Thumpety Thump Thump
Little Thumper has been making his presence known more often now. Not sure if I am feeding him enough that is why he is kicking me to let me know, “Mommy…don’t forget about me….feed me please…more now that i’m getting bigger.” Once in a while when I patiently await, I can see my shirt give a quick jerk where the baby is kicking. Last week in the early morning, I had my husband see if he can see that quick jerking movement from the outside, because from my point of view the baby was kicking towards my right lower abdomen where I could not see. As he waited patiently Nars asked,”Is that the baby?” I replied,”Yup, that is him alright.” Such as nice little moment. We’ll see if we can video capture the outside movement when the baby is bigger.
Bring in the KING
My stomach is getting a little bigger each day, at least my achey back reminds me now and then. During sleeping hours, seems like I can’t have enough pillows around me. It has been a little more challenging rolling out of bed these days. I will need to have my hubby remove the bed risers so I don’t have to leap to the bed every night. During pregnancy, I realize that a queen sized bed is not going to cut it. Bring in the King!!
Spirits
As the blessed day approaches when we will soon welcome our little baby, my spirits are higher than it was in the first trimester. I’ve actually been a lot more sentimental and “Sappy.” Want to bring this baby into this world with love in our hearts no matter how murky the world can be right now. We pray that our little one brings light and hope to the world along with other babies being born each day.
Cravings
Having hypertension during my pregnancy and having to take medication and watch what I eat, I haven’t been able to really splurge on ALL of my fleeting cravings throughout my pregnancy. But this is how my cravings went starting when I found out I was pregnant. My cravings usually only lasted 1 or 2 days.
- Pizza ( which I later could not stand even looking at it during commercials)
- Pink Berry (Medium Original with straweberries, kiwi, and blueberries)
- Carne Asada (Alberto’s)
- Vanilla Ice Cream (Haagen Dazs)
- Tacos from Taco Bell (for some reason, alot of pregnant women I know…craved this.)
- Cuties
- Hot Dogs (did not eat)
- Tamales
- CURRENTLY > Berries…especially Kiwi and Strawberries with cream (gluten free from Wholefoods)
