Baby Senso #2: Week 35

^^this is from our trip to Sardinia last week (34 weeks), it was lovely, but I was just so hot all the time - it was actually nice to come back to cooler weather

baby's size: 
a honeydew melon

i'm feeling: 
particularly moody these days and pretty tired

food love: 
peanut butter & jelly sandwiches on crustless wholewheat bread (it's amelie's new favorite too) 
steak fries (so happy that M&S sells them in their frozen section) 
berries of all kinds 

food hate: 
loving everything 

pros: 
my pregnancy carpal tunnel seems to be going away which is awesome and i really hope i don't get mommy thumb again when the baby is born. it was so painful with amelie for a few months after she was born. 
thoroughly enjoying nap time with amelie, i know i won't be getting tons of sleep soon so having a 2 hour snooze most days cuddling amelie is pretty nice. 

cons: 
leg cramps (charlie horses) in the middle of the night
being restless at night thinking about the labor & delivery 
getting up to pee sometimes 4+ times a night 
way too much laundry to do for the baby 

currently living in: 
the same old stuff - i ordered a bunch of clothes from ASOS and not one thing was a keeper! 

looking forward to: 
hanging out with my two girls - baby senso #2 could arrive as early as mid-July (amelie was 2 weeks early) and i really can't wait to meet her

Baby Senso #2: Week 30



baby's size: 
a large cabbage

i'm feeling: 
generally fine 

food love: 
coffee cake (just dreaming of it though) 
pasta 

food hate: 
nada

pros: 
i'm feeling pretty huge these days, but at least it hasn't been as bad as my last pregnancy. i remember around this time, i would have to wear a pregnancy band nonstop because of back pain. it's still there, but not too bad. i don't think amelie quite gets it, but she will sing and give kisses to my belly and it's the cutest. 

cons: 
i wish i could fit into my old jeans! my clothing selection is becoming smaller and smaller as the bump is growing 

currently living in: 
anything stretchy and comfy  

looking forward to: 
cuddling a tiny baby and having her in my arms

America Trip 2016

^^Boston! 

We finally made it to America after almost a year and a half and boy was I was glad to complete all of my food goals while we were there. Flying with an almost 2 year old wasn't as bad a we thought especially since we flew at night and bought her her own seat. I must say though, London airports are way more child/family friendly than in NYC. Here's a little recap of mainly all of the food we ate :)  
^^We bought her a Peppa Pig vacation book and she watched some shows on my iPad before falling asleep. 
^^Sticker obsession
^^Beijing Duck Burgers in Flushing were amaze. 
 ^^Dim sum with the family. 
 ^^We saw Dafna!
 ^^Ok, Momofuku cereal milk & pretzel soft serve. Kind of weird, don't think I really enjoyed it, but kind of thought I had to because of all the hype? I think the cereal milk would have been fine on it's own, but the pretzel soft serve was just a little bit too salty. 
^^Dafna bought her honey nut Cheerios and she was in love! 
 ^^The reaction on this girl's face when I opened up the wrapper was utter amazement. She loved this bagel and so did I. 
 ^^Amelie isn't usually a huge fan of pizza, but give her a slice of Joe's and she couldn't stop! 
 ^^Reunion in Brooklyn. 
 ^^Smorgasburg was the best thing ever. 
 ^^Omg, doughnuts, finally, that are good! 
 ^^She love the carousel. 
 ^^Lots of grilling, with perfect weather all week.
 ^^This ice cream was SO good. Chocolate with sprinkles and pistachio with butter pecan. 
 ^^Magnolia cupcakes!
 ^^Diner food was delish, though Amelie had a huge meltdown and I ate two bites before we had to wrap everything up to go. Seriously this girl was so off during and after the trip. She's finally back to her old self though. 
 ^^Playing a little basketball with daddy before going to the airport. 
^^Waiting for our flight at 11pm, she slept for most of the way.

I miss you America and all your food. We'll be back soon hopefully and with two babies!
