So we just got back from Live Free or Die Hard. . . .It was good. If you like die hard movies, you'll like this one. entertaining. yep. . . .but yeah, i'm eighteen weeks today. somehow that makes me in my fifth month of pregnancy, although i don't really get how?? but yeah, woooo whoooo, soon i'll be half way done!! i don't have much new to tell this week. had my first craving-which was REALLY weird. i craved a McDonald's cheese burger????!!!! who craves that?? i don't have any idea why i craved it, but it was basically unbearable. i finally gave in and got one, but i don't even really like them?? i think they look gross, let alone how they smell. . . .but yep. mcdonald's cheese burger. . . .yuck. . . .
actually food has been the most difficult part for me lately. i've been able to start working out more again, as i'm getting more and more energy back and although my job is basically a daily workout with all the baseball, volleyball, swimming, walking and child carrying i do, it's nice to be back in a gym. but the food is hard to control for me. like eating healthy isn't the hardest thing, but knowing what to eat and in what portions is. it's great being married to noah because he's such an amazing cook and he can make pretty much any crap i'm craving healthy (save maybe the mcdonald's cheese burger, but i don't think i'll be craving that again anytime soon. . . .) but allll i want to eat is starches. they make me feel sooooo much better in terms of any sickness i have during the day plus i have had so many more food aversions than i have cravings since i got pregnant and starches are so plain i don't have any really bad aversions to them. but the thing is the baby has come up far enough now (i'm only 5'3" so it doesn't take much for my uterus to be taking up half my tummy) that eating in large amounts or things that are starchy is getting really hard because it hurts my stomach to expand that much. who knows?? maybe this is normal?? i have no idea. but yeah, so i went and bought a pregnancy book yesterday for nutrition and i'm gonna read that. well, hopefully i'll read it. we've been give like a dozen pregnancy books at this point and read none of them, sooo yeah. i'll just have to motivate myself!!
also, i think i may have gained some more weight, which would make my doctors happy!! but it is really hard for me. like i keep telling noah i can't imagine being any bigger and we just laugh because i know i have soooo much more to go and am going to get sooooo much bigger, but seriously, I already feel HUGE!! it's weird to have to be focused on gaining weight when most of my life has been focused on keeping it off, but i was told i really needed to gain by the next appointment or we'd have issues, so i am hoping that i am actually gaining weight and not just getting bigger. regardless, i'm pretty sure i'll still be below what they want me to be, but maybe i'll just be a late gainer?? the baby is on target, so that's all that matters to me.
i haven't actually really felt the baby move this week, which always freaks me out because it makes me scared that it's like dead and we won't know until the ultrasound on the 17th....that would suck!! who knows?? maybe they're just being less active than usual since i've been feeling under the weather. oh yeah, and we started registering today at babies 'r' us. it's kind of funny because me and noah both could care less about pretty much everything, so we're both like "ahh, you like this??". . ."i don't know, sure" and that is pretty much how we do registering. at least i found a car seat and stroller i like that is neutral enough that it should work for future kids despite the sex they are. noah was really cute while we were there because he was just wanting to register for all the toys. he was like "is this young enough for it??" "how about this??" and he has been dead set on getting those "baby on board" signs so he searched the whole store for them before he would let us leave so he could get one. he's a very good husband and i can already tell he's gonna be a very sweet father.
but yeah, that is about all i have to report this week. plus i have some kind of a cold and have been feeling crappy for the past four days, so i think i'm gonna turn in early since i don't have school tomorrow for once and can get a TOOOOOONNNN of sleep. well, enjoy the pictures of my ever expanding belly. . . . .see you next week
