Tomorrow I will post a baby bump picture. I took a belly baring one the other day, I just have to get up the courage to tack it up here. I am 35 weeks pregnant today. I have a Dr's apt at 1pm to do my sugar test, but I have been having some pretty bad braxton hicks contractions so I am hoping the Dr will poke around and tell me I am going into labor in 2 weeks. (Oh to dream...) By then I will have had at least one of my baby showers (yes, people planned my baby showers 3 and 2 weeks prior to my due date, and no, I don't want to talk about how much that stresses me out on top of all the other pregnant stresses) and the baby will be 37 weeks, so fully incubated.
Weight tracker for today is (I know everyone loves to know how much a pregnant lady has gained!)
Drum roll please.....
149.6
This puts me at about 24-25 lbs total. This was in fact my goal... but I still have 5 weeks to go, so we will see what happens!
My Corbin was 2 weeks early, and 9lbs 5oz at that time, so I am really hoping this one will follow suit.
More about that later, lets talk about quesadillas (which apparently isn't in my computers dictionary since the word always pops up red??)
My husbands family is all about tortillas. They have Mexican heritage, and apparently have been chowing down on tortillas since his mammas mammas mamma. Its like white people and white bread :) Or something like that. So at my bridal shower I received a tortilla warmer, a rolling pin and a recipe for tortillas. I'm not going to lie. I love tortillas, everything about mexican food, and this little guy.
It's so cute! I use it often. And sometimes when there are not tortillas in it, there are cookies in it.
Shhh...
But I cannot, for the life of me, make em round. I took this picture of one, but this was one of the best ones, after this they just got weirder and weirder looking. I asked for advice and everyone just says practice. At least I get to eat what I practice.
Good thing burritos are rolled..
So I gave my constantly starving 6 year old some dinner right after making these and he polished off 3 with turkey and cheese with a side of broccoli. Man that kid can eat sometimes.Then when I put him to bed I made dinner for me and my husband. He was tattooing at dinner time, so we ate late.
The problem with being almost 9 months pregnant is this is what I cooked up for 2 people... Yes, 2. About a lb of chicken, beans, corn, spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, a MOUND of cheese and a whole pot of tortillas. And yes, this is what I felt like eating.
Unfortunately, the problem with being 9 months pregnant is that it is like having a lap band. I can only eat small meals often. I read articles about ladies being able to polish off an entire pizza or gallon of ice cream. I have yet to do this although again, I have had the desire. I credit my eating abilities to never being much of a eat till I'm stuffed kind of girl prior to this pregnancy and I know that I will be thankful for that when the baby comes out and all the extra weight stays in.
So this is what I actually ate. 2 tortillas filled with chicken, cheese and tons of veggies. Yummm......... It was delicious, but I could barely finish these two.
This is a picture that I poked around at before cooking the tortillas. I make some slammin mexican food, but it sure looks weird.
Why cant my food look like her food!!
Whaaa!
One thing I have not really wanted this pregnancy is ice cream. I have severely craved protein and fruit.
Good baby.
I will be on a quest in a few short weeks (or very looooooong weeks) to be eating healthier and getting back into fighting shape, but I am trying to not to splurge till I pop then go cold turkey. The crappier I eat now, the harder it will be and the longer it will take later. I keep a ton of fruit and no snacks in my house. Sometimes its annoying, as I am sure it is for my boys, but they never complain. But it does make me make smarter choices when I get hungry.
After my dinner all I kept thinking about was this giant bag of frozen blueberries that I bought yesterday. I was DREAMING about them... So I threw 2 cups of frozen blueberries, and 1 banana in a blender with a splash of milk for mixing purposes (this makes 2 servings) and slammed my treat.
I dont know why someone would ever choose ice cream over this frozen creamy cup of deliciousness.
And the best part is no weight gain, no processed sugar, and no ice cream belly afterwards.
Ill take a picture when I make another one tonight, as I am sure I will.
