baby ole :: week 12

this week began with the annual trip to the washington county fair with mom and my greeders. meg also had some tag-a-long kiddos which made for a busy and exhausting day. it was lots of fun as usual tho. then on saturday mom came to bloomer and al accompanied us to the "big" bloomer fair; which was tiny. and old. :) the rides were so old i had trouble figuring out what they were, particularly the tilt-a-whirl. but we got to watch the horse shows, see some animals, had delicious food that supported local sports teams, and walked through the merchant building which actually gave away cool stuff. we got to talk with some of the locals too, which was nice.

then al had to go to work so mom and i went shopping in eau claire. i hadn't been shopping in months and i figured out why: it's expensive :) baby ole may have gotten a couple of really cute old navy one piece outfits! also, i took mom to cherry berry for frozen yogurt for her first time. and no surprise, she's addicted. so yummy!

then on sunday, al, tator and i headed up to the cities to shane & jodi's house for a fantasy football draft. it was a good time and so good to see jodi and shane and their pups! tator was tuckered upon leaving!

it was a very busy weekend and that on top of my nausea going away, meant that i forgot to eat often. i ate less in 2 days than i had in a long time without realizing it. i had to call in sick on monday and leave early on tuesday. i'll be sure not to do that again. :)

also, summer softball would normally be over this week but with the long winter we had, we have 2 weeks of make up games. this means no break between summer and fall ball. i could really use that break... playing fall ball on all 3 teams!



How far along: 12 weeks

How big is baby: size of a plum

Weight gain/loss: 1 pound

Stretch marks: none

Sleep: still sleeping pretty well; had one night where i must have slept on my neck wrong, was in pain for days.

Diet/Cravings/Aversions: aversions to meat, no food ever sounds good and very little tastes great when i eat it. fruit tastes the best. it's not fun force feeding myself every time i eat.

Movement: none

What I'm loving: sleep :)

Symptoms: the waves of nausea definitely were at bay starting this week, and by the end of the week were nearly gone. although the couple i did get came in the evenings instead of the usualy mornings.

What I'm looking forward to: a non-busy weekend and vikings football starting!! also one week of full time at menards left, then go to part time!

Best moment of the week:  cheese curds and cherry berry with mom

How I'm feeling: exhausted and a little defeated on the eating front. also very nervous for school to start in 3 weeks.
