3 fer 3.
Third night in a row I am wide awake between 3-4 am! I was actually hungry pretty quickly last night, so I went straight to the mug of cereal hoping that would do the trick, but unfortunately, I was still up until about 6am and then drowsy enough to dose until 8. Thankfully I don’t feel that tired, but I imagine this is going to catch up with me!
I Google “is insomnia a sign of impending labor” and pretty much concluded NO it’s a sign of being very pregnant – bummer!! Ha ha.
A big bowl of oatmeal got me started on the day.
1/3 cup oats with milk + water + chia seeds + pinch salt stirred in a chopped peach and 1/3 cup cottage cheese at the end of cooking. Almond butter and Cville Cluster on top!
Earl Grey – hoping that tiny boost of caffeine does something good for me!
Happy 35th Wedding Anniversary to mom + dad! They were hoping for the baby to come today, but so far I don’t think that’s going to happen!
Jacqueline says
Love that wedding party shot. Happy anniversary to your parents!
Katelyn says
MISS that mug of mine! It’s all packed away. So soooooon lady. That bowl looks delicious!
Dione says
The day has just begun…you never know what could happen:) Happy anniversary to your parents!
Kavi says
LOVE the wedding photos! Happy 35th to your parents 🙂
Kate G says
I hope not cause I’m really looking forward to meeting you today! 🙂

Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Your parents wedding photos are fantastic! I hope you’re able to get some good rest soon.
Lisa says
Love the old wedding photos! Beautiful!
Insomnia was a late pg sign for me too. Your body, mind, and hormones are busy at work. Soon!
Ann Dunaway Teh @ Nourish & Flourish says
I am convinced the insomnia late in pregnancy is to prepare you for the broken bouts of sleep you will be getting once your sweet baby arrives! Sleep deprivation was much easier to handle for me the second time around, but it is amazing how after a while your body just adjusts. Hang in there!
Jennifer says
Happy Anniversary to your mom and dad! They certainly look too young to be married that long. I hope they have a special day. 🙂
I hope you don’t feel too tired today or maybe squeeze in a nap.
Lindsey @ Pas de Deux says
Wow, I LOVE your parents wedding party photo 🙂 Gorgeous bridesmaids dresses. Sorry you’ve been having trouble sleeping… restless nights are the worst. Happy Monday!
Sherry says
I found that all the waking up in the last few weeks actually was nature’s way of preparing me for all the splotchy sleep during several months of nighttime feedings for the baby.
Kim says
Happy Anniversary to your parents!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
Aww, sorry you had restless nights!
Happy anniversary to your parents! Your mama was a lovely bride!
Sam says
Kath, I wanted to tell you – I don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby but was down in Charlotte last weekend and made a TJ stop. I picked up smoked trout per your recommendation and opened a tin this weekend. Holy crap. It. is. so. good. I am so sad that I only got two tins! I’m definitely going to stock up next time I go. Thanks again. 🙂
KathEats says
Yay!
Kristen says
Your mother’s dress is gorgeous! It is very 70’s but at the same time very current- I dream about finding dresses like that at vintage shops.
Kelly says
I was thinking the same thing!!!
Mom says
Thanks everybody, for the lovely anniversary wishes. And thanks about my dress. Laura was contemplating wearing it but decided not to, but there was some discussion of cutting it off for her to wear late in the night for dancing. I can’t bear to cut it, by all my friends are saying, “Chop away.” I won’t though. I’m saving it for granddaughter dress ups someday.
Linda says
I loved seeing you in the dress after seeing Laura in it a few months back. You look great!! I agree – I wouldn’t be able to cut it either. Happy Anniversary!!
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
Happy 35th anniversary to your parents! Love that you found their wedding pics! I don’t even know where mine are without extreme thought – let alone my parents from like 40 yrs ago! lol
Megan @ Megan's Munchies says
Happy Anniversary to your parents! Love the pics!!
Hope you sleep better tonight!
Cristen says
I love your Mom’s bridesmaids dresses! Happy Anniversary to your parents!
Sounds like your body is just getting you ready for Baby’s arrival.
Mom says
Pleases me you all like my bridesmaid dresses! I’ve been looking at them with Laura and think they’re a bit plain nowadays. Mine were really cool from the back.
