23 Weeks Pregnancy Questionaire

How Far Along:  23 weeks and some change. 
Weight Gain/Loss:  I'm right around what I weighed when I got pregnant. And my weight will fluctuate daily by several pounds based on whether I'm feeling ok or not, so I average it out to be around -4 lbs lost.
Sleep:  Depends on the night. I ran out of my beloved Unisom, which makes me very sad. I would be sleeping a little better if my daughter (18 mos) would cooperate. 
Best Moment This Week:   Um.... I ate Chipotle once already this week! And Adam felt her kicking around for the first time a couple of days ago. 
Movement: Lots and lots. Just like her older sister, this little one is very, very active.
Food Cravings/Aversions: Food, in general, is not my friend. My stomach has become queasy again lately, which I am not happy about. My things that I almost always like are: lime juice, Chipotle chicken burritos, and milk. 
What I Miss: Not feeling like crap, and feeling like myself. I'm having a very hard time lately staying motivated and keeping all of my "to do"'s checked off. 
Stretch Marks:  No new ones. I still have my big battle wound right next to my belly button from Boo (that I didn't get until the very end of that pregnancy! Bugs me so bad!) and this time around I'm going to try REALLY HARD to not scratch. I also grew the most the last month or so. I am religiously lathering copious amounts of body butter cream on my tummy though. 
Belly Button:  I don't get it. Yes I have one? Yes it's still normal? It hasn't done anything questionable yet. 
Wedding Rings:  Fit the same as they always have. 
Mood: Unmotivated, stressed and not feeling good about 85% of the time (I'm a real peach to be around)
Labor Signs:  Nope. 
Milestones:   I think week 26 is when the baby is considered viable. 
Upcoming Appointments/Events: I'll have another appointment in about 5 weeks (I'll be out of town when I'm supposed to be seen)
What I look forward to: Getting over the newness of having 2 young children; I am scared for my sanity and general ability to handle it. Although I know I can "handle it" freaking parenthood is HARD! and since I haven't felt my best or like myself during this pregnancy I am not feeling very confident. 
Weekly Wisdom:  Take it one day at a time.

    I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

How to be a Housewife (Without Feeling Like a Slave)

Now, don't get the wrong idea here... I'm not sending a passive aggressive message out there to men (do men even read blogs?) that women hate doing house duties. We love it - right, ladies??? (wink, wink) And I'm not complaining either. (Although I do despise laundry, I love a clean house; so it's a double-edged sword.) One thing I'm BIG on is positive thinking . Sometimes, it is hard to be positive if you are feeling overwhelmed with dishes, laundry, cleaning, cooking... oh yeah... LIVING IN and maintaining a home. So, I thought sharing my thoughts on this topic could maybe help some disgruntled wifeys out there. 1) Don't hate, delegate - I'm a huge fan of starting young with manageable tasks around the home. There are a bunch of lists floating around the interwebs of chore lists for kiddos, and a lot of them are pretty dang silly (one suggests letting a 2-3 year old put dishes away, um no!)  -- but my favorite one is from Kids Activities Blog.  2) B...

How Not to Raise an Asshole

Guys, you know how I am. I tell it like I see it. And these days, I see a LOT of two things: asshole adults and asshole kids who will grow up to be asshole adults. Not raising an asshole requires work , so if you aren't interested in some blood, sweat and tears, then close your browser, and don't forget to write a rude comment on your way out. Let me preface this by saying: these suggestions are being made from my professional side, not my parenting side--- let's be real, the verdict is still out on whether my kids will grow up to be assholes or not (just kidding... over my dead body will they be entitled, dependent adults)... but still, the important distinction of point-of-view needs to be mentioned. Here are some ways not to raise an asshole: 1) Teach them how to do stuff. You know how kids don't come with an instruction manual? Well, neither does growing up. Kids learn from example how to do almost everything - show them how to do things! Don't just...

Caldo de Pollo - Paleo Style

Caldo de Pollo is a delicious dish that is absolutely perfect for a cold, wintery day like today has been in Chicago. It is a basic chicken soup, but let me tell y'all - it is far from basic-tasting!! Other than a considerable amount of prep work because of cutting up all the vegetables, this is a relatively easy one pot recipe (which translates to a quick clean up - extra points given there!). Traditional caldo de pollo is served with rice, but my version is completely paleo. Let me tell you that I honestly didn't miss a grain of rice one bit. Without further adieu, I present the yummy recipe for paleo-style caldo de pollo! Ingredients for soup: - about 2 lbs worth of chicken (I used organic skinless, boneless breast tender strips) - 3 liters of water - 7 chicken bouillon cubes (opt for low-sodium for healthier option) - 3 zucchinis - 1/2 white onion - 1 bunch of celery - 4-5 carrots - a package of sliced mushrooms - 1 floret of broccoli - 2-3 garlic cloves...
