24 weeks, can you believe it? I can't! Its only 16 weeks to go. Wow!! I really can't believe I have made it this far, there have been moments and days where I felt like I couldn't go on. But here I am, writing about it and realizing time it going by and how quickly it does pass. We take for granted the time we have and just try to get through things to move on to the next. Its my new goal to try to enjoy this experience, after all, it will be the last time I am ever pregnant. So here's to staying optimistic!!
My new goal is to defy the si joint dysfunction, exercise more and try to eat more healthy. I have gained more weight then I wanted and with 16 more weeks to go, that also means I should put on 16 more lbs, a pound a week. I do not wish for that to happen, at least not 16 lbs. I want the baby to gain the weight, not my thighs. So I am going to trying to switch my family, ALL of them, to eating healthier. Not just so I can watch my weight gain but so they all can benefit and be healthier too. Our menu this week consists of more lean mean like grilled chicken, pulled pork. and whole wheat homemade pizza. My goal is to not only eat better but to eat less take out. It appears that a majority of our spare money goes to unhealthy take out...well unless is it sushi and miso soup. I don't think that is ever a waste of money. But it is also my goal to make more scratch made snacks to match my pregnancy cravings like homemade nachos and homemade potato skins.
On another note, our four year old is improving with his speech and development. Though not as much as I personally would like, but baby steps right? As some of you may know, it has been determined that he is on a 2-3 year developmental age level in most things. But as each day passes, I see him improve. We are working mostly on sounding out his words right now. I really wish we could potty train but he isn't ready. When it comes to potty training I have the view of the old saying, You can take a horse to water but you can't make the horse drink. Well this saying definitely applies to our 2 1/2 year old and 4 year old. Speaking of our little princess, as each day passes she becomes more and more defiant and strong willed. But as each day she goes down this path, I also become more strong willed. I can definitely tell you, she inherited this trait from me.
I hope everyone has a great autumn weekend and I hope everyone gets family time together.
