Last week we scheduled our ultrasound and I can't wait to find out if we're having a boy or girl and see their cute little faces since we get to have one of those nifty 4D ultrasounds! Now that I've gotten a little further into the 2nd trimester and am feeling a little more human again, I thought I'd share some of the things that have saved me thus far in this pregnancy.
- Sweatpants! -- My mom bought me a couple pairs of cute calf-length sweatpants that I could wear into public without being totally embarrassed. They've been a lifesaver on those days when the maternity jeans just aren't going to cut it.
- Bagels and Yogurt -- I know you're thinking "yup she's pregnant..." but I don't mean together or necessarily at the same time. My typical list of breakfast foods, sausage, eggs, cereal, etc, have been on the "no-no" list for quite some time and I was always at a loss for what to eat for breakfast. Then I realized yogurt didn't make me sick if I bought the Key Lime flavored stuff. Then a little bit after that I was craving a bagel and once again realized I could eat those all day with a little cream cheese! Life savers! And of course, on the menu almost daily :)
- Campbell's Chunky Soup -- The baked potato kind to be exact. Similarly to the breakfast dilemma, I suddenly found myself unable to eat typical lunch items. While I don't exactly want to eat soup every day, we have started keeping it around for days when I'm just not feeling like making anything complicated.
- Netflix -- It's kind of silly that this has been such a big thing for me lately, but being able to set my 3 year old down to watch a show while I lay down to regain some energy has been amazing. Let me say it again, a 3 year old calmly sitting and completely occupied for a minimum of 30 minutes. Need I say more?
- Crafting for other people -- I have this crafting bug, more specifically a sewing bug, and it drives me crazy not knowing if we're having a boy or girl because I don't know what to make! Being able to do projects for other people has kept me busy and happy without making 2 of every thing in a boy and girl theme.
