Pregnancy Thus Far

So since I am half way done with my pregnancy,I thought I might journal how its been going.

Morning Sickness: I have been one of the lucky ones this pregnancy...I was only sick for maybe 3 weeks (weeks 8-10) and I didn't even really throw up. I just felt nauseous at night and ALL food sounded gross to me. Actually, ALL food sounded gross for about the first 3 months. I actually lost weight instead of gaining.

Fatigue: I haven't had too much fatigue until lately and thats partly because I have been sick and for the past couple months I have been working two jobs.I actually have felt better through pregnancy than I have the past couple years. Weird, I know.

Moodiness: I think I have been pretty good over the past 5 months I have been prego. I am sure that Jesse will tell you differently but I don't think it has been too bad. Random things tend to bug me more easily and I can cry at anything, I mean ANYTHING. ie: songs, tv shows, movies, books, commercials, magazines, EVERYTHING!

Food Cravings: The only constant craving has been ice, SONIC ICE, that is. I eat it all day/night long. (Jesse hates it b/c he constantly has to listen to me "chomp") I also seem to like meats and cheese ALOT more. All my other cravings only last for a couple weeks and then I want something new. Those have included: hot & sour soup, Paradise Bakery cesar salad, pizza, flavor blasted goldfish, sparkeling cider.

Food Aversions: Mexican food, cake, candy and for some reason I really don't like water but I force myself to drink it.

Other Symptoms: The only other things I have really noticed are I get horrible headaches on and off and I pee 47230487230742038 times a day. Sorry if thats TMI but I can't help it. Its actually gotten to the point where I get mad cuz I always have to go. Too bad I still have 20 weeks left of that :-(

Showing/Not Showing: So according to everyone I DON'T look pregnant, at least I haven't the past 20 weeks. Everyone looks at me like I am crazy when I tell them I am pregnant and how far along I am. I get the "You're so lucky" blah blah blah but because I'm not showing is still doesn't seem real. I think I have started to show more this week, so we will see what happens. No maternity clothes just yet!

I think the coolest thing that has happened lately is I can feel the baby move, mostly at night. I think the best way to describe it is like "popcorn popping". I haven't felt any distinct kicks or jabs yet...hopefully that happens soon so Jesse can feel too. Sometimes I think I am just making it up in my head but its been 3 weeks of that now so I am pretty sure its the baby! So I am excited to see what the next 20 weeks will be like. I can't believe it has gone by so fast. We still have so much to do!!!
