early pregnancy weight loss normal | Biscuit Love

early pregnancy weight loss normal

When we first became parents, I read a lot about the importance of continuing to date your husband (even writing about it here). Weekly if possible. In theory, I think this is a fantastic idea, but our reality never seems to measure up to that standard.

 

Daniel and I have had plenty of time to date (10+years if you include our dating years), so we dont feel too guilty when current dates tend to lean more toward "family" dates. Part of that has been changing our expectations and being ok with this. More often than not our alone dates include a bowl of ice cream and Netflix. I think you just do what you have to do and dont get hung up on a date being leaving your house, without kids. I mean, we even took our kids on our recent 13th anniversary trip.

But if we have the opportunity to go out, sans kids, we try to jump on it. Holidays tend to work in our favor in this regard. Our family loves the chance to hang out with our boys and who are we to turn down free baby sitting?

Most recently we were able to sneak off on a brunch and furniture shopping date. We left our boys with Daniels sister and headed out to grab breakfast for lunch (my fave). We had initially planned to go to The Pancake Pantry but the line was wrapped around the outside of the building (and it was raining). So instead we found ourselves wandering over to the Gulch for a little Biscuit Love.

Biscuit Love also had a wait, but if you were willing to sit at the bar (we were, we didnt have kids!), you could get in immediately.

According to Nashville Guru, The "East Nasty" and "Southern Benny" were the dishes to get. And they did not disappoint.

Getting away was just what we needed – uninterrupted conversation, followed by time browsing local stores for a new dining table that we are dreaming about.

Our next date may not happen until Easter (hopefully sooner), but until that time we savor these moments together and embrace the days that our dates involve our whole family or just the two of us, on the couch after our kids are in bed.

weight loss early pregnancy no vomiting | Books I Read in 2014

weight loss early pregnancy no vomiting

I have been an avid reader for most of my life. I like that books bring me knowledge, personal growth and entertainment. Since becoming a mother, I dont read as much as I used to but still make the effort to expand my knowledge (beyond surfing the internet). Below are the books read in 2014. You can click on the links to read my reviews over at Goodreads.

January 
1) The Spy Mistress by Jennifer Chiaverini

February
2) Believing God by Beth Moore

March
3) 7: An Expiremental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker
4) French Kids Eat Everything by Karen Le Billon
5) Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins

April
6) Surprised by Motherhood by Lisa-Jo Baker
7) 1000 Gifts by Ann Voskamp

May/June
8) Fearless by Max Lucado
9) The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman

July
10) The Map of True Places by Brunonia Barry

August-November
I attempted to read the following books and just couldnt seem to finish any of them... 
I received a free copy of Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good by Jan Karon and I just couldnt get into it. I dont read a lot of fiction, and when I do it is typically historical fiction, sci-fi or dystopian in nature. This book didnt fit any of those categories and I never was able to commit to reading it.
 
America, Emipire of Liberty byDavid Reynolds was really a fascinating read, but it became unavailable on my Scribd account before I had a chance to finish it. This is one I will try to get a hard copy of some time.

I read the first chapter of And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini courtesy of Goodreads. I really enjoyed it, but was too lazy to get a real copy and I am kind of over reading on digital devices at this point. Several years ago, I really enjoyed reading the Kite Runner and hope to finish this new book by Hoseeini when I get a chance.

I picked up How We Got to Now by Steven Johnson at my local library in an effort to get back into reading actual, tangible books. The premise of this book was fascinating, but the writing style was a bit ADD for me. I ended up rechecking it and made it 2/3rds of the way through, but just couldnt quite finish it.

Another library book I recently picked up was The Innovators by Walter Isaacson. Basically it is about how the internet was developed by a bunch of different people over the course of a couple of hundred years. The book starts out with the Industrial Revolution and the punch cards that allowed weaving looms to become more of an animated process. I love history, and think this book probably has some very interesting tidbits in it. 

I just cant seem to make it very far in books these days. Maybe the pregnancy is taking its toll on my love or reading, or maybe my lack of desire to read stems from too many small bites of information that the internet provides. Whatever the issue, I hope I make it through more books in 2015.

