Snack Ideas

I’m starting to feel the need to snack more throughout the day.  Even though I sometimes crave things like chocolate, I would prefer to have healthy, nutritious snacks. 

I love popcorn, fruit, vegetables and the list goes on.  But, I am kind of getting bored of just a plain piece of fruit.

Any ideas to spice up my snack options? 

What did you enjoy as a snack when you were pregnant?

Week 15

I can’t believe I am already 15 weeks along!  It seemed like the weeks were going by so slow, and then all of the sudden:

Hello week 15!

I have felt so good throughout my entire pregnancy.  A little bit of nausea every so often but not enough to make me sick.  I still don’t “feel” pregnant as much as I think a lot of women do.  I’m just barely starting to show.  I’ve had a few people notice and then I realized, okay, maybe I am growing.  I have to say  my skin seems to be breaking out more, so I guess that is different.    (I’ll take that over morning sickness every day though.) 

Overall, I feel great.  I can’t wait to start feeling the baby move.  Maybe in a few weeks?  And I’m even more excited to find out what we are having!  Week 20 I will have an ultrasound.  My mom and a few friends are guessing that we are having a girl, but I have to say I think they may be wrong.  My husband’s family has 34 years of ALL BOYS!!!  We’ll see….  Either way, we are just so excited and have absolutely no preference one way or another.    

My mom had easy pregnancies and 1 hour labors for my 3 siblings and I.  So, hopefully I will take after her.  Maybe…

Cleaning Day…

Today my mom will be coming to stay with us for a few nights.  I’m looking forward to spending quality time with her.  So, today I am cleaning, organizing, decluttering, etc.  And someone decided to join me.

This is Kya:

I keep my cards and envelopes in this little basket.  I was organizing it when she decided to climb in and take a little snooze.  

She looks kind of mean in this picture but really she’s sweet…just very vocal.

See:

And she loves to chew on cardboard boxes and plastic bags.  Is it just my cat that’s weird enough to do that?

Reading List

Well, nothing like waiting until last minute to complete the first thing on my list of 12 new things.  I have such a long list of books to read that I had a hard time picking.  But, here it is:

                               

September – Shepherding a Child’s Heart by Tedd Tripp

October – The Vaccine Book by Robert W. Sears

November – Womanly Dominion by Mark Chanski

December – Gospel Powered Parenting by William Farley

January – The Christian Childbirth Handbook by Jennifer Vanderlaan & Jan Tritten

February – The Nursing Mother’s Companion by Kathleen Higgins

March – The Ministry of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson

April – Sacred Influence by Gary Thomas

May – The Mom Walk by Sally Clarkson

June – The Cross Centered Life by CJ Mahaney

July – Radical Womanhood by Carolyn McCulley

August – Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron

I’m hoping that I will be able to read many more books than this within a year, but I have a feeling that might not be possible once the baby comes.  So, this is my goal…one a month. 

Has anyone read any of these books or have any other book recommendations for me?
