Weeks 17 to 22

Life is still happening. Hahahaha.

We got our floors done last week and they are GORGEOUS. I'm almost thrilled that we had water damage.


LOVE LOVE LOVE.

They did such an amazing job with the installation. I could not be happier. They took less time than anticipated too, so we didn't have to stay elsewhere while they were working. We used Neike's Flooring out of Taylorville. Great, great place to work with!

We are going to do the same as last time and lump the last 6 weeks together.

Pregnancy Weeks 17 to 22:

Feeling: I've still been feeling really good except for this last week when I got a sinus infection on top of bronchitis. Holy yuck. I've been a coughing, sneezing, snotty mess this last week. Add on being tired from pregnancy AND from sickness and I've been a zombie. I've been very blessed that my parent's took Carson and I have been able to just rest and relax these last few days. Plus, my amazing job has been totally understanding. Makes sense since my job requires me to be around and handle food......

Cravings: Still juice. I make 6 mason jars full of green juice at the start of every week and have to start my morning with one! I have also been craving Thai food. We've had it twice this week. If I tell Andrew I want it again he might slap me. Hahaha. I think mostly it's the noodles and the tofu. Taste of Thai cooks really good tofu. So does Little Saigon. Mmmmm. I've also been craving grilled cheese sandwiches which I have successfully found a way to make them vegan and still have them be just as delicious, if not more. Chao "cheese" slices are the BOMB and Earth Balance buttery spread is spot on. I love that I can make Andrew grilled "cheese" and not have his stomach bother him too. I'm sure he appreciates it as well!

Aversions: Still eggs and meat. One day I thought I wanted Orange Chicken from Hy Vee... got it.... ate half of one piece.... thought I was going to be sick. So, haven't done that again. Also, a random one is sugar. Like, super sugary foods... mostly candy. Not a bad thing to not want, eh?

Belly/Weight Update: I've lost a total of 17 pounds during this pregnancy. How fun! It's still TOTALLY healthy and my OB is super OK with it. Me and baby are super healthy and doing just fine. I'm still eating almost all day, every day, just making much better choices. Almost makes me wish I would have been more vegan with Carson.... maybe I wouldn't have been as sick.....
Belly is still looking bigger every week. Little by little this man is taking up more room!

It's a BOY! 
This is so funny to me because deep down I knew it was a boy. As soon as the tech said it I went "Told you!" to Andrew. Now to find another boy name. Most of the boy names I like start with a C. We are probably going to have 2 little cuties with C names and I'm totally OK with that.
