Hot Potato Chip: Week 23


What we ate: Spaghetti on toast; my go-to "sick" food.

How we moved: Very little.  A few walks was all I had in me.  I've beaten myself up about this, but Rational Kate knows it was for the best.

Where we went: From bed to the couch to work to bed.

What we wore: A shrinking selection of clothes, precious few of which are going to work for summer.  I wish someone would invent mid-thigh length underwear for those of us with too much thigh...

What we bought/got given: Lots! I cleaned up at a local secondhand baby bonanza, and we received a generous pile of bits and bobs from our neighbours.  I love hand-me-downs; cheap/free, green and good for the community.

What changed: Chip got MUCH more active over the past few days; I've felt movement every day since Friday, and it was non-stop for a good chunk of this morning.

What stayed the same: Belly still feels like it's stagnating a bit.  I'm not complaining- I know someone's still growing in there, and it's about time I had a belly-growth slowdown!

Exciting moments: Movements are definitely still new enough to be exciting, so I'm counting them again :)

Hope you feel better soon - although spaghetti on toast sounds like a good 'sick' food option :)
LOVE your blue belly band / necklace combination!!!

AHH!  you look so pregnant and cute!  so jealous of you feeling all the movement -- haven't felt a thing yet @ 18 weeks today.  hopefully soon :)

Resting is looking after yourself - that's where it's at! Hope the sickness passes really freakin' soon.

You look great!  I love hearing about Chip moving - that's one thing that has always fascinated me & I can't wait to (hopefully someday) get pregnant myself and see what's it's really like!

I am fascinated by the concept of spaghetti on toast--I love spaghetti, I love toast, I never thought of combining the two!  Glad you're letting Rational Kate take the lead and taking care of yourself :)

I think you'll be soon, Sara- it's apparently quicker for slim people, plus Chip had the anterior placenta to contend with! I think the first movements I felt were at about 21 weeks, and I know a few people who are still waiting at 22-23.

Heh- spaghetti on toast uses canned spaghetti, like Spaghetti-Os or something, I guess?
