summertime mornings

For weeks now, something has been missing from my morning routine. Coffee. I made it through two pregnancies without developing a coffee aversion so it came as quite a shock when I walked into the kitchen one morning this summer and decided the smell of that freshly brewed energy was no longer my friend. Poor Shawn has been making and drinking his coffee alone ever since. His breath has also been unfairly subjected to the scrutiny of my pregnant nose. For a couple who met while working in a coffee shop and has always shared a love of coffee, this has not been a welcome change. However, this week we seem to have turned a corner, my tummy and I! I celebrated the return of coffee to my day with a batch of chocolate chip scones. Yum. Thankfully, I no longer crave caffeine the moment I wake up, but I can once again satisfy a craving for quiet morning moments with a warm mug of coffee in my hand.
