Feel The Burn

Foodblog-2628

Ay yi yi I didn’t sleep very well last night – rib burning extreme! Normally I can lie on my left side to make it go away, but there was no relief last night. I think his little behind was tucked up and pinching my muscles and nerves. I remember in the middle of the night thinking: “There is no way I can handle 5 more weeks of this…” which is a scary thought. Thankfully it’s better (not gone) this morning.

Breakfast was delicious – overnight oats fiesta!

Foodblog-2637

The usual blend made with raspberries and blueberries – plus a handful of salted peanuts which I totally regret adding. I ended up picking them out, which is not like me. Earthy peanuts + doughy overnights oats were not a match made in heaven.

The topping, however, was a blob of Sarah’s latest nut butter creation – Lemon Nutty Butter. Sarah has been using me as her taste test palate, and I’m a big fan of this one!

    Just wanted to mention with the rib pain.. When you posted the pic on BERF yesterday of the location of the pain, I had gallstones in my gallbladder with my first pregnancy, and had pain that came and went in the same place that you were pointing.

    The doc told me its more common to have stones form during pregnancy, and they diagnose on a specific gallbladder ultrasound. I had my gallbladder removed when my daughter was 7mo old, to prevent issues in future pregnancies. They don’t want to operate during pregnancy unless it’s really an emergency (gallbladder inflammation etc).

    I just wanted to throw that out there. I hope it’s just rib pain for you and nothing more. 🙂

      I mentioned this to my doctor, but he said the burning/tingling is structural – I guess if it keeps getting worse I will bring it up next week again!

      Hmm, didn’t know that was common, but my cousin, who’s now 37 weeks along, has the gallbladder issue. They’re waiting to remove it until after baby comes.

      Anyway, I was going to say that I started having some stomach issues at about this point in my pregnancy last summer. Fortunately, they did abate after a couple of weeks, so maybe things will ease up for your last weeks.

    Sorry you didn’t sleep well, hope you can get some rest today. I remember this late in pregnancy that it always seemed to be the little buns that would cause me discomfort as they were running out of room. Just have to know where you got the bowl and the pear placemat/linen? Such vibrant colors and designs!

    Hi Kath!

    We were just wondering if you used frozen fruit in your overnight oats or do you add the fruit in the morning?

    looks great!

    I had the burning rib thing especially bad with my first child, not so much with the subsequent two. It was always in the same spot like she had a foot stuck there or something. After she was born, that spot was literally numb for like a year. So weird!

    Kath, I think you had a Canary Melon the other day. I’ve been thinking about honeydew lately. When I saw that delicious fresh melon on your plate, I had to have one. Was at the market and saw one that looked similar, called a Canary Melon. Slicing it open for lunch!

    What an adorable plethora of colors and patterns! And the moose drool is the cherry on top. I’d be interested to see what the lemon butter tasted like, sometimes I love lemon flavor but sometimes I feel like it tastes out of place. I’m sure five weeks will fly by! Hope he moves and gives you a little relief later today.

    so sorry to hear about your rib pain… i’ve never been pregnant, but it sounds pretty painful to have a little bottom poking up in your ribs while trying to sleep! take it easy & catch a nap today, if need be!

    During my first pregnancy I had the same exact horrible burning rib pain- definitely everything stretching during these last few weeks! I only got relief from pressing on it, which obviously was short lived relief!
    I’m at the end of my second pregnancy now and I have yet to have the pain- carrying quite a bit lower I think.
    Here’s to hoping once that baby drops you get some relief!

    Hi Kath,

    My rice cooker finally came yesterday. (I bought the same one as yours except mine is a 3 cup in black). I cooked oats in it this morning, they were good (a bit gummy and bland). I’ll have to work on the water ratio and maybe adding my cinnamon the night before.

    I wanted to add fruit (berries) the night before but I was unsure if it would be okay. Have you tried that?

    Also, when you cooked beans in yours what setting did you use?

    Thank you so much! Hope your day is off to a wonderful start. As always beautiful photos 🙂

      I found the oats a bit gummy too- which is why I prefer stove top if I have the time. I put the banana in the night before. Since it doesn’t have to be refrigerated, it should be food safe

      Cinnamon? Hmmm. Since I am not adding sugar to my oatmeal anymore, I’m never thought of adding cinnamon without the sugar. Will try that tomorrow.

    kath,
    i don’t mean to be harsh, but as i was reading about your insufferable rib pain (which i truly hope goes away or is more tolerable in coming days) the pop up ad on your side bar was a child that was bald from chemotherapy in a St. Jude Children’s hospital advertisement. I hope this gives us some perspective…

    I hope your baby is happy and healthy and slight discomfort you are experiencing just means they are developing correctly.

    In general, I’m curious what you think about pregnancy being discussed like a medical condition — do you find this good or bad? We have definitely come a long way since women squatted in a cave…but is all the over-analysis helpful or hurtful?

    • KathEats says

      July 26, 2012 at 11:28 am

      That is an unfortunate juxtaposition – I don’t choose the ads that run (although I can veto them) so I wasn’t aware of this as I was typing my post.

      I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the advancements in pregnancy care. Remember many, many women used to die in childbirth and children too.

    I’ve made the same mistake TWICE now in the past and swear I won’t ever do it again! Crunchy nuts and seeds DO NOT belong in overnight oats. They ruin the texture.
