weight gained so far: 17 lbs- YIKES!!!
Belly Button in or out: In

sleep: Now that we're home from our never ending east coast trip I am sleeping on schedule. Night time and one nap a day. There's no place like home!

food cravings: I am hungry all the time- for anything.
looking forward to: I can't believe I'm saying this: Cooler weather. What has happened to me?
Not looking forward to:Eating more protein. The nurse practitioner took one quick look at my diet log and determined that I need more lean protein. She followed that with- "but, if you have to eat bacon and sausage every morning, do it"
She's right. Those types of conversations make me feel satisfied that I switched from an OBGYN to a midwife.

What does bacon and sausage have to do with a midwife? Just wondering ;) and 17lbs is great! I'm sure I was at least at 25 by that point. You really do look awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I feel like a whale or at least a really really big fish :)
ReplyDeleteSorry- That wasn't clear. She's right about eating more protein. Had I stayed with the OB there would have been no opportunity for a conversation like the one we had until something went wrong. I appreciate that she'd require a diet log, take the time to look over it, and hold me accountable to staying healthy.
Oh ok that makes sense! A food log is a great idea for pregnant ladies actually. Bring on the bacon!
DeleteEwwww to bacon! I wish they made protein bread, protein cookies, and protein noodles.
