A little less than 20 weeks to go! Time flies! I am feeling so much better lately and was so happy to have my 20 week ultrasound today to check on how little one is doing. He or she looks to be living it up in there and I couldn’t be happier about it! Now the big question: is it a boy or a girl?! The plan is not to find out, although we did leave the office with a sealed envelope that contains the answer. #nopeeking 🙈 Also...this letterboard thing took me FOREVER. 😂 And on a more somber note, let this be fair warning to you that Christmas is now less than 19 weeks away. 😱 #holycow #20weeks #20weekspregnant #bunintheoven #blessed #firsttimemomtobe #mommytobe #rainbowbaby #knotknotoutfitters #letterboard #wordswithmeans #halfwaythere #babybump
Our volume of what are commonly referred to as the Eliot Tracts made a trip out into the reading room today. This doesn’t happen often, so I had to snap a photo. The tracts bound into the volume date from 1643 to the early 1700s and detail missionary work between colonizers and the Native people of New England. #nativehistory #newenglandhistory #17thcentury #indigenoushistory #eliottracts #rarebooks #aasrefdesk #indianhistory #wearestillhere
Photographed a few more Nipmuc language cards this morning. Taubotne = thank you. #thankyoucard #cardmaking #papercrafts #watercolor #watercolorcard #taubotne #languagereclamation #nativelanguage #indigenouslanguage #thankyou #thanks #nipmucnation
In October 2017 I changed my way of eating. I cut out empty carbs and refined sugar and upped my vegetable, meat, fish, and heathy fat intake. I lost 58 pounds, improved some insulin resistance and PCOS problems I was having...and found out I was pregnant near the end of April 2018! . . Then the all day sickness (morning sickness is such a misnomer) and the food aversions came. I started to embrace rice, crackers, bread, pasta, anything simple and bland that I could get to stay in my stomach without making me feel awful. It was very mentally tough for me to go from a great way of eating to one that I knew wasn’t good for me but that was keeping me and baby going for the first few months. ***I should say here that low carb worked for ME. The high carb diet I had been on was causing many health problems for ME. This way of eating is not for everyone. You do you. . . Now that I’m feeling better (only nauseous sometimes instead of all.the.time.) I’ve cracked open this book. So much great - and sometimes surprising - information. Lots of science, lots of footnotes. I recommend it for anyone looking to know more about how what you eat does (or does not!) effect your and your baby’s health. . . As someone who experienced great benefits from NOT subscribing to the standard American Diet, it does seem time to re-examine some of the poor science behind all of those dietary recommendations we pregnant women are bombarded with on a daily basis. ✌🏽 . . #mamatobe #realfoodforpregnancy #probablymylongestcaptionever #knowledgeispower #whatimreading #realfood #lowcarbdiet #secondtrimester @lilynicholsrdn

Vanilla soaps all cut! They’ve started curing to a dark brown from the outside in. #soapmagic. They should be pretty dark in a few more days! The design didn’t turn out quite how I was imagining, but that’s ok. . . . #freshwaterstudiosoap #coldprocesssoap #cpsoap #vanillasoap #soapshare #handmadesoap #artisansoap #vanilla
It’s #wetsoapwednesday! This is the first soap I’ve made in weeks! I tried a vanilla bean scented soap this time and played with the design on the inside a bit, trying out some new things. It didn’t actually go as planned (the batch accelerated faster than I wanted it to) but it smells great, so there’s that! I’ll show the cut tomorrow! . . . . #freshwaterstudiosoap #vanillasoap #handmadesoap #soapshare #wetsoap #soapinthemold #coldprocesssoap #cpsoap #bathandbody
