16 Week Baby Kaake Update

I had my 16 week appointment today which also means in 1 month, I'll be half way there. Yeah!!! They found the heartbeat very quickly this time. Our little bean kicked the doppler 3 times within a minute which was oober cute. Our son did the exact same thing every time they tried to get his heart beat. lol.

My uterus has not moved since the last appointment, which if you can remember I was measuring a month further along. It just grew really fast since this is my third.

I have not gained one pound since my last month appointment which was nice. I had a little extra to lose but I'm guessing at my next appointment I'll have gained a couple pounds. I'll just keep eating and see what happens. lol.

At this point our little bean is about the size of an avocado. How exciting is that? We love our avocado's :)

Let's see, what else.....my iron levels were great which was nice. I was also told I can go off my progesterone supplements now. Being a little cautious I'm having a blood draw on Saturday to make sure my levels are staying high enough and not dropping. That way I will have notice far enough in advance in case I need to get on the progest. asap.

I have my next appointment on April 1st to see what the gender of our little bean is going to be. I'm very excited!

So there's my 4 month update;) We're oober excited!

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery. So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy. I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out. I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing. Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful. I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips. At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery. I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible. So my food options may seem different than ma...

I often see facebook posts of people looking for good, wholesome movies to watch with their spouse or their family.

Summer Herbal Tea

I made this up a couple years ago and it has def. been a summer favorite for me as well as for my kids. If you can't drink black tea because of the caffeine (or other reasons), give this a try. Ingredients: 3 parts red raspberry leaf tea (not raspberry flavored) 1 part peppermint tea water Directions: 1. Steep tea as your normally would. For me I use enough boiled water for a 2 quart pitcher. I usually add in 6 Red Raspberry tea bags and 2 Peppermint Tea Bags. If I have bulk, each tea bag itself usually contains about 1 teaspoon of loose tea. I steep for 10 - 15 minutes, then take the tea bags out. 2. Add sweetener to taste - honey, stevia, etc... 3. Chill. It's that simple. What you're left with is a refreshing glass of tea for those hot summer days. Below are some benefits of each of these teas. Use caution when drinking peppermint tea while pregnant. Spearmint is generally a better option. Red Raspberry Leaf Pepper...
