The time is just flying now! Before school started, I would check my pregnancy apps daily, I could tell you exactly how many days pregnant I was, and I had a count down to the second trimester. Now, I guess how far along I am -- and secretly check sometime (usually days) later. I haven't checked any pregnancy apps in awhile. :) School (both teaching and classes at night) have made this pregnancy fly by...so far!
Food cravings/aversions: For me, pregnancy = cravings. Crazy cravings. Hostess crumb doughnuts make their way into my breakfast routine at least once a week. Chocolate milk. Recently, the little blue kool-aid juices have tasted like liquid gold. Oh, and I've eaten Carlos chips and salsa every day for lunch this week. Just chips and salsa. I am happy to say that I can still eat chicken (which I couldn't with Jack), and tomato sauce and chocolate. I don't know if those are good or bad things.
My aversions are: I feel sick and queasy when I drink pop, especially caffeinated pop. Weird for me! French fries are either my best friend or my worst enemy. When they are fresh, I love them. When they are stale, I swear I can taste EVERYTHING that has been fried with them. Weird, again, I know. I cringe at the sight of buffalo sauce. I ate a little too much of it at the very beginning.
Changes/feelings: I'm starting to feel like I look pregnant! I'm getting past that awkward stage of I-can-get-away-with-regular-clothes, however I probably shouldn't. My maternity pants are too big, but they are much more comfortable than regular pants. Many of the shirts I am wearing were from pre-pregnancy...only because I know soon they won't fit! I haven't gained any weight...I've lost 5 pounds since before. I don't know why I'm good at that during pregnancy?!
Memorable moment this week: Ultrasound! It was the sweetest, best idea ever. It was an elective one. I was DYING to know what baby K was...so we did it. We counted fingers (10, check!), toes, organs, watched baby snuggle, and it was such a great experience. I was sent home with a goodie bag, a cd of pictures, and a dvd of the ultrasound. Kudos to Prenatal Vision!
Oh, and for the first time in 17 weeks, I woke up this morning without gagging. Maybe, just maybe, the sickness has gone forever?! I wouldn't be sad. at. all.
What I'm looking forward to: Our next ultrasound...which will be our FIFTH one this pregnancy! I just love seeing our little peanut bouncing around and waving at us. It makes our appointments much more exciting.
I am so blessed. I am so excited. I am so ready for newborn baby snuggles.
