Another week down, another yoga pant wearing grainy selfie!

I mean…. what did you expect? I was even kind enough to not pull all of my hair on top of my head for a sexy topknot. We keep it klassy around here, folks.

This Past Week:

• Obvious the big news here is this baby is a girl! I have two girls! I have to be honest here – I was kind of shocked. I did four different Chinese gender chart things (they were right for Kennedy), all which pointed to boy, the baby’s heartbeat has been at 150 (old wives tale, I know) and I guess everyone else was convinced it was a boy (Greg included). I said on instagram I didn’t have a guess, but I was totally lying. I just hate putting it out there to everyone what my “vibe” is only to be wrong and for people to think I am unhappy with it. Because I’m totally the opposite!
• On that note, I think it’s amazing that Kennedy will have a little sister. Sisters are awesome (shout out to my sister, Christine!) and I think everyone needs a sister. They’ll be closer in age than my sister and I, which makes me even more excited. I know they’ll probably go through phases of hating each other and fighting over who is wearing whose clothes, but sisters usually turn out to be good friends.
• I’ve been feeling a lot of movement lately, but nothing out of control. In our ultrasound yesterday, my nurse explained to me that the cord was situated sort of near my belly button, so if I didn’t feel as much movement, the cord was acting like a little bumper. But I am getting little kicks here and there!
• Heartburn is starting to get bad…. already. Why?!?! I hope it doesn’t get as bad as last time. I had to have a Nexium prescription with Kennedy.
• I am not a big burger/fast food eater but yesterday when we found out it was a girl, I totally wanted to celebrate with Whataburger. If you aren’t from Texas, it’s basically the best Texas burger fast food ever! And it was delicious. Is it just me or does food taste even more amazing while pregnant?
• After telling myself I would boycott the scale, I looked when they weighed me Wednesday at my appointment. I haven’t gained any weight since 16 weeks. I’m also still eating really well, for the most part. You know, besides the Whataburger splurge and girls night at Chuy’s with Katie, Channing, Michelle, and Taylor. No regrets, people. I do not deprive myself. This week during the day for breakfast/lunch/snacks I’ve been enjoying overnight oats, a big helping of fresh fruit (strawberries, grapes, clementines and blueberries), a spinach salad, quinoa, hard boiled eggs, raw almond butter, bananas, carrots, red peppers, and Lara Bars. I’m not limiting myself when it comes to “clean” type foods and I find myself staying fuller and having more energy.
• I’m drinking a ton of lemon/lime water. I’m not super fancy cutting up my own lemons and limes, but just from our lemon/lime juice bottles in the fridge. It’s delicious. And I find myself drinking and peeing so dang much. I guess that’s a good thing! Or am I ruining my teeth enamel? Who knows.
• Overall, I feel pretty good!
