It’s Friday, hoorah!! Miles has the day off from work so I’m heading out early too and we’re going up to the cabin for some boating and relaxing (and I was promised a milkshake, as well). I keep waiting to feel the baby kick as I was reading that it happens between week 16-18. Every time I think I might feel something it ends up being a tummy rumble, darn it…I’ll have to keep waiting! At the last ultrasound the baby was moving and shaking like crazy; even sucking it’s thumb! It’s amazing to think that something he or she can be moving around so much and I can’t feel it at all. Miles is hopefully going to be able to go with me to the next ultrasound so he can too can experience how awesome it is to see it moving (and find out the gender!).
Everyone keeps asking if I’ve had any food cravings yet. It seems like I crave one thing and then have an aversion to everything else. For example, lately anything with marinara sauce is a must. The very thought of thai food (my once favorite thing) is enough to make my stomach churn. I also seem to be craving lots of salty foods, McDonalds being my favorite. I keep climbing on the scale, making sure the McD’s isn’t catching up with me. Miles claims I was obsessed with McDonalds before I was pregnant but I’m chalking this unhealthy urge up to pregnancy!
The morning sickness is seeming to subside (I think). It’s been two days, going on three, since I’ve thrown up or felt overly queasy. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end! I even notice my energy starting to come back. On Wednesday I cleaned the toilet and the kitchen and yesterday I threw the ball and ran around outside for Maddie. That might not sound like much but it was leaps and bounds from where I was last week, wanting nothing more than my pillow and a dark room!
Off to play in the sun with Miles & then helping my bestie Nicole move tomorrow! Praying she’s going to be having a baby soon, too. Send those prayers up, too, everyone!! How amazing would it be to have a baby at the same time as my best friend….walks around Greenlake with our babies, complaining about how “fat” we still are, letting our babies sit together while we go for coffee…sounds so wonderful!!
OK, done rambling now :)
Hey girl! So excited that the ultrasound is coming up to find out what you're having. Then I can start to buy the cute little dresses or little boy suits :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your (and Miles') help this weekend. It was great to see you both and we REALLY appreciate your work on our move. Looking forward to having you over to see the place (when it is not covered in boxes)!!
Love, Nicole
