My Kale Obsession

I've been on a kale kick lately!

Today I had a smoothie made mostly of kale, Greek yogurt, bananas, cantaloupe [I ran out of fruits earlier lol], and pomegranate juice.  Whether it's raw, on a burger, a taco topping, or made up in a smoothie I CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!

My favorite, however, has been kale chips.. YUMMY.

vague directions:
-wash the kale
-pour about a tablespoon or so of olive oil over it
-sprinkle some Himalayan pink salt over it
-pop it in the oven
-enjoy!

been substituting junk food with different concoctions, such as this wonderful thing.

I don't know if it's just because I'm pregnant and craving it more and more, or if this is something that's gonna last. I hope it does; my diet lately has really impacted my health in a better way. I think I'm going to go enjoy a kale salad since I can't sleep..

Week 10

So we definitely had a scare yesterday. We spent all day at two different urgent cares. The first place feared we had an ectopic pregnancy, but after the ultrasounds at the second location ectopic was ruled out. They found a large cyst and said Tylenol would be the only thing I could take to stop the pain. I am actually allergic to the active ingredient so I have to go through this whole pregnancy in pain. I hope it subsides.
I also have had a food allergy to dairy, but since we became pregnant my allergy has worsened. I can't even enjoy almond milk without getting itchy. Not dairy, but the nuts... Giggity. Soy milk, here I come.
Because of my health issues, most I refuse to go public with, I will be heavily monitored throughout the pregnancy. My biggest concern is being out of breath. I have to coach myself on breathing since I've already had issues stemming from my birth defect, pectus excavatum. It's scary, but I have a wonderful team behind me: my husband, family, friends, midwife, and doctors galore.

Well I'm off to the dentist, and then outro to the midwife.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Baby, we can't wait to hold you!!
