Oh my gosh, it's been over a month since I last blogged. I am so lazy! Actually, no, I'm just tired all the time from
makin' a baby! I'm finally over that first trimester (I'm 15 weeks right now), so in theory, I shouldn't be as tired as I was. Funny, I'm not experiencing that Golden Phase I remembered from my first two pregnancies. I don't feel quite as drained, but I have to say, there's still nothing that sounds as good as a nap! Everything's going well with the pregnancy, though. I'm bigger than I would've thought I'd be, this early on, but the midwife said at my last visit that she only heard one heartbeat in there. So it must just be a "third pregnancy" thing, where my body is pretty much going through the motions... it's an "expert" at this stuff now. Whatever! I haven't been having any fun, strange cravings. I do seem to want more fresh fruits and vegetables than usual. More than that, though, I seem to have aversions to food. I can't stomach the idea of pork chops, which I usually enjoy quite a bit. I'll sit down in front of other things, and I lose my taste or desire for them less than half-way through. It's frustrating, trying to make up weekly menus. If I had my way, we'd eat tomatoes, cucumbers and watermelon every night!
I do have a couple of fun quotes. The #1 fun quote for now is one Josie made when her Daddy was dishing up some ice cream for her:
"Do you know what's better than ice cream? Family." Not to be outdone, Lindsay had this to say, earlier that same day, when we were pretending to be running from Pirates:
"My most important treasure is my sister, Josie." These girls are out to make me cry, I tell ya!
