I feel SO. DAMN. PREGNANT.
I can't imagine what 30 weeks will feel like; I think my waddle has already started.
Baby is kicking regularly now and forcing me to eat things I usually don't EVER eat (my Wendy's cheeseburger was delicious, thank you) just in order to get through the day. About 10 minutes after giving into my cravings baby does a happy dance in my belly to let me know that the craving has been sated.
I gave up on the guilt that came along with my cravings yesterday for once and for all after having Jimmy Johns (with heated meat) for the second day in a row. It comes down to feeling sick the entire day and possibly puking versus eating something that I didn't intend to eat and feeling fantastic the rest of the day. I'll take the latter... especially when I only gained 1 or 2 pounds in the last 5 weeks. I think I'm looking pretty good! And we've come a long way from me not being able to eat anything.
A side note that I think is adorable:
Last night I told Shawn that the baby can see light through his/her eyelids (which are shut now) and suggested we use a flashlight to play with baby while it was in there moving around and awake. The baby should reflexively roll away from the light... well, baby went crazy for the light and started kicking towards it and going crazy. Shawn put his hand on my belly and projected the light over his fingers and the baby just went NUTS. S/He definitely knows when daddy is home, talking or near it at all; this baby just loves daddy already. So cute.
Baby is almost 5 inches long!

ReplyDeleteYou look great, Hill! I would definitely do the same thing about satisfying the cravings if it makes you feel good. Baby's wishes must be granted! :) That's so cool about the light, too. It must be so indescribably amazing to have a new life growing inside of you. I can't even imagine what it must feel like. Hopefully I'll find out someday.
