Indigestion

23 weeks & 5 days down...17 more to go


Past couple of days I've been sufferring from indigestion. Trust me, it is no fun. No matter what I eat, nothing wants to stay down. I cannot imagine what stomach life is going to be like for the next 17 weeks. Besides indigestion, I've had the energy to make amazing food the past couple of days. For some reason, the past 22 weeks I have not been able to think of anything to cook & often have to ask the hubby for suggestions. However, I have no clue what came over me this week, but I am enjoying thinking of new things to cook & making delicious dinners every night. One awesome thing about pregnancy is that whatever I crave...I have an excuse to eat it THAT DAY without any questions. So Friday I went to Bonefish with a couple of my girlfriends. We all ordered their infamous Bang Bang Shrimp. Now, with my indigestion bothering me...this choice wasn't the best, but it is too good to pass up. Anyway, since then I was craving their shrimp and finally looked up the recipe online. I found out how easy it was to make it & made it on Monday night.



Sauce:

1/2 cup of thai sweet chili sauce (can be found @ walmart)1/2 cup of mayo

add sriracha to taste *picture to the right* a.k.a cock sauce


Shrimp:

1 lb shrimp

cover with cornstarch, egg, and panko crumbs & pan fry in oil

cover cooked shrimp with sauce & sprinkle w/chopped green onions


Now back to pregnancy....I now weigh 131.8 lbs and my belly is measuring 34 inches around. I am constantly hungry! At 8 weeks pregnant I was 121 lbs, so I have gained about 10-11lbs so far. Although I was dying to have a big belly, seeing the weight on the scale go up sucks! I am still working out and doing crossfit, but I scale my workouts down a lot so I don't get too winded. It has been great and I know these exercises will benefit me greatly as my belly gets bigger and when baby Silas comes and wants to be held.
