Ok, after a very long break, I'm back! I couldn't bring myself to look at that stack of pancakes picture that I had in my last post. My nausea just wouldn't let me! But I summed up the courage today and went for it! I think I may actually be starting to feel better...major hesitation there, but I am feeling like fewer things set off my gag reflex and it is more tolerable, which is FANTASTIC! Because I just couldn't really function with that feeling all of the time.
So much has happened in the past several months! Not to mention the fact that we are having a baby! It's weird even typing that! Hasn't really sunk in, it's one of those things you dream about your whole life and never really think it could happen to you! It's exciting, nerve wracking and an amazing expirience so far. I am seeing a midwife verses a OB doctor. I am hoping for a low intervention, all natural expirience with a fast recovery! (in my dreams anyways :) I love our midwife, she is super nice and laid back and has had 2 natural deliveries herself, so she can relate.
We have had 2 appointments with her. The first we had an ultrasound and saw the baby! That was crazy!! Then last week we went for our 12 week checkup and heard the heartbeat, 166 beats per minute, so nice and strong! We will go back in 4 weeks and 5 days (but who is counting :) to get the BIG ultrasound and find out what we are having!!! Bryan is hoping for a girl and I'm kind of 1/2 and 1/2. Either one is good, a boy would be perfect for my little nephew Judah to grow up with and a girl would be good too though.
So I hate to cut this short, but there will be more to come! Thanks for checking back :)

Leaning tower of PANCAKES!
Well, I'm up :( It's too early to be up on Sunday, but I have to leave for work at 7, so I have to suck it up and just enjoy it! I decided I needed a reward for getting myself out of bed...Pancakes! :) Spelt Healthy Pancakes from Angela at Ohsheglows.com are fluff and the recipe is for one!
Healthy Spelt Pancakes
1/2 C Spelt Flour
1 t cinnamon
tiny pinch of sea salt
1t baking powder
1/2 T Manitoba Harvest Hemp protein powder (optional)
1/2 C Almond milk
Mix together dry ingredients the night before. In the morning just mix in the milk spoon onto medium hot griddle, use oil or non stick spray.
I added a mashed banana in between the pancakes. They were soooo good! And now I am ready for the day!
Have a good Sunday!

What a day!
Well it all started with a little green, then a run/walk then back home for Vegan Overnight Oats with some banana topping and raw almond butter, yum!
Then it was off to get my oil changed and make a Whole Foods run...my last one that takes 25 minutes!! (Our new apartment is only a few miles away from it!) I needed to pick up some bananas and almond butter and pitas. I found these pitas with carrot and lentil flour and some other stuff too. Seven grams of protein!
Then I went home to eat lunch and go get my hair cut. I haven't had a hair cut in a while so I was looking a little like a disaster. Then I went and got my eyebrows threaded. I found this girl from Iran who does an amazing job. Good brows always makes me smile :)
Then I came home and started in on the project of the week....
I knocked out the storage closet, living room and bathroom. So just the kitchen and bedroom and we'll be well on our way outta here.
It was a very productive day, but I am EXHAUSTED! Time for some dinner and a night of relaxing till Bryan comes home.
I found out yesterday that I have to work at 7:30 am tomorrow. YUCK! But hopefully not too long, we are taking an upgrade on the system and we have to be there to test everything before Monday morning.
Hope you had a wonderful Saturday!

Goodness
Well it's official, I started packing! Good thing I guess, since a week from today we are moving :) It's exciting to start fresh in a new apartment with new carpet and a fireplace!! Wohoo!! Bring on the Fall!!! Hoping that this mini heat wave this weekend is the last of the 100s we see for this year!
Today is going pretty well. I had to train a cardiologist this morning, it's a very good lesson in patience and listening :) It went well though. Then Bryan is off and we are taking a trip to Whole Foods at lunch :) That makes me happy, I love to go there, very relaxing and I just feel good after I leave ...although my bank account can't always say the same!
This morning I had some Vegan Overnight Oats based on the recipe at http://www.ohsheglows.com/.
1/3 C. rolled oats
1 C Almond Milk (I'm sure you could use whatever kind you want)
2T Chia seeds (these make the oatmeal, they absorb all the liquid and really add a TON of good nutrients)
1T Hemp (I add this to pump up the protein)
1 banana mashed (small)
Cinnamon ( I add alot, I LOVE cinnamon)
Whisk all ingredients together, cover and put the the fridge over night. If you really wanna get crazy, freeze a banana and then right before your ready to eat throw it in the food processor and blend till smooth. Then layer that in between layers of the oatmeal. I'm telling you it tastes like dessert for breakfast!
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Refreshed
This morning it was so not hot, I couldn't contain my excitement! It's been stifling here for just about forever. even the nights stay in the high 90s so when you walk outside in the AM it's like hitting this wall of heat and humidity, not very energizing! But today! Today was fantastic, in the 70s and cloudy, haha that sounds depressing to read, but really it was great! So great that I ventured out for a slow run. It was nice, I felt like I was somewhere in October with the nice breeze, perfect weather! Although soaking in the morning does have it's consequences, I got back from my run at 7 and I am supposed to be to work by 7:30...yeah didn't happen. But it's ok, they survived without me :)
Today feels like a fresh beginning for some reason. You know that feeling in the fall when you are getting ready to go back to school and everything is new and clean, it's my favorite time of year and I do believe that today it is starting to peak through the blazing sunbeams of the summer.
I was reminded this morning that God has a plan, I know it's pretty "Sunday school". But today it seems to penetrate deeper, it's a real plan, nothing I do can mess that up. I just need to seek God's wisdom and He will handle the details. It's so freeing to think of. We don't have to worry or stress or get anxious about anything. Ahhhh if I could just hold onto this feeling forever!
Have a wonderful day!

CrAzY
Life has been a little crazy here in Oklahoma! We are moving in a week and 3 days so we have to start packing up our lives and moving just a few miles to a cheaper, but nicer apartment :) I cannot wait to get out of the second hand smoke zone!! It's nauseating! Fresh air here we come!
This weekend was pretty low key, Bryan and his brother in law ran the 5k in some stinking hotness! They did great tho! Saturday I tried to run, but my pelvis didn't like that too much so I basically took a long walk. Bryan worked and then after work we went to this Greek restaurant that I got a gift certificate from. Had a delicious pita with hummus and some tabbouleh. Reminds me of the good old days in Queens with the Greek music blaring right outside my window :)
Sunday was pretty laid back went to church and took a nice long nap, which was good while it lasted, but then I woke up completely disoriented, I hate when that happens!
This morning I had another super yummy green smoothie, it really gives me the motivation to get up in the morning :):) Had a good cross training workout and headed to work.
Well I have to go teach a computer class to some doctors...wish me luck!! :) Have a great day!

Green and Go

1 frozen banana
hemp protein powder (or any protein powder, really)
1 handful of fresh organic kale

It sounds a little, well, green at first :) But I am telling you it is good! The banana adds alot of sweetness and texture. There is also tons of other ideas at http://www.greenmonstermovement.com/ . It's a great way to start your day!
Well I am sitting here finishing up and actually kind of enjoying my peppermint tea :) So I better get moving.
