It's Not Happening

I had to quit it. 

At 11 weeks pregnant, I didn't even make it out of my first trimester...

vegan.

I guess I'll just be a failure of a vegetarian. 

In other news, I'm looking for work. Which is...a bummer. 

Often. I feel entirely unmarketable, and obsessively reading articles on the New York Times about unemployment and recent graduates, while half watching Ally McBeal, is probably not the most helpful of things I should be doing. Okay, pity party over,

I love my little bump. 

Mother's Day Weekend

Mother's Day weekend was wonderful and exhausting.

We threw a paris themed baby shower for my sister on saturday (for the activity/gift we had a perfume bar...so easy to make, and everyone loved it)

My mother threw me a graduation party on saturday

And we had a mother's day party on sunday

It was a wonderful and hectic weekend.

We found morel's on a hike and I made a vegan yellow cake using this recipe, I topped it with a chocolate glaze and strawberries. It was perfect!

P.S. It was kind of weird having everyone refer to me as a mother. I don't really feel like it yet....I almost feel like my body is a house that I'm preparing for a foreign visitor...but not like a mother...

Nausea: It's a Total Bummer!

These past few days I have really been feeling the nausea. I even threw up, which is very unlike the iron stomach that inhabits me. 

Kristopher likes to think of it as a learning experience.

He has the strongest gag reflex of anyone I've ever met. 

Anyway, it's been hard to eat anything other than bagels and mashed potatoes. 

Exercise has been near impossible (I guess I'm eating my own words here regarding Ms. Tracy Anderson).

I really hope this doesn't last until week 12. I'm over it after three days.

The above pic is the treat I've been loving during this time:

toasted onion bagel

vegan cream cheese

tomato

cracked black pepper

sea salt

Signs of Summer

Summer is finally showing it's face around here. 

I welcome you summer. 

You make taking naps outside both dangerous and relaxing.

You mean I never have to go back to chem lab. 

You bring spring colds. 

I'm into it.
