A momentous day!! I got to hear my baby’s heartbeat

this !
!!

I went for a walk midmorning while running errands. I love doing this – so efficient! I’m going on another shorter walk this afternoon. My goal is an hour of activity everyday. M/W/F is the gym and the rest of the week I do what I feel like doing. These days I’m loving going on long walks.

Here is me having a mini meal – a half cup of yogurt with blueberries and jam – after my walk. Should be a good mix of protein and carbs. [GO DUKE!]

IMG_5937Blog

When I went for my first prenatal appointment 2 weeks ago, I asked my doctor his opinion on when I should break the news to the blog world. Wait a few more weeks, after the 12 week ultrasound? I also told him I was dying to share the news. His suggestion was to come back 2 weeks later [today] and listen for a heartbeat through the Doppler. I ended up deciding to tell you all a few days earlier, but hearing the heartbeat was still reassuring for me to move forward with the baby blog.

Listening to that sound – gosh it was priceless. The most emotional moment yet. But I’ll save all the lovey dovey talk for this week’s post on BERF : )

IMG_5940Blog

Upon arriving back home, I made a quick quesadilla for lunch with some tortillas I bought at Whole Foods and leftover bean dip from the super bowl (still not gone!)

IMG_5944Blog

Also mashed inside was a nice sprinkling of sharp cheddar.

With Whole Foods Chipotle salsa (one of the only store bought salsas I have EVER liked thanks to minimal onion chunks) and a big pile of greek yogurt for dipping (and more protein!)

IMG_5945Blog

IMG_5942Blog

Grapes on the side! [Said to the tune of ‘pants on the ground’]

IMG_5946Blog

And Honest Tea to drink.

IMG_5947Blog

Im’ definitely feeling a bit better today with a better appetite for savory foods. Planning a snack around 3:30, a walk with Faith, a bakery bizness call and a spud-filled dinner with Hilary and LOST Season III!

      It was in the 160s (and was 166 at my 7.5 week US).

      But she told me right during the appointment today that there isn’t a correlation!

I can’t believe I have to wait so long for her baby to get here! Glad to see you’re feeling a little bit better 🙂

And that says a lot because I’m one of those people who will never be completely “ready” to plunge into the world of parenthood. I am so delighted for you, and who knows, following your journey may help me take that leap of faith that I know I ultimately want! Best of luck to you and Matt!

    That’s so awesome! I have a heartbeat monitor to use at home too, it’s so fun to listen at night and find out where the little baby is hiding. I highly recommend it. It is peace of mind and so fun to hear over and over again. (You can also record it and save it to your computer too!)

    Kath, when you buy dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese) do you buy full fat? I never buy lo-fat because I usually don’t like the taste, but sometimes 1% milk and lo-fat greek yogurt. I suppose you lose the protein value with the lower fat?

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      February 9, 2012 at 3:27 pm

      I buy low-fat mostly. Full fat on occasion and fat free only for Oikos.

    • Katie @ Healthy Heddleston says

      February 9, 2012 at 4:42 pm

      Just to add, you don’t lose the protein value with a lower fat version — just look at milk at the store sometime (whole milk, 2%, and skim all have the same amount of protein, just different amount of fat). Hope that helps.

    Kath- I love reading your blog, it’s such an inspiration for quick, healthy delicious meals! I’m embarrassed to admit how often I print out your recipes. So I was hoping you would have some recommendations about your all-time favorite kitchen tools. I’m getting married and am in the process of putting together my registry and would love to hear what tools you find yourself using over and over (haha the rice cooker obviously!) and if there are any that you thought would be useful that just sit on a shelf. Thanks!

    And CONGRATULATIONS on the pregnancy! So exciting!!

    I’ve heretofore resisted making this book recommendation because 1) I’m not a regular commenter, and 2) I know how the newly pregnant are inundated with (well meaning) advice and tips. However, I cannot recommend highly enough Real Food for Mother and Baby by Nina Planck. I know you are an RN and already eat real food, but this book is not just about how to eat well during pregnancy and after the baby arrives – the author just has such a refreshing perspective when it comes to pregnancy…. I really think you’ll love it. You can get a good preview of it on amazon

        Yup. That book was great. I’d recommend it, too. It really is all about real food, and how to better understand feeding a pregnant body and then a baby in the way(s) nature intended us to…esp in the face of processed and subsidized factory foods. My son is now starting to eat (!) at 6 months and I am grateful for having read this book to help me make better choices that are in line with what our pediatrician thinks but not always what the “industry” that makes baby food and writes the other books tell us.

