Coffee Talk

Let's have a little coffee chat. I am actually drinking coffee right now as Michael is climbing all over our living room furniture and watching PBS kids. I wish I had a donut with my coffee but I am really trying to watch what I eat as I hate seeing the scale go up each appointment at the doctor's office.

I've been having a good week so far for eating healthy. I had a great spinach salad at lunch on Monday (from Cafe Milo in Ames- one of my favorite places) and it was so good that I've had salads both Monday night and Tuesday.

I feel like I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping you updated about this pregnancy. I am 27 weeks and I am still feeling pretty good minus some lower back pain. It helps if I wear shoes all the time and if I get some walking in every day. On Monday we had inservice at school and we were sitting on hard chairs all day....wow, I paid for that yesterday. I do a lot of stretching, baths, and laying on a heating a pad and it seems to help.

I just went back into my blog archives (something I really like about my blog when I wonder what I was doing at this time last year or two years ago) and it was at 26 weeks with Michael when my doctor first said my blood pressure was getting high. At my last appointment they said it was perfect and so I hope it stays that way. It would be nice to not have to be worried about having to go on bed rest or anything. I really need to make it all the way to May 17 for my kids at school!!

It's been a busy week so far but hopefully things slow down today. I keep thinking that I am only going to be working two days a week but somehow it keeps turning into more than that! We are headed to the library this morning and then to HyVee for some lunch and groceries. Hopefully Michael and I will both have a nice nap and then we'll head to the park for some playing and walking. My idea of a perfect day! :o)

Have a great Wednesday, everyone!
