22 Weeks!

I am so thrilled to be 22 weeks pregnant!! Just a few weeks ago I didn't know if we'd make it this far. We only have two weeks to go to viability! 🙏🙏 

Right now I don't have any cravings, but my nausea is completely gone, so my appetite is back. I literally gained three pounds last week... I definitely need to slow it down on the cookies. We've been home for the shutdown since March 13th, so having 24/7 access to my cookies and sweets has definitely NOT been helping my healthy pregnancy goals. 

My subchorionic hemorrhage seems to have slowed down recently. I'm not cramping or as uncomfortable as I was a few weeks ago. I definitely feel like the daily magnesium helps, if I don't drink my natural calm in the morning I am sore by 1:00 or 2:00. 

Samuel is still a very active baby! There are times that he kicks me so hard that it tickles and I laugh out loud. I tend to wake up every morning at about 2:30 to go to the bathroom, and some mornings he is so active, bouncing about that I can't get back to sleep until about 4:00. My nickname for him should be JB, because he is my little jumping bean!!

Keto 2022 Style

 So I spent most of 2022 saying "I'm starting keto this week..." and like, never. actually. starting.  It is really hard for me to give up indulgences. It was really hard for me to just start. I was at a pretty high weight all summer, and yet I couldn't give up the treats to just cut back or lose a few pounds. It is really hard for me to do that.  So how did I start again? And why did it take? I have NO idea. I don't really even remember how long ago I started? A Sunday? I don't know. I do know HOW I started.  I ate: 2 hard boiled eggs, a salad with grilled chicken and a low sugar yogurt, a Sargento snack pack for snack and a low carb dinner. I ate the exact same thing the next day. I resolved  myself to absolutely NO cheating, because sugar causes a desire for more sugar. Sugar in me triggers inflammation, which wants more sugar to feel better.  I also cut out gluten. Which I think has had such a significant impact on my progress.  This week a day for...

Sunday thoughts

  Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Isaiah 1:27 find this quote to really correlates what's going on in the world today where people are turning away from religion and yet still pointing fingers. They're blaming the immigrants they're blaming the people who are separated from their kids and that they're not loving them the way that God has taught us to love people and I just wish that God would surely bring his spirit and his grace
