Happy BERFday

IMG_6581Blog

I’ve been up since the 5:00 hour – I couldn’t sleep my mind was so excited and racing with thoughts. So now I’m headachy and tired. I think this might be the beginning of second trimester insomnia [Caitlin dealt with this too.] A month ago I could sleep 10 hours no problem – now my body wants to think!

IMG_6583Blog

Breakfast was easy today – cereal!

    • Uncle Sam’ Strawberry (I got this at a blog event and normally wouldn’t pick something with freeze dried fruit. Not because I don’t think it’s natural enough, just because I tend to prefer plain and add my own mixins. But I’m really loving the strawberry essence!!)
    • Shredded wheat
    • Lots O banana
    • Chia seeds
    • Sunbutter
    • Milk

IMG_6584Blog

Hot tea – because even though our high today is 75* (!!), hot tea helps me wake up : )

IMG_6585Blog

And the moment so many of you have anticipated!

Baby KERF debuts!

And a real happy birthday to Emily!!

    Yay for the BERFday!! 🙂 I just read your ultrasound post – how exciting!! I’m a regular morning workout person and get up at a rather insane hour, so on the weekends I have crazy annoying insomnia from about 6am onward. I think I’m doomed for the day I actually decide to have kids and experience pregnancy insomnia too!

I think it’s cool you did a separate blog for family stuff so now other people won’t complain about you sharing baby stuff of KERF and those of us that wanna know can enjoy the experience with you. Thanks for sharing kath and I look forward to read BOTH your blogs everyday 🙂

    Congradulations on the birth of BERF! I only wish I had kept better accounts of my journey to look back on. You think you will remember it forever…but time has a way of selecting only some of the memories…ususally the best ones, but still, it would have been nice. Have fun with it!

    Hi Kath! This is very belated, but… CONGRATULATIONS! I should have said it earlier, but I’ll admit that I’m having a hard time getting excited about babies right now… NOT that I want one yet, but I’m in that stage of life where EVERYONE is pregnant or on their second (or third) and we haven’t started yet. I hear the biological clock getting louder (we’re the same age), but with THREE MORE YEARS of school, I just can’t get excited about that yet. So, anyway, major congrats from Buffalo!
    Also, I saw those negative comments some people wrote about on your blog and wanted to give you some positive feedback 🙂 I still read your blog, not for nutritional info necessarily (but I love the tid bits here and there!), but for the pretty pictures and to keep up with what’s going on with you. And I would NEVER have thought to adorn my oatmeal with peanut butter if it were not for you! Those waffles from this morning looked amazing (I’ve made something similar with cottage cheese flavored with fresh ginger, if you can imagine)… I get such inspiration for my food just by seeing what you pair together.
    Keep up the good work and I’m excited for you both, and for BERF!

    And breakfast sounds lovely. I’ll have to check out the Uncle Sam Strawberry. I find that even the plain Uncle Sam satisfies all the right spots (with some x-tra add-ins, of course!)

    Too much Vit. B6 over time can sometimes cause insomnia. Maybe as you cut back/don’t have to use the anti-nausea med, you’ll sleep better, too.

    Yeah sonograms are crazy. Looking at your baby and what it’s doing in there is super incredible.

    We’re cooking up our second child and watching his sonogram in contrast with his brothers reveals a lot! We can more easily visualize what he’ll be like because of how we watched our first son grow. Insane. Parenthood rocks.

    Does Berf have an archive section? I’ve been having the best time winding my way through the Kerf archives but I couldn’t find one over there to follow along with too. Am I looking in the wrong place?

    PS Thanks for sharing so much of your incredible journey. My favorite part of the day is visiting with you virtually : ) Your upbeat attitude and healthy outlook are truly inspiring!
