Week 23 out of 40 of Pregnancy!

Our baby room is almost done! We need to add artwork, a nursing chair and Drew wants to add some faux exposed beams to the ceiling.

I am still going to Pilates class twice a week. I feel strong, but my balance is not the same! Me and baby are doing great and growing quickly. Once November comes around, I will have OB appointments every two weeks – which means we are definitely in the last half of pregnancy!

Megan and I got a craving for homemade bagels. This recipe is so good our leftovers were gone in under 24 hours! I need to make another batch to make into breakfast sandwiches to have on hand.

Week 22 out of 40 of Pregnancy!

This week is my 31st birthday! The family and Drew are taking me to bottle feed baby kangaroos (known as joey’s), and I couldn’t be more excited. Drew and I want to take photos of the kangaroos for our little joey’s room.

I am starting to think about meal prepping food for the freezer. I envision a freezer full of homemade delicious meals to get Drew I through the first couple weeks once the baby is here. Is there anything better than frozen homemade pizzas? Maybe this Calzone recipe! I am going to make a bunch with different fillings to have on hand.

Week 21 out of 40 of Pregnancy!

We got to see baby again! The anatomy scan was fun for mom and dad, but the technician had a hard time getting good photos of baby because baby kept jumping around! Baby is measuring “perfectly” and has both arms and legs, and a healthy heartbeat.

Drew took me to a French bakery after our appointment, where we bought five different treats. It was the perfect morning.

Salty chips and sour candy have been a weakness this week. Time for a delicious and healthy meal – this Shrimp Creole recipe is both easy and tasty. Avoid Walmart for your shrimp purchases. These shrimps were found to have radioactive chemicals in their meat!

Week 20 out of 40 of Pregnancy!

I can’t believe we are halfway through this pregnancy! I have felt great throughout this whole experience, only dealing with a couple headaches. We heard baby’s heartbeat last week for the first time. Everything sounded healthy and normal. We have our anatomy scan on 10/5. I am excited and nervous for this scan. Excited to see baby again. Nervous to see if there are any issues. Either way, we are counting down the days till we meet our little nugget.

I keep dreaming about Slow Cooker Pepperoncini Pot Roast sliders. The weather is cooling down a little bit and Drew and I are looking forward to the fall season. We want to spend more time hiking in Estes or Lyon with Louie