It’s so fun to read along with you as I am going through, or went through, a lot of the same things, feelings, etc. Hearing the heartbeat is amazing, isn’t it? For me it was SUCH a moment in my life I will never forget it. It was almost spiritual or something! I have my first u/s in a few weeks and I can’t wait to see what’s in there! hehe. Good luck to you and I will be reading along- when will BERF make it’s debut??

    Belated congrats!! I’ve been following your blog since early 2008 and for some reason, even on days I’ve been too busy to read your entries, the past few months I’ve been sure to at least scan them on my igoogle page every few days to see if you had wine or beer included because I was wondering if you might be pregnant. 🙂 We’ve sort of been on the same schedule – I’m also 29, got married around the same time, made a job change around when you did by chance – and I had a hunch this might follow suit, as I am now 18 weeks pregnant! I CANNOT WAIT for your baby blog!! This is my first pregnancy so I am loving reading, watching, talking about all things baby and will be sure to be an active member of that blog. Glad to hear you’re feeling better – hope things are smooth and healthy from here on out!

    I loved your “Go Duke.” That was such an exciting game to watch and what an INCREDIBLE ending! My husband and I were jumping up and down screaming. The cat skidaddled out of the room as fast as he could. My oldest is a senior at Carolina and has yet to go to a game.

    Hearing the baby’s heartbeat for the first time, makes it seem so real! Wait until the untrasound! Truly amazing! My husband and I held out knowing the sex of the baby for both my pregnancies…I loved the anticipation of it all! We choose a mustard yellow for the bedroom with a unisex Noah’s Ark theme…I had two boys.

    Ha ha, I love BERF. What a wonderful, sweet moment to hear the heartbeat. That has to be just so surreal. Can’t wait to see the new blog.

    I wanted to wish you a belated “Congratulations!!”. I am so excited for you and Matt. I also must say I think you have been eating fabulously. I was so sick I mostly stuck with pasta and like you, very little veggies.

    I love your blog and think you do such a wonderful job. Regarding the not so nice comments a few days ago, it made me sad. Obviously you are a worker bee who churns out outstanding posts with tons of great health information, home organization and everything in between. In seeing your brief posts I just assumed you had other things in the works that would be later revealed on Kerf. Obviously I was right!!!!

    Kath, I’m so excited for you. Seriously, ever since I read your news, my maternal heartstrings have been feeling a constant tug. I can’t imagine hearing your baby’s heartbeat for the first time. I would have just lost it then and there. Can’t wait to read Berf!

    How exciting to hear the heartbeat!!! I’ll always remember being a junior in high school when my history teacher announced to us that his wife was pregnant by starting class with, “I heard an amazing thing yesterday. I heard my baby’s heart beat.” And all the girls started crying because we were all in love with him and how sweet he was 🙂

    Did Matt go with you to hear the beat?! Random question: What’s your favorite tortilla? We (and by we I mean my boyfriend) eat a lot of bean burritos and we’re always trying to find the best tortilla. The ones at TJ’s are good, but he just picked up some Mission ones I think (they claim they’re the best-selling in the country), but the list of ingredients is hideously long with all kinds of artificial colors, partially hydrogenated oils and all kinds of other NOT REAL crap. We need to check WF, but I figured I’d ask!

      He didn’t go because it was quick and he was at the bakery, but he’s going to the next big appt.

      I buy the Whole Foods Whole Wheat. They have a good ingredient list and are a good portion size.

    Congrats on the baby and hearing the heartbeat for the first time! I remember driving in terrible traffic in pouring rain to the visit when we first heard our son’s heartbeat (my husband almost didn’t make it to the visit in time so I had to stall the nurse a bit). It was so worth fighting traffic in the downpour to hear that!

    I’ve been a reader for a while but this is my first time commenting. I enjoy your blog immensely.

    Forgive me for the silly question but where did you get those mason jars with the dog faces on them? 🙂
