This week has been busy, but productive, so I’ll take it! My meetings have kind of slowed down, thank goodness. I was going crazy with having three to four meetings every single day. I still have a lot of meetings, but they haven’t been every day, so I can handle it. Lunches this week were broccoli cheddar soup because I was trying to get more veggies in. This definitely helped! I think adding cheese to anything makes it easier to eat…
On Wednesday, I had meetings back-to-back from 9am until 4pm. This was my only crazy meeting day this week. I had my favorite snack during one of them…a Granny Smith apple with caramel dip. SO good.
Sometimes you just need some forced Lu cuddles. She did not love this. At all. Look at her face. HA!
If I’m able to turn my camera off during a meeting, this is what is happening on my side of the screen. Both dogs always seem to want my attention when I am busy doing something else. Maybe they’re preparing me for having a baby…I haven’t gone to the bathroom by myself in about nine years (Lu is almost nine), so they’ve already gotten me used to having no privacy.
Dinner Wednesday and Thursday was stuffed pepper soup. This was delicious, but I have decided that peppers REALLY upset my stomach, so I’m going to try and avoid them from now on. I used THIS recipe. I loved how filling this was and the flavor was incredible, so once baby is earth side, I’ll make this again. It says it’s a keto recipe (low carb), but we obviously aren’t keto…I inhaled both of those biscuits along with the soup.
Thursday morning started at the gym. I still feel pretty good, so I am going to keep working out as long as it stays that way!
Lunch was the last of my broccoli cheddar soup with a pepperoni and cheese roll-up on the side.
Rhea laid like this for about three minutes…just holding the tennis ball in her mouth. She makes us laugh daily.
Some of my favorite Amazon finds are on sale right now! I wanted to share them with you since these are things I get questions about fairly often. These are all affiliate links.
The first is the collagen we use every day. We have used this for about three years now and I love it. I get the unflavored so I can add it to anything. I love it in my coffee, smoothies, or yogurt.
These are my favorite prenatal vitamins. They don’t upset my stomach or have a bad after taste like so many other I tried. Plus, anything in gummy form is pretty much candy. They’re also on sale right now!
This is the laundry detergent we use. I love the subtle lavender scent.
I got this to use on our area rugs because my Dyson isn’t getting all of Rhea’s hair out of the fibers. They work SO great. You can also use them on furniture, too.
We swear by this water additive to keep our girls’ breath from being stinky. I think we have used it for about two years now. The bottle lasts a long time! This is also on sale right now.
I have two meetings today, so I should be able to knock out some other work. I think Mondays and Fridays are my favorite days. Mondays are great because you’re starting a brand new week and Fridays are awesome because you’re wrapping up your week. I like routine, so maybe that’s why those two days are my favorite, ha!
Oh, and baby boy is 23 weeks today! So crazy. It’s all going by so slowly, but also so quickly. I can feel him moving pretty regularly now, which I love. Jake and I got to watch him roll over the other day, so that was really cool. We definitely cannot wait to meet him, but want him to stay in and keep growing for right now. I can’t believe we are close to the third trimester…so crazy!
Happy Friday, friends!
