32 week check-in

So I last left off at week 26. Phew.  It feels like things have changed in a huge and significant way since then, which is odd since it hasn’t really been that long at all. I guess the most important thing I should note is that we are both still healthy and growing, and everything seems to be as it should.  That said, I’m going to back up a bit.  Around week 27, I started noticing I was having pain (similar to menstrual cramping).  At first it wasn’t strong or that bad, and I just… Read more >

For our baby boy

On Saturday, December 8th, Kyle and I were joined by some of our best friends to celebrate our little bundle of joy. In just 8 weeks, he will be here…unless some of our friends’ guesses are correct… His due date is 2/7/13, but I’m a numbers freak, so I’m hoping it’s a multiple of 5.  Unless it’s the 15th.  I have a gut feeling about January 30th, but who knows.  I bet a dollar on it though.  🙂 Our friends also tried to guess his length & weight, as well as his name. I can… Read more >

Elise Lately [IV]

Some people may get sick of leftovers, but I am quite content eating the same thing over and over and over again. Leftovers x a million.     Field Roast wild mushroom quarter loaf.  Roasted veggies.  Quinoa.  Like a never ending Thanksgiving…   Blackberries are NOT good in smoothies.    The seeds.  They’re annoying.  But I still have half a bag of frozen berries in the freezer, so…yeah.  It was a “mixed berries” bag, but I picked out all the strawberries, so it’s just blackberries left.  Gotta do something with that. Kyle was in Arizona last… Read more >

Spicy food is out

We went out to dinner last week.  It’s been cold and rainy in Santa Monica, which calls for real Fall clothes.   Bump peek-a-boo.  Now you see it, now you don’t. We went to True Food Kitchen, an easy choice as it’s within walking distance and the menu accommodates all dietary needs. We shared the kale salad to start (parm on the side).  And I got “the natural” to drink (a sweet ginger fizzy drink). Not wanting to be predictably repetitive, I DIDN’T get the TLT sandwich or the tofu rice bowl, and instead went… Read more >

Weeks 13-26

In all honesty, the majority of the second trimester was awesome.  My energy was much better, I had an appetite for quality food (like my old self!), and I got in a decent amount of regular exercise.  But it definitely had it’s annoying parts, too.  I almost feel like weeks 13 through 26 of pregnancy should be further divided into three parts – the beginning, the middle, and the end – because they were so different.  For me, at least. The beginning. Reaching week 13 of pregnancy was a big deal (even though it really… Read more >
