21 Weeks - Pomegranate

These fruits always make me hungry! Pomegranate is another one of my favorites, but I rarely eat them because they're such a pain in the ass to deal with. C's aunt made a delicious citrus salad for Christmas brunch - oranges, grapefruit, blueberries, and tons and tons of pomegranate seeds. It was amazing. I was really excited when Chobani released their pomegranate yogurt last year, but I actually don't care for it. The seeds give it a weird texture. I like chunks in my yogurt, but not crunch. Anyway.

 

 

 

How far along: 21 weeks

Total weight gain: I think it's still that same 10 pounds

Maternity clothes: Finally broke down and bought two maternity skirts. In the end, it's a good thing that I waited because they were marked down to $25 and then rang up as $15. Score!

Stretch marks: Nope

Sleep: Just the terrible, horrible, no good very bad dreams and the insane discomfort

Best moment of this week: Enjoying the Cannoli that my mom brought me back from NYC.

Miss anything: Beer

Exercise: Running, P90X, Kettlebells. I took the support belt out on Saturday's 11-miler and I think it helped a lot. Hopefully that will keep me running for the next 19 weeks!

Movement: Every night now, always in the same place. Thank you, anterior placenta.

Food cravings: Almond butter and jelly sandwiches. Yum!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Happy or moody most of the time: Well, I was called the "health and fitness police" on one of my mom boards last week, because I responded to an ad about diet pills with some (factual!) information on how the company had gotten into trouble for marketing an energy drink to 4 and 5 year old kids. I didn't take that very well and by the end of the discussion "health and fitness police" had turned into "bitch," so... I guess it depends on perspective. For the record, it was only two or three people who thought I should have kept my mouth shut.

Looking forward to: Painting the room and getting organized. I had one plan but now I'm thinking of going in a different (but very similar!) direction after seeing some pictures of a friend's nursery. I guess it depends on whether I'm willing to steal some ideas or not. I'd also like to finally decide on a name. Well, more accurately - I'd like to agree on a name. I'm decided :)
