I'm
a little late on my "weekly update", but all for good reason. Rob and I
decided to go on a last hoorah/babymoon trip for the 4th of July. It
was SUCH a treat to escape this AZ heat and spend the week in Cali. le
sigh. if only I could stay until baby arrives. Rob's family also
vacationed in SD, and we were able to spend time with them too. It was
very fun and relaxing and well over-due! And the weather was PERFECT.
Oh man, I just close my eyes and pretend I'm still there. We went to LA
for about a day and a half (did the tourist thing) and spend the
remainder of the time in SD. Stayed at the lovely Dana Hotel and ate
some delicious food. Most notably, "La Playa Taco Shop" had some of the
best mexican food. Rob was obsessed with the Chile Relleno burrito.
I'm gonna try and make that one of these days. One of my favorite parts
of this trip was partaking in a family tradition of Rob's family. On
the way back to AZ, we took a detour through Ramona up to Julian. Made a
pit stop at Dudley's Bakery for some lunch and some loaves of freshly
baked bread. I've enjoyed a piece of Cinnamon Raisin toast with PB&J
with my morning (halfcaff) coffee. Yum yum yum! Of course, the
yumminess doesn't stop there. We stopped at Julian Pie Co. and had a
slice of pie and took some home with us. Apple crumble with caramel
drizzle. O.M.G. Best pie everrrrr (maybe i'm a biased pregnant lady with
a sweet fang) Seriously though, scrum-diddly-umptious. Well worth the
added 2 hours to the trip, man oh man.Needless to say, after a week of over-indulging and laying by the pool/beach, it's safe to say this has been a week of getting back into the groove. We are juicing again, thank goodness. I broke our last juicer somehow, so we invested in what all the kids are raving about. Jack Lalanne's Power Juicer. It's amahhzing (pronounced Um-Ma-Zing). It has been so refreshing to eat better this week, I feel less sluggish and have a boost of energy right after my afternoon juice. I will take any extra energy I can get.
Time to for a belly update!
Baby is the size of a: Cauliflower (14.5 in & 2lbs!)
Total weight gain: 32
Maternity clothes: Oh yes, comfy dresses are the best
Stretch marks? a few on my girls, but my belly is in the clear
Sleep: Still sleeping a good 9-10 hours (with a 1-2 potty breaks)
Best moment this week: Gonna choose last week: R&R in San Diego
Miss Anything? Enjoying a nice, cold margarita (on the rocks, with salt please!) and laying on my tummy
Movement: Yes, yes yes! Best feeling in the world. Her kicks are getting more fierce. Rob was able to feel some strong ones last night before bed.
Food cravings: Pizza (always) Crab legs, but I resisted the urge to spend $50 on a lb, ha. Chocolate flavored Muscle Milk, yum!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Cheezits! (seriously, not cool) The thought of ginger makes me shudder (probably from the 1st trimester of the nausea monster). I put a TEENY bit in our juice yesterday and Rob thought I was crazy for being able to detect it at all. Gross!
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: Feeling pretty good overall, just the usual aches & pains (back aches, swollen feet and fingers) and random fatigue. praying that it's still smooth sailing for the next 12 weeks-ish.
Wedding rings on or off? off. The dude at Costco called me Miss Hegarty and i just had to say "I'll hafta talk to by HUSBAND about that" (he was trying to upsell me) haha, whatev
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy as a clam!
Looking forward to: Lots! Glucose test next week (just wanna get it over with) and Birthing classes at the end of the month. Yay!
Mmk, well that does it for this edition.
Until next time my friends,
baby mama lex
