Have been really busy on the work front, the fiber front and the family front. But first things first, let me give you an update of how Baby Keeney #3 is doing. Not bad, huh? Growing, Growing! Scroll down as I talk about my morning sickness and cravings!

3 months before I discovered I am pregnant I was still on my Vegan diet. I’m not really Vegan but I detox myself a few times a year just to get rid of toxins, and it makes me feel brand new and energized so I make it a practice. Well, I’m not kidding. I was at the time subconsciously craving for nothing except for the Seeduction loaf at Wholefoods, Field Roast – a Veggie Pattie with cranberries and oat, Sunflower sprouts, Cucumber, Jalapeno, and Vegenaise spread. Nothing else mattered and I ate that all the time. Just a week after I stumbled upon the revelation, I was already feeling bad, and strangely had a relapse for meat products. It was out of the ordinary. The cleansing part has never done this to me before and this list of foods strangely enough were the only ones I was interested in consuming:

1.  Grilled Sirloin/ Angus Beef

2. Hot Green Creamy Salsa

3. Raw Sweet Bi Color Corn

4. Vanilla Ice-Cream

5. Mango

6. Orange Juice

7. Indian Curry/ Tikka Masala/ Chicken Khorma

Nothing else mattered.

I love fish, seafood, especially shrimp and calamari, but not this time – In fact being Asian and raised traditionally Asian, I found advice on avoiding fish during pregnancy a very big myth. As long as you eat in moderation, and either buy quality clean fish or go to a reputable sushi chef, nothing can go wrong. My 2 girls are living proof of that including myself, my siblings and relatives. We do quite well physically, psychologically and intellectually.

I did experience some discomfort though this time around like Acne, I don’t get bad Acne ever! Not during a pregnancy. I also have bad headaches and the doctor says my placenta is very low this time around. I was getting quite concerned but I got great news today – the placenta has moved up so there’s a great chance I’ll be doing a VBAC again instead of the nasty cesaerean the first time around. I was also advised not to run as I usually do for this pregnancy so that left me walking the whole 5 miles each morning, no pilates anymore but I substitute that for prenatal yoga and lately I’ve been knitting a lot.

On the fiber front, I’m finally getting to finish that last batch of dye-ing project and then I get to update the shoppe hopefully. I haven’t had time to do so; sorry folks to send you all scurrying via email asking for the latest deals. But I do have some stuff up for auction on ebay this week if you’re interested, a couple of spindles, fiber, books, etc. Click here for the link. And I’ll try to put more up as I find time and as I get around to all the daily needs, errands and work around here.
