Well, it's official... I AM pregnant! Ha! At least that's how I felt when I finally started noticing an actual "baby bump." It's been very exciting to experience all of the amazing changes that are happening... even though some are not as pleasant as others! :) I will say that the sickness, which has been mainly in the evening as of late, IS improving. Thank the sweet Lord above!!!!! It's still hanging around but not nearly as bad as it's been. I have just learned to try and eat a pretty decent breakfast and lunch since I am not as excited about food in the evenings.
My cravings are fruit and cereal... mainly honey nut Cheerios's and mango, kiwi, pineapple, and strawberries. I have also become really into Perrier and pellegrino. I found that plain old water was too boring so I picked some up to see if it would help me drink more fluids and I don't leave home without it now! Since I don't drink pop I think its the carbonation that really hits the spot! Other than that, I have more sporadic cravings that come and go and its usually things I haven't eaten in YEARS! The other day I all of the sudden started craving a vanilla ice cream cone from McDonald's and there was NO stopping me! And for those of you who know me well, know that I don't eat fast food. Not to mention, I haven't had a vanilla cone in like... 15 years! Anyhow, I literally drove like a bat outta hell to the nearest McDonald's drive thru and devoured that cone in minutes! It was amazing how satisfying it was! Ha! But the funny thing is, I haven't craved one since. Which is probably a good thing because there is NO self control with cravings when you are preggers! As far as food aversion's go, I cannot stand ANY type of meat right now. I have NEVER been a big meat fan to begin with but I would force myself from time to time and now, uh uh- no way in h, e, double hockey sticks can I eat meat. I CAN do VERY thinly slided turkey on my sandwiches but that's it! So needless to say, I have had to get real creative with my protein intake. Lots of smoothies, yogurt, cheese, etc.
So, next on the pregnancy agenda is my 16 week appointment next Monday and then I am HOPING I get to have another ultrasound at 17 weeks to find out if Baby Crea is a Boy or a Girl! We can't wait!!! Of course we will keep you updated!
Take care...
