Pregnancy Journal: 27 Weeks!
On the hayride to go find our pumpkins!
I am closer to 28 weeks than 27 weeks while posting this, but our house was hit with the stomach bug this weekend and life got away from me.
Landon doesn't like sitting on the hay. Jackson was so excited to sit by the pumpkins!
So #27weekspregnant and continuing to feel great! This is my favorite time of year. I love the fall, Midwest weather, the clothes, the smells, the food (but really, who doesn't love food while pregnant?!), and the outside activities. My boys and I went to a local Pumpkin Patch this weekend (prior to getting sick), and had a blast.
I am feeling baby move more and more each day. Especially when Jack and Landon talk to my belly. They love telling "Baby Fred" (that's what they have named him) all about their days, what they ate and what they did. I need to record these conversations because they are freaking adorable!
I was low on iron so I have started taking an iron supplement and eating more iron rich foods (greens, spinach, beans etc) to help improve my levels. My eyesight has improved with doing so. My eyesight was getting pretty bad over the last month so I am glad my doctor caught that.
I am continuing to eat a diet high in good fats and protein. Lots of good research out there with having a diet high in healthy fats while pregnant and breastfeeding. I am adding more avocado, coconut MCT oil, and Omegas to my meals and snacks throughout the day. I definitely feel better when I do, especially when I am staying hydrated, I notice less swelling in my labia and legs. I mentally feel better too! That's a bonus as a mom of 2 (soon to be 3!).
Eating a diet high in healthy fats is also great for women of all ages because they help regulate our womanly hormones. How wonderful is that!! We could all use a little help with our hormones, am I right?! hehe
Anyways, I'll be making a post on that soon!
Have a fabulous week! If you want to chat about anything, remember, I do virtual consults now :)
