oh boy what a day it has been. My husband went back to work today so it was my first full day with baby girl alone and we made it. I also have gotten a few things done. First I was a bit anxious but it was acutally a great day with my girls.
Since Spring is here and stays for good so I am bursting out all of my light and airy dresses and I can´t quite decide which one to wear first. Decisions over decisions.
Other than that I haven´t gotten any news. We are still stuck at home and it is really getting on my nerves. Tomorrow is our first appointment at the pediatrician and I have to go there alone so wish me luck.
Oh boy it has been like forever since I have posted a recipe over here. I really don´t know why but I think because of my pregnancy I had so many food aversions and wasn´t too happy about eating so food posts seemed a little off.
But I am slightly getting back into my normal posting scheme so here I am today with an awesome breakfast recipe, a ovenbaked pancake called Dutch Baby.
It is super simple, has only three ingredients and takes in total 25 minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients
– 2 eggs
– 180 ml milk
– 100 gr flour
– mixt the eggs with the flour
– mix the egg/flour mixture with the milk
– put butter in your oven form/pan and heat these up in the oven togehter
– after the butter has melted pour your batter into it and put back into the oven
– let it bake for 20 minutes
– I sprinkled some powdered sugar over it and topped it of with raspberries
Super easy to make and super delicious. I am a total breakfast gal and I missed having these kinds of breakfasts during my pregnancy cause I couldn´t eat carbs.
Definitely going to share a ton of recipes soon cause now that we are held in quarantine I have time to cook every day and tried some delicious things you will be able to remake soon.
and welcome back. I am glad to be back myself today. Yesterday´s post was the last one of my pre-written blog posts I prepared for my leave.
It is great to be back with fresh and actual new content with all that´s going on in the world and not being able to take pictures at the „good“ locations but somehow we made it happen on our walks to shot a couple of looks I am starting to post tomorrow.
For today´s topic I am sharing my current and almost daily make-up routine. Time became pretty precious since the baby is here and I am sure it gets even worse when my husband goes back to work next week.
Everything I am using is also in my holy grail make-up post minus the lipstick.
Another great mom gadget (or in general for less time and bad hair days) is a cute headband. Immediately creates a put together look and you have one less thing to worry about when you are running low on time.
All the products I have used for this look:
L´Oréal Infallible Full Wear Concealer in color Fawn
Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Foundation
Sephora Collection Matte Powder Foundation in color Petal
FYI: I prepared this blog post before our baby girl arrived so there would still be fresh content on the blog while I am taking a break from blogging. That’s why you’ll still see me pregnant or referencing my pregnancy in some upcoming blog posts!
since you might know from reading my bump dates that I had been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes right away at the beginning of my pregnancy I thought I wanted to share my journey/experience so far to help others.
But first of all I am no docotor and in no means do I have any medical knowledgement. I am just sharing my journey and thoughts with you guys but before you do anything always talk to your doctor first.
I personally haven´t known before how serious this can be for mother and child after giving birth but also how it wasn´t to hard to get control of it.
I was diagnosed with insulin resistence due to bloodworks before I got pregnant so I had to go in for the glucose test before I was even pregnant. An insulin resistence means that your body isn´t processing your sugar/carb/starch in-take in the way it should be which means your blood sugar levels rise and then start sinking. Mine fell after and then went up and then straight down. Also my sober blood sugar is a little over 90 every morning which isn´t to bad as a ´normal´person but pregnant it isn´t ideal for the environment of the embryo so I had to start injecting insulin right away after I found out I was pregnant.
This has been a huge bummer for me and really made me feel down a lot of times – not because I wasn´t able to eat what I like during my pregnancy cause I basically had to cut out most of the carbs, sugar and starch containing produts but I had to start prick myself 7 times a day to meassure my blood sugar and also inject insulin several times.
And as much as I was looking out at the first three months where your hormones are going crazy and through the roof this can also happen to your blood sugar levels. So I was devastated a lot of times and panicked often cause I literally thought I would kill my embryo by eating the wrong things and having super high results. Thankfully this got better after a few months and my insulin dose stayed consistent for longer periods so I didn´t have to adjust it constantly.
I have to take two different types of insulin. A short-term insulin right before I eat breakfast because food is processed the slowest in the mornings. So as I have to eat a little more for breakfast as I am always super hungry in the mornings I have to take this otherwise I can´t have enough food to be full. The other insulin I am taking is long-term. So I take a shot at 12 am to keep my sober level in the evenings as low as possible and a shot at 10 pm for my morning blood sugar level to keep it under 90.
The average blood sugar levels should be as the following. Under 90 in the mornings and before eating a meal and under 140 one hour after a meal and under 120 two hours after eating a meal.
If Gestational Diabetes is detected too late or stays untreated during pregnancy it can really affect your baby in a bad way in terms of their own insulin production after being born. They can also grow really heavy cause of all of the sugar they get which can be very difficult and dangerous for delivery. But this can be avoided by taking the glucose test at your doctor´s office.
I don´t want to scare anyone with this post, I am just writting down my own journey here. Also I am no doctor so if you need or want more information on this topic talk to your own OBGYN.
But what is Gestational Diabetes ?
The further you get into your pregnancy the more energy you will need so your body sets more glucose free. To lower the sugar in your system your pancreas has to set way more insulin free. In some pregnancies the pancreas can´t perform this so you are soon having a lack of insulin and you need to support from the outside or you will have bad results after every meal.
Maybe this has cleared some things up for you and if you have any questions feel free to mail me?
This has been my last blog post about any pregnancy related topic or pregnancy style. I am really sad to close this chapter of my life for now but I am over the moon excited to open the next and have our little baby girl home with us.