December
11) Divergent by Veronica Roth. Hands down the best book I read this year... i finished it in 3 days. Maybe it will motivate me to start reading again.
  
If you are interested, here is what I have read over the last 5 years: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

weight loss during pregnancy in urdu | Cabin Fever

weight loss during pregnancy in urdu

Following the excitement of my 2 nights in the hospital, our entire little family came down with a stomach bug that has been going around. Jack and I lucked out with a 12 hour version while Daniel was out for a week. According to Daniels doctor, our entire neighborhood was sick. On top of that I was supposed to rest for the week after my hospital stay and then we had the recent winter storm. All in all, I was basically stuck at our house for the last 11 days and starting to go a little stir crazy.

After the sign off from my doctor, I have been anxious to return to life as usual, while still taking it easy. So even though the trees were covered with ice and the temps were in the teens, Jack and I were determined to get out of the house (Jack specifically asked to go dig dinosaurs).

We started the day with pancakes (its Pancake Day after all). Then made the trip to town so that I could work out. I have been missing my time at the Y – both the social and physical aspects. Note to the college-age childcare workers: If you havent seen a pregnant woman in almost two weeks, dont tell her that she "got huge since the last time you saw her."

We rounded out our afternoon with a visit to the Creative Discovery Museum so that Jack could "dig dinosaurs." Besides digging he got to touch a live corn snake. He was very fascinated by this experience. This was a good day and Im hoping I didnt overdo it.

1) Think Like a Freak by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
2) David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell
3) Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Five Days at Memorial by Sheri Fink – I made it about a quarter of the way through. It was just too heavy of reading, especially when I was in the middle of my own pre-term labor hospital stay. I may try it again later this year.

4) Arena Mode by Blake Northcott

6) The Atlantis Gene by A.G. Riddle

10) Silent Tears: A Journey of Hope in a Chinese Orphanage by Kay Bratt 

Currently Reading:  
How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiousity and the Hidden Power of Character by Paul Tough 
I am really enjoying this book, though I havent had as much time to devote to it as I would like. My goal is to finish this soon and to improve on my reading habits in 2016. This year was a slow year of reading for me. I have missed reading books and need to get my hands on some actual books – I tend to read more voraciously when I have something besides technology in my hands... 

What books did you read this year that you would recommend? I prefer non-fiction, but enjoy a good sci-fi, dystopia or historical fiction on occasion. 
  
Books Ive read over the years: 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 |2014

weight loss in pregnancy in urdu | Baby Update 31 Weeks

weight loss in pregnancy in urdu

Due to my increased risks with this pregnancy, I am going to be writing weekly updates for my benefit and for family and friends who want to know how things are going. I am incredibly grateful to have another week under my belt and that baby is sitting tight for now.

 Baby #2, 31 Weeks

To kick off this week, we all got a stomach bug (thankfully it only affected me for 12 hours). I just need to catch a break with this pregnancy! Yesterday I went to my post-hospital, follow-up visit with my OB and received some good news. My belly size (fundal height) and the amount of amniotic fluid in my belly have not increased in the last 7 days. This is encouraging since the last few visits have shown significant growth. My fundal height is currently 36cm and the amniotic fluid is 25cm. Both of these measurements keep me in the category of having Polyhydramnios but it is not progressing at this point.

Baby #2, 31 Week Ultrasound

  
As anyone who has googled symptoms of illnesses knows, the internet can be a scary place and Polyhydramnios has some frightening potential complications. Thankfully my doctor put to rest a lot of my concerns  – like explaining why cord prolapse is unlikely to happen to me. She is very pragmatic and used my pregnancy with Jack to remind me that I carried him to term and therefore my body has proven it has a strong uterus. I am currently not on any restrictions, I just need to listen to my body. As for the ongoing Braxton Hicks contractions, well they are going to keep happening. Its just a part of this pregnancy. Next week I will see my high-risk OB for her assessment. It looks like I will be having weekly follow up visits with both doctors until this baby comes. We are praying Baby #2 stays put for the entire 40 weeks, but we would be thrilled with a little more time in utero!

Comparison: Pregnant with Jack, 31 Weeks
