pie. I’m glad I did. We’ve all really enjoyed it.
This week is pretty busy. We have milk pick up. I have a psychologist appointment. I have a prayer friend event with church. We have co-op pick up. I also have a MomBreak meeting.
I *think* I’m finally feeling somewhat normal. Not 100%, but close. 17 weeks was the magic number with my other kids. Today is 17 weeks!! I’m starting to have a bigger appetite finally. In spite of that, I still weigh 2.5 pounds less than when I got pregnant. So I’m doing my best to keep eating. At least I’ve gained 5 pounds back that I had lost. I’m trying to make sure I get enough protein and calcium as the baby’s bones are being formed.
I’m not sure about kitchen projects this week. I have a running list of things I’d like to make when I feel up for it. Maybe I’ll try to cross one or two off this week.
Now on to the menu. We hardly have any meat in the house right now. So it’s hard to plan meals. I’m glad we have co-op pick up this week. I know we’ll get some meat in that order. I need to figure out where we want to order some beef and pork from! I miss having my freezer stocked.
What’s on your menu this week? Eet smakelijk!