Shannon @ My Place In The Race says
Oh…I love your Mom & Dad’s wedding pics. So sweet! 😀
Julianna @ Julianna Bananna says
hope you get at least a couple of good nights’ sleep before the baby comes!!
and your oatmeal bowl looks delicious!! how long did you let the peach and cottage cheese cook in?
KathEats says
Peach from the beginning, cottage cheese always stirred in at end
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I love the optimistic googling. 🙂
As far as inducing labor, my mom swears by a steak, pound cake, and a swim in the pool.
KathEats says
Haha… a whole pound cake?!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I think it was a slice (no doubt a large one) – grilled with a little butter and fresh peaches.
Mom says
I make good pound cake. Come on down and have the baby in Durham!
Vidya says
Haha! You sure want to lay hands on your grandson ASAP!! Happy Wedding Anniversary to you both. You both look great and make a gorgeous couple!
Rachel says
breakfast looks great! Aww love the wedding photos!
Abbey says
I love the bowl that you used for the oatmeal! Do you remember where you got it from??
Happy Anniversary to your parents as well!
KathEats says
Pier one!
Jess @ JessieBear What Will You Wear says
What kind of almond butter do you use? It’s been looking so delicious in the past couple breakfast posts :P.
KathEats says
Naturally nutty cinnamon vanilla
Lauri says
At the end of my pregnancy i regularly found myself awake around 2 or 3 am to use the bathroom, and then not falling back to sleep for a few hours, until just before my alarm was ready to go off to head into work for the day. Those were some loooong drowsy days!!
Jennifer says
I love that picture – happy anniversary to your parents!
Katelyn says
That bowl of oatmeal looks so delicious with all of the different ingredients! Naturally Nutty Cinnamon Vanilla is THE best – I can go through a jar of it in less than two weeks. It’s really good smothered on graham crackers for dessert 🙂 Side note – when I pulled up this post and saw the title, I really thought you were going to say that you had your son last night while we were all sleeping!! 😉
KathEats says
Haha… sorry for the teaser!
Spice Chicken says
Viva las 70s! Reminds me of my parents’ wedding. Congrats to them.
Kelsey says
I love those gloves the bridesmaids are wearing! So cute. I totally think that should come back.
Mom says
My mom INSISTED on the gloves.
Annette @FitnessPerks says
Happy anniversary to your parents!
Some days a bowl of cereal is best-for sure 😉
Ellen @ Wannabe Health Nut says
Wow, your mom has great taste! I love her dress (that neckline is my favorite) and the bridesmaids dresses are cool, too!
Coreen S says
Happy anniversary to your parents! It is my (first) wedding anniversary today too!
I also read into your title and thought maybe something happened last night!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
I love their wedding photos, her dress was classic and pretty and I loooove the color of the bridesmaid dresses!!
Amanda @ flecksofgreen says
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear you are having trouble sleeping…I hope it works out better tonight!
Christina @ The Beautiful Balance says
WOW, you look JUST like your mother! Hopefully you will not crash early in the day. So funny how Google or “googling” is the go-to for anything health related. Endless database of answers haha.
Amber says
Aw, you are a beautiful lady just like your Mom.
Tiffany says
Happy Anniversary to your mom and dad 🙂
Do you use coaches oats? Is the final product different flavor and texture wise to quaker rolled oats?
Thanks! By the way the pictures you posted of your night out with Matt were beautiful. You looked radiant in them. Your black dress looked really pretty on you 🙂
KathEats says
Thanks!
I cook with Coach’s oats maybe 20% of the time. I’ll usually note when I do. I like them a lot! They are about the same in flavor but a heartier texture.
Becky says
I remember being told that if you had insomnia at the same time every night during the end of your pregnancy, that was going to be the time your babe would wake up for feedings once they arrived. It was true for me. Maybe your body is prepping for that?
Angel7 says
Happy Anniversary to your dad & mom!
Your mom’s bridal gown is pretty!

Maria@Sinfully Nutritious says
Larbs really looks like your mom!
Sarah R says
Oh my gosh! Yesterday was MY parent’s 35 Wedding Anniversary too! Small world. They’re in Alaska celebrating and ate Wild Alaskan Salmon last night as well 🙂
KathEats says
Haha – love those coincidences!
Katie Cummings says
Your mother’s wedding dress is so beautiful and classic!
