Cravings? What cravings? I'm just really hungry!

So back from vacation and.....back to reality.  The rain, full work weeks and one growing tummy.  I still have my 'wow, I' pregnant' moments where I think the past 5 months have been a dream.  And then I get a boot to the left side of my ballooning stomach that snaps me back into mommy2be land and I smile.  Mason is kicking as I type this.  Almost done the 2nd trimester and a few new experiences....


  • The double take glances in the mirror as I exclaim, "Holy, I'm huge!" (but in a cute pregnancy way, it's not negative)

  • Minor heartburn which jolts me upright when laying in bed (finally bought some tums)

  • Daily kicks by Mason the future soccer player.  Mommy likes pressing into where the feets kicked so he can kick again, quite a fun game

  • Seeing the look on Daddy's face when he saw my belly shake for the first time from little feets

  • Trouble sleeping, rolling off the bed to go pee a million times a night


  • And then the regular stuff like still getting super sleepy on weekends.  On Friday night I think I was in bed by 7:30 and didn't get 'up' until 3pm on Saturday.  I still don't feel well rested!

    And the newest preggers symptom which I didn't think would show up...cravings!  While grocery shopping, I HAD to have a bottle of grape flavored water accompanied by a glazed donut (I hardly ever eat donuts).  Nom nom nom.  Mason liked it too as the sugar hit him minutes later :)  I'm now craving for things we didn't buy (cream filled donuts, shortbread cookies).  Guess I'll just deal with it!

    Aside from that, all is well.  Looking forward to our 3D Ultrasound scheduled for Dec 1st, the video will be posted sometime afterwards.

    I'll sign off now as I'm sure there is something else I want to eat and must go in search of.
