An easy morning. Toast, and sweet orange marmalade
An artful morning.

A sweet thoughtful surprise from my husband: Prescription for 52 reasons
why I treasure you.
Baking- Teddy bear cookies.
My energy level seems to be returning, slowly. Cravings have started, and I'm continuing to find it harder to brush my teeth without the occasional gagging. Breakfast is simple, -toast with jam, eggs, and maybe a side of bacon or ham. Our daughter; of course is a picky eater. Sometimes she's in the mood for oatmeal, maybe bacon the next, or just plain cereal.
Our pug likes to rest his head on my tummy. -Not yet a big baby bump, but it's become a pillow to rest his soft cuddly cheeks. He did this when I was pregnant with our daughter. He'd fall asleep, and snore on my oh-so-lovely baby bump. -Of course, there were occasional kicks to the head from my daughter resting inside.
So far this pregnancy is much different from my first. My energy level went down suddenly, and I become nauseous without any warning. I'm enjoying my sleep, but at times I still feel like I could use more! We're in need of sunny days-sunny with mild temps, and no snow! They are saying the weather here in Colorado should be sunny, in the mid-'60s for the weekend. I'm looking forward to this.-Windows open, fresh air, and maybe even a picnic outdoors. -How lovely!
My husband has started back up on reading his daddy's books. We first bought this set of books for him during my pregnancy with our daughter. He's been enjoying reading through it and sharing his thoughts on this pregnancy. -It all feels so brand new, and exciting all over again. My next visit to the Dr is on the 27th of this month. I should have more information by then. (An ultrasound, and a little glimpse of this tiny bundle of joy growing inside of me. And maybe even listen to the heartbeat.)
So lately, I'm just hoping this tired feeling will go away soon, and I'm looking forward to sunny days. I'd love to sit out with my daughter; soak up some sun, and dip my toes in her little pool. -I'm just daydreaming, and I'm enjoying it!
Have a lovely weekend blog friends. And a special thank you to my friend Jayne who blogs over at handmadecuties, she's always so thoughtful, and kind. I recently received a family photo album from her. I thought it was the sweetest thing.-Perfect for adding in new pictures of our growing family. Thank you, Jayne.
Welcome new readers, I'm thrilled to have you follow along!
I'm so glad you're feeling well. Early pregnancy is not easy. It's even more difficult when you already have a little one to care for. But it sounds like you're doing better and I'm really happy. I love reading about all the preparations going on there! This baby will be so loved.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, thank you. You are always so kind, and I appreciate that. I'm so happy that I am feeling much better these days. (And I'm also happy that you are as well). I hope that you and your family have a lovely weekend.
DeleteI'm glad you are feeling better. Hopefully you are able to get out and enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteIda, thank you so much. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteOh my gosh I never stopped being tired the whole time I was pregnant! It was tough for me to stay awake after work. I would pretty much go to sleep as soon as I got changed out of my uniform. LOL but I hope there is some relief for you about being so tired!
ReplyDeleteLol, Dina. Oh boy, hopefully I can get my full energy back soon! -I really need it. Thank you. :)
DeleteYou take such good pictures; love them!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get some energy back soon. Maybe the sunshine will help!
Angela, aw thank you. :) You made me smile. I'm hoping it all comes back soon. -And yes the sunshine did help. Thank you!
DeleteI remember the feeling of always being tired. It was so hard because you always feel like you never get enough sleep! I hope you get some energy soon, hopefully the weather this past weekend helped. I'm ready for Spring! Rest easy and enjoy your days. xxo
ReplyDeleteKristy, thank you. We went on a long walk, and it helped out so much. I hear you about being ready for Spring! I'm so ready. I hope you have a beautiful week.
DeleteI've been through six pregnancies and none of them were the same. Two of them I actually hallucinated, mostly during that time between sleeping and waking up in the morning.
ReplyDeleteOnly one pregnancy I was tired the entire time and that was #5. Of course I had four other young children, so I guess that could have been what caused it.
The rest I felt pretty good in the second trimester but then in the last two months I started to feel tired again. I suspect it's the added weight combined with not being able to sleep well. The baby would decide to practice what felt like kickboxing or gymnastics on and off all night.
Hope you are doing well and when you do have those bursts of energy, take it easy or you'll regret it a few hours later.
Great photography!
Nancie, yes I hear they are all different, and this pregnancy is definitely proof of that. :) Thank you for commenting, and sharing your experiences as well. I'm doing much better, I'm starting to get my routine back, and exercising as well. Have a wonderful week. :)
