We have a big announcement and this is where I would normally say, and ‘no I’m not pregnant,’ except this time I am!!:) We are so thrilled and excited to meet our little macaroni & cheesecake this fall. I’m 13.5 weeks along and have felt pretty good for the most part. I’ve had a few days of nausea every week but it’s been nothing too bad and I’ve not actually gotten sick so that’s been nice and my energy has finally returned, Praise the Lord!
For a while there my appetite was that of a 5 year old and I was eating PB&J and Macaroni and Cheese and that was all that sounded good to me. I haven’t had too many cravings yet except that one night I wanted Chinese, which is a rare occurrence for me. I had to have chicken fried rice and an egg roll, stat! And it was so good! I’ve been trying my best to eat as many fruits and veggies as I can. Though I have indulged some as well, especially since Adam’s birthday was last weekend and I definitely had a few pieces of cake! I do seem to want to eat cheese or cheese flavored things quite a bit (can’t get enough cheez-its, haha).
I’m starting to show more but I’m still in that “she looks like she’s eaten too many cookies” phase. So I’ll be glad when my belly pops out a little so people can tell that I’m actually pregnant. We’ve had a couple of ultrasounds so far and the baby looks great! Progressing exactly on schedule and heartbeat is great.
Also, wanted to let you know this is not going to become a baby blog. I will still be focusing on food and recipes. Since I do share my life and what we are up to in my weekend Strawberry on Top posts, those will have occasional updates on the pregnancy/baby but won’t always be about that. They will be about our life and what we are up to and include restaurants and travels too.
Welcome! I'm Stephanie, a thirty something girl loving life with my husband Adam and our two little miracles living in gorgeous Southeast Tennessee. I'm passionate about Jesus, traveling, sports (Go Titans!), and of course food! Read more about me
