Today we went to see the OB for our regular visit and everything is continuing to progress normally. Baby's heartrate is 145 and he/she is seated very low (not surprising given the frequent trips I make to the ladies room :)
Gained 8 lbs. thus far in the pregnancy (never easy to watch that scale go up (but I know it comes off afterward)
Continuing to exercise by walking or taking classes (including yoga, zumba, and cardio).
Got sunburnt yesterday because I forgot when you are pregnant you are extra sensitive to sunlight (won't make that mistake again).
Have felt some real kicks not just weird movement down there. The baby is especially awake after meals and right before bed. Probably because it is the only time I sit still long enough with a 20 month old to chase after.
A few minor cases of nausea right away in the morning but normally goes away because I am preoccupied with some activity.
Especially enjoying meals and my appetite has increased with that feeling of I have to eat NOW :)
Craving fruits especially apples and strawberries. Really just enjoy a good meal, nothing snacky is really that appetizing. Also have eaten some oreos with milk the last couple of days but my cravings come and go as quickly as I think I have them figured out :).
Enjoying my maternity pants and anything with elastic, still wearing mostly normal tops except for a few prego tank tops (as seen above) which are longer!
Painted my own toe nails for I am sure is the last time for a long time, as it was challenging enough and my belly is not that big :)
Using a sleeping pillow already (Scott just loves having the company of that in bed everynight)
Generally feeling good except for the occasional feelings of excitement to meet this baby and freak-out moments that how will my love grow instead of divide but I know if God orchestrated it all (which He did) that he has that all figured out and my heart will be just fine :)
Can't believe are almost half way - it is going really fast this time!!!
