MATERIALS FOR INFANT CONSTRUCTION

You are what I eat.

35 weeks, and the countdown begins…

WHOA. Less than 5 weeks until my due date! Which could mean anything, really. I could go into labor in 2 weeks or 7 weeks! The suspense is killing me! (also killing me: my back, but what else is new?!)

I’ve had more cravings in the last few weeks than ever before, and they are INTENSE. Some cravings as of late:

-Lemonade (I drank a half gallon in a day)

-Snickers bars (and chocolate in general)

-ice cream (such a cliché)

-Sour Patch Kids

-any red meat (this one isn’t new)

-and the one I JUST got… SLIM JIMS. I want one NOW.

It’s really so convenient that we live only a few blocks from Wegmans!

Lunch!

Lunch!

31 Weeks

No time to update. Too busy eating everything!

———-

Seriously though? All the things that they tell you about pregnancy that sound so cliché are mostly true. I’m hormonal and cry at nothing. I waddle. I get out of breath trying to tie my shoes. I grunt and groan trying to hoist myself out of bed every morning. I eat whatever is in front of me!

The other night I stopped at Wegman’s to return a redbox dvd. What did I leave with? A box of Toaster Strudel and a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I haven’t eaten any of the toaster strudel yet, but it’s only because I’m afraid I’ll eat the whole thing in one sitting.

All of that being said though… I have never been happier in my life! My pregnancy is going really well, I’m healthy, baby is healthy, she’s growing, we’ve got her room almost done… Mike and I have been having so much fun together talking about the baby, enjoying our last couple of months with just the two of us… it’s really been truly magical… again, total cliché ;)

I ate my lunch outside today, it has been so warm and beautiful out since yesterday! I ate this soup 45 minutes ago and I’m already hungry again. Good thing I bought a Snickers too.

Gestational diabetes test this morning… YUCK. After I had my blood drawn I got a breakfast sandwich from Tim Hortons. What! I needed a reward!

My lunch of choice lately. I ate this yesterday and the baby literally went NUTS for like 3 hours straight. She was kicking and flipping so hard it was making me jump! I guess baby likes pizza. I mean, obviously. She IS my daughter. I haven’t updated much because my food choices have not been too exciting lately… I’ve been getting a lot of heartburn/acid reflux! Yet another thing they just don’t tell you about pregnancy. If I eat too much (or something too greasy/spicy) I feel like barfing for like 2 hours after. TMI? Sorry. It’s the cold hard truth!
