Ever have a craving for the kid classic PB&J but talk yourself out of it because “carbs are bad?” (Guilty!) Well, after my Indian food fiasco, I’ll never talk myself out of a craving again. Enter the whole wheat wrap:
PB&J really isn’t that bad for you if you’re not using bleached white bread and half a jar of jelly whose first ingredient is high fructose corn syrup. ;-) They can be tricky to find sometimes, but most health food stores have more natural options. You just have to get into the habit of reading the nutritional stats. I added half a banana and some cinnamon to mine (and actually used almond butter this time):
rolled it up and devoured.
Do you know what time it is?
Haha sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
Onto more important stuff: Baby Anderson! J I know that’s why you’re here – its okay. I’ve come to terms with the fact that the baby will now be way more interesting to everyone than I’ll ever be. In a last ditch effort to promote myself instead, here's a little timeline for you:
11 weeks
20 weeks
24 weeks
27 weeks
We had our routine appointment scheduled for Friday, which really worked out because I was hit by the plague Thursday night and wanted to know that everything was okay. Doctor’s report: we’re rolling into the third trimester, everything is fantastic and we’re moving to 2 week appointments! The baby actually measured a lot closer to its gestational age this time. When I saw on the printout that the baby’s head measured 7.15cm, I came home and pulled out my tape measure…and just about fell over. Already?!
Ouch haha.
Ouch haha.
I know many of you are epidural advocates and will tell me why I should get one until you’re blue in the face. I absolutely respect that and your choices. After discussing all of the different birth plan options and past medical experiences/complications, Patrick and I have decided that, while we are open to whatever needs to happen for a healthy baby and Mama, our first choice is to welcome Baby Anderson into the world as naturally as possible.
*This post is not meant to start a debate about childbirth options. We ask that you please respect our choices as parents in the same way that we respect all of yours.* J
What's new lately:
-My belly button is almost gone. I'm not convinced my innie will actually be outted, but what was once a swimming pool is now more like a dimple haha.
-Still having crazy dreams. The latest: Miranda Lambert and I were best friends. While awesome, I don't think its very likely.
-My appetite came back - and I'm sure you can see why! We're popping out like nobody's business. The other day I counted how many people asked me when I was due - I got to 7. I guess there's no denying it? That's okay. I'd rather it be an obvious human baby than a possible food baby.
-Total weight gain so far: 20 pounds.
-Energy levels are still good. I'm hoping this holds out for the move in a few weeks!

I'm off to run some errands and get my pearly whites polished. Have a wonderful day everyone! <3 Shaina
