This little boy moves so much! It's almost creepy at times. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love feeling him kick and move, but sometimes it's just so crazy that after he does 16 backflips that I can't help but go, "Woah... weird..." lol. I know I'll miss it when I can't feel him inside me anymore so I'm definitely enjoy it while he still is.
Symptoms- My heartburn was so ridiculously bad a couple weeks ago. Like seriously it made me want to throw up at one point. I thought I was going to die. But the last week (knock on wood) it hasn't been too bad. Still daily, but very mild compared to what it had been. Also, I'm sooo super tired. I don't sleep well anymore due to the fact that at my last appointment the dr said Jack's heart rate was a little slow, but it was probably due to me laying on my back for the ultrasound- apparently our little boy didn't like that. So I'm pretty much freaked out now about how I sleep and obviously only sleep on my sides. I know you aren't supposed to sleep on your back while pregnant anyways, but if I did it during the night I just stayed there as it was sooo comfortable. But now I try to only sleep on my side and Alex is good at waking me up during the night when I accidentally roll onto my back and tells me to turn. But anyways, it now takes me 45 minutes to fall asleep and then I toss and turn all night because I hate sleeping on my side. I just wanna lay on my tummy! lol. Headaches are pretty much gone (knock on wood again) and are only very mild when I occasionally get them. Then, I guess along with being tired comes being lazy. I'm just sooo tired of getting dressed in the mornings. If I could just sit in bed allll day and do nothing, I would! I'm in sweats and t-shirts as much as possible (Alex loves it, I'm sure.). Clothes are my worst enemy. And I hate peeing in public because I usually have to wear 14 layers and it's just so hard to tuck everything back in, smooth everything out, pull everything down, and so forth. Peeing and getting dressed are daily work outs. It's ridic. And doing my hair and make up everyday now is over-rated... Alex must love how sexy I am these days.
Cravings- This past week it's been limes. I just want them. I told Alex the other day while at the mall "I just wanna munch on some crushed ice and bite into a juicy lime!" Weird? Idk. But it sounded so delicious... and still does right now.
Last appointment- Dr said everything looked good! Jack was weighing in at just over a pound which is exactly where he's supposed to be. I've gained 21 lbs so far, and it's kind of killing me cuz I've never weighed this much in my life, but I'm trying to tell myself to shut up and just take care of the baby. I think one of my post pregnancy fears is not being able to lose the weight. Call me shallow, but I'm just being honest. Also at my last appointment, the nurse gave me that orange drink stuff for my glucose test on my next visit. I'm not excited to drink that, although I've heard it just taste like flat orange soda. So we'll see!
Hope you all had a great Christmas. Alex and I were definitely spoiled more than we should have been. I know we weren't THAT good this year. ;)

It does taste like orange pop but way more sugary. Way too much for my liking.But what can you do?
I like the drink, so sue me! I'm sure you'll have no problem losing the weight, I was back into my pre preg jeans 1 week after, BUT that was with Dylan... The other 2 took longer! Oh how i remember wanting to lay on my stomach SO baaaaaad! I'm glad baby is doing good!
