Just Too Sleepy!

I'm sorry that I haven't been keeping up with posting here. I've just been too sleepy! That's always been my strongest pregnancy "symptom" during my first trimester. I've been succeeding at drinking daily green smoothies and am eating about half raw. I am feeling really good. I've just been too sleepy to want to spend that extra time on the computer keeping track of it and posting everything. That should improve a little later in the pregnancy. Right now I'm wanting to sleep in in the mornings, nap in the afternoons, and go to bed early at night. :-D

Today:
Breakfast: Blueberry bagel with cream cheese
Lunch: Green smoothie with macaroni and cheese
Dinner: Calzone (raw)

I'll let you know how the calzone is. It is a new recipe and it looks fantastic. I've got the sprouted buckwheat and the soaked flaxseed ready and am getting ready to make the bread part and get it into the dehydrator. Then closer to dinner, I make the filling and put it inside.

Today's been going well. I soaked oat groats overnight and switched the buckwheat groats from soaking to sprouting. This morning, I rinsed the buckwheat and put it back on the counter to continue sprouting. I have all kinds of yummy meals in mind once it has sprouted.

Today:
Breakfast: Oat banana porridge with fresh blackberries and blueberries and milk
Lunch: Green smoothie - mixed greens, bananas, strawberries
Snack: Milk
Dinner: I think I'll have peanut butter noodles (not raw) with the family and then we'll have popcorn (not raw) in the evening while watching a movie together.

Thank you for your encouragement, Lynn.

I have never gone raw or high raw during a pregnancy before. I want to try to listen to my body. I think my goal will be high raw although I will probably have days of 100% raw. Today I had:
Breakfast: Sprouted bread with halvah, sliced apples, milk
Lunch: 1 quart green smoothie - mixed greens, banana, strawberry
Dinner: We got pizza as a family. I had it with more milk.

I have had buckwheats soaking on my counter today and will switch them to the sprouting stage tonight. I imagine it might take longer than usual as it is SO cold right now. Outside the temp is currently 7 and we'll be dropping to -24 tonight when windchill is factored in. In this old farmhouse, the colder it gets outside, the colder it gets inside.

Restarting

I have learned that the Lord has blessed my womb again and I am thrilled! I am going back to raw/high raw starting tomorrow. I want to give this baby the absolute best nourishment I possibly can! The other event I mentioned has had further delays. Yet, now when it does happen I will press on through it if possible with my raw eating. I am so excited!
