Call it cliche. Call it stereotypical. Call it whatever you like, but this pregnant woman has made a Friday Favorites post that is entirely centered around food. Really, it was just that looking back over the week I realized that I had a few pics of random food items and I thought we would go with a theme for this post. =)
Kenzie's lunch earlier this week. I have a picture because Kenzie insisted I show Daddy her lunch. She was super excited about this one. I, honestly, have a hard time with meals for Kenzie. She is a super picky toddler. Some days she is in to whatever I want to serve her. Most days... she isn't. Just getting any food into her can be a challenge a lot of times. I try to make sure they are balanced and pretty good for her. So, here she has whole wheat crackers, chicken, cheese, and grapes. Now. To figure out how to get her to eat veggies again. She used to eat greenbeans three or four times a week for lunch. Won't touch any veggies I give her at this point.
I posted this pic earlier this week on Instagram. This is my labor prep tea. =-) Some people say it induces labor. I don't buy that. Granted, (and I have mentioned it before in other posts) I do NOT believe you can self induce labor if baby isn't ready to come out anyway. That being said, this tea is actually supposed to help tone your uterus making labor a bit quicker and easier. If that is even possible. I'm willing to try it. I'm usually not one for any hot tea so I prefer to brew the tea, add ice and a bit of sugar (it is a super earthy tea) and drink it that way. I usually brew two tea bags for each cup just to strengthen it and let it steep for a few hours. I have recently moved up to two cups a day. The recommendation is to increase the amount you take as your pregnancy progresses. Since we are at most 3 weeks from Will arriving I figured it couldn't hurt to up my intake just a bit.
Did you know they sell this dressing in Publix?!? I had no idea until I found a coupon in the paper one day. It ended up being my obsession for the last week or so. I have seriously had a salad with it every day this week.
And last but certainly not least... this gem. I haven't had one of these in MONTHS. At the beginning of this pregnancy I drank them fairly often because they seemed to help with the morning sickness. As time went on, I just stopped. Well, this week I had an intense craving for one and had to go get it. I only drink the coke variety usually. I was a bit sad because the machine was working but the coke slurpee was slightly the wrong consistency. I dealt with it though to satisfy that craving.
What are your Friday Favorites for this week? As we get closer to Will's due date I keep wondering when he might make his appearance in one of these posts...
