Thanks Cass! And I ttly agree girls, I've been so busy with work and being so exhausted that time has just flown by!! I CANNOT believe I'm half way! Viability day is a month away.. Can't wait for that! I have been feeling movement daily now and I looove it, although it's nowhere near what I felt with Jaxon due to the dang anterior placenta.
I have definitely been eating for "two" lately, the holiday season not only makes time fly but has given me an excuse to makes roasts & cookies in excess, haha we've been eating so good lately.
Mirolee, like you I went and bought everything peppermint/chocolate and holiday themed! I got hot cocoa with peppermint sticks, peanut brittle, clementines, and Ferrero Rocher's (my favorite holiday treat!) to name a few!! I am sort of dreading my appt and weigh-in next Thursday, right about now is when I really packed on the pounds last time. I went from 107 to 155 (lost it all too, thank god) but would like to gain less this time around. So after the holidays my New Years resolution will be to eat only good stuff and continue to get closer to God! I've substituted my usual crap food for cheese sticks/cottage chz, Greek yogurt, veggies and dip, tuna etc. But have been indulging in holiday junk since a bit before Thanksgiving lol. Need to whip out my prenatal fitness DVDs again too.
I'm loving the snow and season right now though. Just got the tree up and got Jaxon's lil ornament today. Has his name on one side and "My 1st Christmas in Heaven" on the other.. So pretty, I love it. Also bought solar lights, bulbs, and a garland for the tree we're taking out to him today. I spent hours at Target (WAVES I ttly thought of you when I saw the mess ppl were making everywhere haha!) looking for Christmas stuff and even printed my registry to look at baby stuff, so much fun!!
Now to make some food, of course lol, and finish the tree. Lazy couch and football day here.. Froze my butt off this morning buying Christmas junk in my church heels lol, I'm pooped. Have a wonderful rest of the day girls!
