26 Weeks Pregnant



Baby is the size of: AN ACORN SQUASH! (14 inches, 2 pounds)

Baby's Development: Naomi is breathing in and out small amounts of amniotic fluid, which makes absolutely now sense to me, but then again, the whole concept of her being in the womb is beyond my comprehension. Her organs are also practicing for the outside world by absorbing nutrients from the amniotic fluid, breaking down sugars, fats, and proteins to help her grow and thrive. 

Momma Symptoms: Swollen legs, ankles, feet, general discomfort from being a big whale lol

Weight Gain: +24

Random Life Things: Andrew, Henry, and I have been trading off getting sick for the past month or so, and this week it was my turn. I didn't even get out of bed Tuesday I was so miserable. Thankfully it was only a sinus infection, so antibiotics are already helping me feel much better. 'Tis the season for allergies and colds! One of my best friends had her baby girl 5 weeks early this week, which got me thinking. what is Naomi comes early?! I never, for even a moment, entertained that possibility of her coming early. Henry was 2 days late, so I can't even pathom waht it would be like to have girlie before her scheduled due date. They say second babies tend to come sooner, so this gave me the fire I needed to actually get to work on preparing for this child! Contacting HR, getting a long term sub, setting up her room... there is so much to do in just 3 months!

I have had a lot of requests to post a clean eating grocery list. There are a ton you can find on Pinterest or in any paleo book you buy. Here are just the basic things I get on my weekly shopping trip. **Keep in mind with meat, poultry and seafood: look for grass-fed, free-range, or wild-caught. 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)
