*Gasp!* My baby counter has moved from triple to double digits! Something about that makes me feel like I could give birth any day, even though I'm still 3 months away. Regardless, I'm no where near ready for my third baby...nothing is ready. I have a lot to do.
I gave up on yoga. I couldn't do half the positions and I felt like I was wasting time. So, I gave in and tried water aerobics. Let me tell you, that class kicked my butt! They give you these "weights" that are meant to float but you have to keep them underwater in the deep end so not only are you working your arms but also your legs so you can stay afloat. And although I was the youngest in the class, it wasn't by much. That made me feel better. I came home and craved chocolate chip cookie dough and could probably have downed a whole gallon of milk. Don't know why exercise makes me crave sweets, sort of defeats the purpose doesn't it?
Other than that, I had another check-up today with my midwife. According to her, I haven't gained as much weight as I thought I had, and I'm totally for being told I haven't gained that much weight yet. I go for my glucose test in two weeks, I'm hoping for a clean bill of health. I'm only measuring a week behind, which is great because last month I was measuring 3 weeks behind. My headaches are pretty much gone. Instead of daily headaches, I get them about once a week which is much more manageable. The baby kicks and moves a lot more, and, even though I would describe myself as a light sleeper, I can sleep through her movements. Hayden loves to feel for her moving, he thinks it's so cool. Roman could care less.
Nausea is gone. Woohoo! As long as I eat a decent breakfast I feel pretty good throughout the day. I'm usually in bed between 9:30 and 10pm, though, because I can't get past how tired I always feel. Cravings include diet sodas, scrambled eggs with ketchup, pasta, McDonalds, chocolate milk, and mashed potatoes. Count down with me, 99 days to go!

Ew! Eggs with ketchup?! Who are you... Dad? Anyway, glad you are feeling better. I wish I could be in bed earlier than 11pm! I crave chocolate milk too! And that is so true, about sweets after exercise. I always want a huge diet soda!
Being pregnant is such hard work. You really do "loan your body out" to your baby. I am glad you are feeling better, too. By the way, I like eggs with ketchup.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. That is so exciting. Did I hear that you were expecting a girl? I'm glad that you are in the double digits. My oh my is it hard to be pregnant. You are looking great!
I'm so glad your pregnancy is going so well. Especially in the heat of the summer. It doesn't sound like you're too uncomfortable. And, way to go not gaining much weight!! I'm nervous about my first appointment when they say--You gained 30 lbs!!
I'm not even pregnant and those foods all sound good to me. Even the eggs with ketchup. But I'm glad you are feeling okay and I think it's awesome you are exercising!
