18 Weeks Pregnant




 Baby is the size of: AN ARTICHOKE! (5.6 inches, 7-8 ounces)

Baby's Development: Baby is moving and grooving inside, and I can finally feel it! Baby's face has taken shape, but eyes are still sealed shut.

Momma Symptoms: Feeling great this week! Just bigger and slower lol

Weight Gain: +12 lbs

Health and Wellness: I worked out 3x at Orange Theory this week and was super careful about what I ate...still gained two pounds since last week though! Guess baby needs it! 

Random Life Things: I feel like I am finally accepting that I actually need to buy pregnancy things, like a body pillow, maternity jeans and tops, and a more supportive bra (lol). Thank  god for online shopping because I can't imagine the torture of shopping in person, while 12 pounds overweight. On a more exciting note, we have decided to have our Gender Reveal party next weekend! We were having a hard time pinning down a date because everyone is so busy, and we really want both sets of families to be present. I didn't think we would find out until mid-October, so this is such a fun turn of events.

Sometimes I have a hard time finding them, so just do your best!  Meat/Poultry/Seafood: Grass-fed ground beef Chicken drumsticks or thighs Salmon Tilapia Bacon  Dozen Eggs Vegetables: Broccoli Cucumber Zucchini Squash Bell Peppers Jalapeno Brussel Sprouts  Spinach  Leafy lettuce Onion Tomato Avocado Fruits : Green apples Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) Lemon Other: Egg White protein powder Olives Olive oil Coconut oil Coffee Yellow m...

Atomic Habits Bullet Points

 CH 1: 1% analogy- focus small Progress- an ice cube doesn't melt, even when it heats up from 20-31 degrees, that one degree makes a difference, however, the other 11 degrees weren't wasted effort, they were stored progress/potential Plateau of Latent Potential - where most people give up- right on the cusp of success Forget Goals- focus on system instead The goal takes care of itself when the systems are in place Goals met are temporary and at odds with long term progress (yo-yoing)
