So, I thought I would give you a update about the coming little one. Yes, he is still in there and either he's getting larger and it's all me! Often it feels like it is all me. Last pregnancy was my first full term
pregnancy so there was a certain element to it . . . I don't want to say excitement because there is excitement with this one as well, but a different kind of excitement. Last time I didn't know what to expect and yes every pregnancy is different but there are some things you know now that you didn't know last time. I'm really looking forward to holding my little boy! Last time I CRAVED shrimp but our budget didn't allow for it. I remember at about the 7
th or 8
th month Joshua commended me on not craving things like he thought I would . . . I informed him that I was craving things I just kept my mouth shut because I wasn't managing to crave cheap things. This time the first month and a half it was a bean burrito from Taco Bell and a
McD's Sweet Tea. NASTY! I can't say I craved it, I just knew it would stay down. I ate that EVERYDAY for about a month and a half. I do NOT even like the sound of Taco Bell anymore and I still like Sweet Tea but it doesn't have the same appeal it used to have. These last few weeks it has been strawberries and loaded hamburgers. McDonald's is good in a pinch, Wendy's is satisfying but my favorite is the Culver's Butter Burger . . . just the snack pack one. I love it! For $2.99 you get a loaded burger, fries, and a drink. If I'm out with Abby I give her the fries and we share the drink. I could eat that everyday but I
refrain from that as well! The strawberries on the other hand . . . Thank the Lord they are currently on sale and I do eat those everyday! Strawberries dipped one at a time in sugar! YUM! I also crave spoonfuls of sugar, just a spoonful. That IS disgusting, I know because I craved those when I was pregnant with Abby and after she was a few weeks old I remembered craving them and I thought, that tasted good and I decided to get a spoonful. It was gross. So I know that is disgusting. One other thing that is the same this time . . . ITCHY FEET! Sometimes it's my whole body but usually it is confined to my feet. I did not know it was possible for your feet to have an
unitchable itch! I can scratch and scratch and scratch and as soon as I stop they itch again. Last night I put lotion on them 3 times in the middle of the night and why it happens at night, SIGH! So after the lotion did NOTHING, well no, not nothing, my feet ARE softer, but after the lotion did nothing to appease the itch I put anti-itch cream on them . . . that didn't work, I tried
benadryl cream . . . . nothing, and so I resorted to Joshua's athlete foot spray . . . it had a nice cooling affect but that was all! Still itchy. They did this when I was pregnant with Abby as well. Having miscarried once, as strange as it sounds, I am thankful for these little things but I truly look forward to the day when I hold my little boy and my feet can FINALLY stop itching! Only 5 and 1/2 weeks or hopefully sooner!
