Play Dates and Chiropractor Appointments

Well, It has been a busy week!

I got to finally meet up with a great friend of mine Rachel, for a long overdue play date with her two Adorable kiddos Colton and Savannah. It is always nice to get some info from a super-mommy like her! She had 2 little ones under 2, so I listen to every. single. word  of advice that she throws my way!

It was especially fun watching the dynamic between Olivia and her children. Because Livi is an only child (for now ) she does not get to interact with other kids too often. I am so happy to see how she does socialize when she is able to. She especially loved playing with Colton....I think because he was playing with her and talking to her so much.

Sadly....Olivia came down with some kind of sickness :( Sunday she had a 102 degree temperature. Then Monday it went from 101 down to 100. Today she spiked form 101 to 102.5 ! I was so worried. My poor little princess kept crying for me and I felt so helpless. All that I can do is hold her and take care of her to comfort her as best as I can..... She dropped down to 99.5 at bedtime and I am praying when she wakes she will be her bubbly self in the morning!!! This is the second time she has spiked a fever over 102 in her tiny little life. Words cannot describe how it breaks me to see her so sad and sick......

At 5 and a half months pregnant, I have been experiencing some pretty bad back pain. I believe it started around this time in my first pregnancy.....But this time I decided to do something about it. With the blessing of my OB, I found a Chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy. He is great. My very first appointment was remarkable. The neck pain that I have had for YEARS   ......... Gone! and my back pain is almost gone too. It does pop up on days I work or stand for more than 30 minutes at a time. But it is so nice to get some relief and manage the back problems this time around!

I am really starting to feel this little baby kick ! She especially loves to have a crazy dance party in my belly at night time! I call her my little jumping bean <3

Here is what 22 weeks is like:

Baby is 1 pound, and about 11.5 inches long
Baby is the size of a Papaya!
She now has eyebrows, eyelashes, and maybe even some hair on that little head
Can hear Mama , Daddy and Olivia talking .

I have really not been able to eat a lot of foods this pregnancy. Breakfast has been quite the challenge. I found a recipe for Cracker Barrels Hash brown Casserole and it is Delish!I eat it almost every day for breakfast. Of course miss Olivia comes running, and I tell her it is hot and she begs by repeatedly saying "aaaahck" which means "hot" ! I do not quite know why she says it so weird, but I have a hunch she cannot pronounce it.

My Hash browns! Yummazing!

 I have lost interest in my beloved steak.  I do not crave sweets on a nightly basis, which is really a blessing in disguise. I will say that the other day my amazing Husband brought home some donuts from a local shop by the name of Jack Frost located in Cleveland Ohio. He got me my faves : Lemon, Custard, and German Chocolate. AMAZING!

The missing donut was an Oreo one, My hubby just couldn't resist eating it !

 As for Cravings, I lately Crave .....Crab legs, Potatoes, Coconut and Chocolate Ice Cream from Honey Hut, Pecan Pie, and The Famous Sokolowski's University Inn Pierogi Dinner. Weird huh???

I could eat this every day!!!!
