Buttered Up

IMG_1621

‘Twas a glorious morning for blueberry pancakes!

IMG_1617

Somehow I slept till 9am and ten got started on this feast. I used the Great Harvest pancake mix, but I left out the egg as an experiment since we only have one left (and I might want it for lunch!) I used 1 tbsp of chia seeds in water instead, and while they weren’t as puffed as usual, they were still delicious.

IMG_1622

In lieu of my normal nut butter + crunch toppings, today I just went with some local butter and maple syrup on the side – dippable for optimal flavor

IMG_1624

IMG_1618

Loving my new raspberry leaf tea! It’s like decaf black tea – so glad it’s not herbal.

IMG_1620

Few plans for the day – and great weather! We might join a pool!

    Kath – just wondering: Are you having raspberry flavored black tea, or true raspberry leaf tea? The latter is not recommended for pregnant women until the end of the third trimester! Be careful 🙂

        I learned in my Bradley class that true raspberry leaf tea could possibly induce contractions so its not good to have it before 37 week .some pregnancy teas have raspberry leaf in it but in very small amounts. Good luck!

          Everything I read today says nothing about induction – just uterine support. In fact, several sites refuted the induction claim

        Isn’t it herbal tea though? I thought herbal tea was anything other than tea from the tea bush – camellia something.

    Hey, don’t shoot, but I thought raspberry leaf tea could bring on labour? Is that incorrect? I found this, and it’s listed under the “not safe” teas until the late late stages of pregnancy …

      Hmmm. I didn’t do any legit research, but my googling led me to several articles that said it can ease morning sickness, suggesting starting early, and that it generally supported good uterine growth and support, so I didn’t think it was JUST for labor.

      I will ask my doctor

          Well you might be right. I’ve only had one cup, so I’m not worried, but I’ll ask my doctor before I have any more

            Good call on asking the doc, Lady. And yeah for sure, one cup will be fine either way. I’ll just leave you with this because it looks like though there is controversy, the American Pregnancy Association does say it’s okay in 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Comforting if you want to keep drinking it after hearing what your doc says!

    Agree with the others on Raspberry Leaf Tea – I don’t know about in the US, but over here in England women drink it when they’ve gone overdue to try and bring on labour – along with eating really spicy curry!

    We slept in late today today! (or should I say our dogs let us sleep in today!) And I thought those were chocolate cookies too.
    I love the pool. I am addicted to the water. I think it would be heavenly to be in when you’re pregnant. Refreshing, cool, relaxing and great for exercise too.

    Kath, Just finishing up my very first peanut butter jar full of oats! YUM.

    I ate fried egg sandwiches, or chocolate chip pancakes, or potato wraps for breakfast everyday.. this new oatmeal addiction is shocking to me, but I won’t question it! Probably better fuel for my half-marathons and bike commuting..

    I confess, I “have to” add strawberry jam and honey bunches of oats.. 🙂

    I see others said something about the raspberry tea but I thought I’d pipe in too. I’m pretty sure (biochemist hat here) that true raspberry leaves don’t INDUCE labor but they do contain a chemical that relaxes the muscle tissue in the female area. I personally took the herbal supplement years ago for horrible cramps and such and it seemed to help but the amount of chemical that affects your body isn’t going to be that high in a cup of tea. Ask Nate sometime….I tried drinking like 5 cups in one day to induce labor (I was days overdue with Drake) and it did nothing. Two walks around the block one night and I went into labor 3 hours later…just to keep it in perspective 🙂
