I'm not a milk lover, by any means. I NEVER drink a glass of milk, that is, unless I have something like a chocolate chip cookie or a piece of chocolate cake. For some reason, this week I drank an entire half-gallon of skim milk. That may not seem like a lot to some people, but it is for me. I think I had a glass every night this week with a fiber One bar on the side :) Yummy!
I also usually do the low-carb thing. It works for me, but not when I'm pregnant. As with Jadon (which is weird because most people's pregnancy cravings are different each time), I have been craving anything made with tomatoes...specifically ketchup!!! I remember eating a large order of onion rings from Burger King, when I was pregnant with Jadon. I kid you not, I had an entire packet of ketchup with every 1-2 onion rings I ate!!! What??? Crazy! Well, this pregnancy isn't much different. Jamie made sweet potato fries the other night, and I dipped each one in so much ketchup, it was ridiculous! I cannot get enough cold ketchup...that and I had to have an order of lasagna from a place called Redz the other day for lunch. They didn't put nearly enough sauce on that lasagna. Oh yeah, and I also had a piece of pizza from Sbarros at the mall the other night for dinner...with an entire bowl of sauce on the side :) Tomatoes...YUMMY!
In other news, I am feeling you move a little more now...not a lot, but more than last week. And the big news is that your Gramma, Grandpa and Auntie Em moved to Carolina Forest! Yay! They are now a very short, very convenient three miles down the road from our house :) I'm hoping we won't have to miss church, once you are born (like I did with Jadon), since you should be able to stay with them for an hour and a half, rather than go into the very germ-infested nursery. I know you'd likely survive it, but it's not my favorite thought. Besides that, Daddy and I could use an hour here and there to grocery shop, go on a short date????, and spend some quality time with your big brother, since he's pretty used to having our undivided attention. Guess we'll see how things go.
This weeks starts a rapid growth spurt for you. You will nearly double in size in the next few weeks. Yikes! I have my maternity clothes out and ready. You'll likely gain 7 ouces and grow over a 3 inches by week 20. Hopefully the same won't be said of me :/ Although I've found the humidity in the mornings to be unbearable, so I've taken a break from my walks on many days. It has been around 86 degrees by 9am lately and the air is so thick! Yuck!
Only three more weeks, until we find out if Jadon will have a baby brother or sister :)
