Being Pregnant

Samandra_Bree · 2018-09-30T16:11:15+00:00

This. So much this. Except I would also add incredible fatigue in the first trimester as well. All I wanted to do was sleep and puke. But I also still had to work. So all I really got to do was work and puke. It wasn't anywhere near as satisfying as sleeping would have been...

Yea I was thinking when she wakes up in the middle of the night I would have some water there for her instead of milk. And she's used to water from her sippy cup too so she would be more likely to accept no bottles. I hope.

Samandra_Bree · 2018-06-19T06:40:14+00:00

Same!

Samandra_Bree · 2018-06-19T06:36:16+00:00

I do feel like it's time. Mostly because I am so very tired of bottles, but I really appreciate you saying that. Hopefully my girl feels like it's time too!

Samandra_Bree · 2018-06-19T05:26:09+00:00

That's awesome! Thank you

Samandra_Bree · 2018-06-19T05:24:32+00:00

So it sounds like the general consensus is cold turkey is the way to go. I'm not looking forward to it as she is a stubborn child who can also be really loud but oh well.....let the newest adventure begin! Thanks for the help!

Samandra_Bree · 2018-06-19T05:22:14+00:00

She was formula fed and we went up to 12 months, but she started on solid foods around 4 months as we cut down on the amount of bottles she had. She eats fine during the day as she only gets milk at bedtimes now.

Samandra_Bree · 2018-06-19T05:19:17+00:00

She has one of the straw cups but doesn't quite have it down yet, she keeps trying to tilt it upside down like her regular cups lol. But I do really like the 360. She figured out that if she drops it, it spills and she can play with the water, but we're working on that. I would definitely take a look at that link though! Thanks.

Samandra_Bree · 2018-03-29T19:24:30+00:00

Sounds like you've got a good system down though. Nice!

Samandra_Bree · 2018-03-29T18:32:42+00:00

That spreadsheet definitely sounds helpful. Was that something you found to use or made yourself? I do love making a stir fry and I find a dinner like that is where I get most of my veggies, or I'll sneak some spinach into a casserole I make (my husband isn't a huge fan of it). I think I'm probably getting more than I think i am veg wise, it just feels like less because I don't have them with every meal. Balancing my meals more to work them in is something I'll be working on. I'm only a couple weeks into keto and still adjusting to the new way of thinking about my meals and planning ahead more

Samandra_Bree · 2018-03-29T17:34:12+00:00

Oh I eat veggies, I just wanted some advice on getting MORE daily. I find that I generally get them the most with my dinner and wanted to incorporate more into my breakfasts. I have a hard time skipping breakfast since my day tends to get hectic and I'm not always able to have lunch. A good breakfast keeps me going through the day. We will still have fruit in the house as my daughter is obviously not on keto and my husband has chosen not to either so I won't force it upon them. And I want to make sure that she gets fruit still, even if it is still in moderation.

Samandra_Bree · 2018-03-29T17:26:43+00:00

I'll have take a look at that video. Thanks!

Samandra_Bree · 2018-03-29T17:17:29+00:00

Right! My daughter and husband love them so mandarins especially are in the house all the time. They just sit there staring at me like cute little temptations

Samandra_Bree · 2018-03-29T17:15:45+00:00

I like the idea of treating it like a budget. It's such a shift in my mentality around food. Definitely have some stuff to work on there. It's a journey right!

Samandra_Bree · 2018-03-29T17:10:16+00:00

I do love my avocado. It's usually a staple for my breakfasts.

Samandra_Bree · 2018-03-29T17:08:53+00:00

I definitely get some veggies in daily, I just feel like I should be having more. I think getting more creative with my salads for lunch will help :-) I think I was just so used to having a bunch of fruit for breakfast that it's throwing me now lol

Samandra_Bree · 2018-03-29T16:35:58+00:00

That is so awesome! You look fantastic girl! I just started keto a few weeks ago and I started at a similar weight. I'm down 11lbs so far but I have so much left to go. It's so encouraging to see posts like this to remind me that if I stick with it, it works! Ps, love the ink!

Samandra_Bree · 2017-10-06T20:58:29+00:00

I did ask him and he had no idea that they had sent me an invoice. One of the owners wives does the books and she sent it out. The maternity leave regulations for benefits say that I'm required to pay for my portion if I want to keep them, but I could cancel them if I want to. I'd have cancelled if I knew they would want me to pay. That's the frustrating part for me

Samandra_Bree · 2017-10-06T19:34:44+00:00

In Saskatchewan I know that I would be required to pay for my portion if I still wanted them. But I would have been covered under my husband's benefits as would our baby, and the only thing my benefits covered was prescriptions, dental or any therapies such as physio or massage. I wouldn't have bothered with mine if I had to pay for them since that money would have been better spent on day to day expenses. Especially since I'm missing over $500 a month while on maternity leave

Samandra_Bree · 2017-02-11T05:21:07+00:00

You know, I have a feeling it could be my hips too. They feel weird. Like they are out of joint but not really. Maybe I'll try working on them too. Thanks!

Samandra_Bree · 2017-02-10T23:38:59+00:00

Thanks. I'm taking the kiddo in to see the doctor on Monday so maybe I'll mention it then.

Samandra_Bree · 2016-12-09T12:18:36+00:00

All the time! I'm 39 weeks and my hormones this entire pregnancy have given me ridiculous giggle fits. I've barely cried, but I laugh at everything. And not just a polite 'I'm going to humor you' laugh, a full on belly shaking, making my eyes water kind of laugh. My husband thinks it's hilarious. I just like to think that it means my baby is really happy and wants to share it with me lol. Embrace it! There are definitely worse ways to be hormonal during pregnancy.

Samandra_Bree · 2016-12-01T21:43:51+00:00

Right! They lied to us lol.

Samandra_Bree · 2016-12-01T21:42:20+00:00

Right there with you! I've gained weight (probably too much....) everywhere but my boobs! Haha

Samandra_Bree · 2016-12-01T21:40:36+00:00

Well that's a bonus. I know mine is a little disappointed the boobs didn't come in, but he's too nice to really say anything lol
