My Little Bean

I realize that I've slacked a bit on posting lately. There is a good reason for this. You see we found out the other week that I'm pregnant.

The baby's official due date was January 2 but today based on the ultrasound they have moved the due date up to December 30. I'm always a week late though, so I'm not expecting the baby until the end of the first week in January.

As of this morning the baby is 1.3cm long. It had a healthy heartbeat of 143 beats per minute. Everything looks good and is as it should be. The kids were very excited to see the first pictures of their new sibling.

Because of the usual first trimester woes like, nausea, headaches, and needing naps in the afternoon, my time for blogging has gotten to be less. Also my desire for cooking long meals as well as eating them just isn't what it used to be as of right now. There have already been a couple of times where I planned the meals, bought the ingredients, and when the night that I had planned that meal for rolled around I had absolutely no interest in eating it. So while I am still cooking a couple of meals a week from France I am giving into what I really want to eat. Comfort foods that are easy to make. And as of right now things with lots of cheese. For example tonight I am making grilled cheese with pesto and a tomato soup. I couldn't be more thrilled for this meal.

As far as this blog is concerned I will still be posting, but it is only going to be when I have the time and energy to. I'll be trying to do a post a week but it may end up being every other week. I will still be doing my svnseas challenge, but probably not as intensely as before. Such is life and while I'm a little sad about lessening my posts, I think having time to relax and enjoy this pregnancy is more than a decent trade off.

Have a great week.
