I think there's an ice-cream-o-holic living inside of me

[Phemomena]

all this baby wants is ice cream... all the time... she kicks and kicks and kicks until i give her ice cream... and THEN the sugar makes her hyper...

heehee...

okay... in all seriousness... pregnancy is going great... i'm quite healthy (except for a few UTIs.... ick) but i guess i can live...

my little girl (yes, i found out, sue me)... is doing fantastically... she's as happy as can be and enjoys torturing me by kicking at some spot on my side that makes me feel like i'm being poked/tickled (and not the pleasant tickling, but rather the one that makes you tense up and jump)... i think it's a game she plays... she kicks... gives me a few minutes to relax and then goes it again... i just sit there and twitch and jump spontaneously like i'm possessed... oh the joys...

my relationship with my husband (oh, yeah, we got married) is a little bit stressed since i'm not working and don't have much in the form of transportation (need him to drive me everywhere, there is nothing but hickville within walking distance) so it's taking a lot of adjustment for me to let go of my independence...

physically i guess you can say i'm looking good... 6 months and i can still fit everything exept my belly into all my old clothes (except anything spandex or drawstring... they still fit)... everyone asks me how far i am and when i say, they say "that far? really?!"... but when i go to the doctors, it's the opposite "that's it?"... this is one big little girl (long arms and long legs... god knows she isnt' getting that from me!!) and she keeps measuring more than she is... weight wise i haven't really been keeping track exactly, gained somewhere between 15-20 lbs so far, but i couldn't tell ya where (these boobs are a great new addition though, i think i'll keep em )

now... the day is quickly approaching when i'll be holding my sweet little girl in my arms and hoping i'll someday be able to find my abs again .... anyone have advice for me? hehe

luv ya all.. i'll be around a lot this weekend because i'm stranded in this house unless my fairy godmother comes and turns a pumpkin into a shining carriage...

phem

Congradulations! I couldn't wait to find out if I was having a boy or a girl either. Are you keeping any kind of journal? It was suggested to me and I didn't have the time for it...now I wish I had done it. I don't remember a lot of "firsts" anymore (ie. first kick, first hiccough, first morning sickness...athough I don't mind forgetting that one!). My little girl's almost 11 now. I can still remember my first visit to the OB though...I saw her heart beating on the sono. at 6 weeks. It's such a wonderous event to have a baby growing inside you...enjoy every moment!

FYI, there are ice-creams made without sugar...Healthy Choice is one of them. If sugar gets the little one going too much, give it a try! Best wishes to you and your little one!!!

Spatts wants to take this opportunity to remind you that Bryers All Natural does not contain a 4 inch paragraph of chemical ingredients used to replace "unwanted ingredients."




...off soap box.

i'm totally with you on the bryers part.... but i don't think that Reese Peanut butter cup kind falls under the "all natual" category, just by the nature of the beast!

but it has peanut butter, right?!? hehe!!


thanks all... other than being stir crazy and now without any watchable tv (the "trial" sat card just went down ) i'm doing well... baby's up right now, conversely so am i... i guess she's training me well already... actually i sleep pretty well, just woke up because i had to pee and now i'm up... at least i can sleep all day

My only advice is to enjoy...like I told Lobo just the other day - won't be long and she'll have Brittany Spears or the like full blast on the boom box and you'll be hollering at her to turn that crap down....for some reason 8 year old girls can not bathe without rockin' to Brittany these days.

I went out and bought Bri pink Nike's after we found out she was a she! You'll go nuts buying all the cute lil outfits . Make sure you dress her up allll frilly when she's young cuz she'll not allow it when she gets older!

Keep us posted ! Congrats on your lil princess too!
