Hello friends!! It has been quite a looong time since I've posted but I have no reason why. So much has happened in the last almost 2 months of me not posting!!
As many of you now know, I am pregnant!! Baby Neufeld will be here next march! I am a couple days away from starting the 2nd trimester! I can't believe how fast it's been going by! My first trimester went pretty well! I was pretty nauseous for a month or so but compared to many others, I had it good. The worst part was a quick battle with food poisoning but with my husband and my mother taking care of me, I started feeling better by the next day.
Today I am just over 13 weeks (past 3 months) and I am feeling great! I have started to be able to eat full meals 3 times a day which is great! My craziest "craving" so far has been chicken mcnuggets which I am not proud of. It doesn't help that there is a McDonalds outside my window and the smell sometimes fills the condo making my cravings start up again! Thankfully my husband is good at denying me the luxury of fast food and encourages me to find good food in the house! My second craving has been for yogurt. I don't really like yogurt though. Except for this awesome thick greek yogurt I just bought! yumm! It is the perfect breakfast with granola or fruit!
So far I haven't heard or felt baby yet but hopefully at my midwife appointment next week I will be able to hear the heart beat! My energy levels are picking up which feels great and I am feeling more and more pregnant everyday! My belly is tightening as baby grows but I'm not sure if I am actually "showing yet". I do get up at least once a night to go pee, usually around 4 in the morning. But I can fall back asleep pretty easily so it doesn't bother me too much.
Sleep has been a whole different story. Suddenly about 2 weeks ago my body decided that getting comfortable would be difficult! But with an extra duvet underneath me and an awesome body pillow from a great friend, I have been able to sleep pretty well!!
Joshua is soooo excited for this baby and so am I! He loves to tell me about the things I don't even know are happening! He says my belly is starting to grow with baby a bit! He also has observed that I sway often when walking and standing and that I tend to rub my stomach a lot too! I love it!!
Well I didn't mean for this post to be all about baby because we have so many other things happening too but I will post about those next!!! Happy Friday!!!
Ps. I will be hitting up the MCC Sale tonight and tomorrow in Abbotsford! For those who know what that is, I hope to see you there. For those who don't, the MCC sale is one of the biggest Mennonite fests in our area. There is tons of yummy food! (perfect for a pregnant lady!!) And awesome sales on things at the garage sales, and auctions, and Ten Thousand Villages is there so you can buy things from all around the world. Anyways, I am not describing it well I know, I have only been once I think. But now that I have married into a Mennonite family, it will become a tradition! I know I will see many people I know and also will meet more of my husband's family and friends. http://bc.mcc.org/getinvolved/abbotsford-festival
Okay, bye bye now!!! <3 <3 <3 I'll eat some watermelon and rollkuchen for you tonight ;D
