i am happy to report this week was a smooth and easy one. i am feeling so much better and have finally been able to get some much needed rest at night now that my cold is better and i am not congested anymore! i feel like my appetite has picked up a bit, but i still have not gained any weight, still weighing in 2-3 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight. i am noticing my belly getting bigger and bigger and am feeling more movement! i usually feel movement when laying down at night, but now if i am sitting or being still sometimes i can feel him. it's a very comforting feeling! jarad hasn't been able to feel him yet, but i think he will be able to in the next couple of weeks! i got some house stuff done, cooked dinner every night, did some more organizing and got in a few workouts, so i would say that although i am still going to bed early at night i have had more energy during the day! and i have been getting up before bowie every morning and getting ready, which is a nice change. these little changes definitely help me feel more productive and on top of things.
i had strong cravings for cookies and cream ice cream with bowie, and i am not much of an ice cream person. but this time around i have a new flavor that i can't get enough of, it's the "private selection" brand from kroger stores and it is salted caramel with truffle bites. OMG it is so good! it's been a good week, so i guess sometimes no news is good news, and hoping we can all stay healthy!
