Fluttering into the Second Trimester

No meds November has been great so far! It's wonderful not having to get poked every morning and feeling pretty good most of the time. I'm still taking Zofran, and it's working well. I just have to make sure I keep something in my stomach at all times or I get a little queasy. Speaking of keeping food in my stomach, I've had the strangest cravings of all of my pregnancies! I'm craving fruit, broccoli and cauliflower, ice tea with very little sugar, and I'm drinking a lot of water. I rarely drink diet coke anymore. If I do, it's one every day or two. Now, for those of you who know me well - you know of my diet coke addiction, so you know how strange this is! I would easily drink 6 cans a day - or the equivalent in fountain, bottle, or whatever form it came in. It's pretty much all I drank all day long. And I normally HATE water! I only used to be able to drink it during and after a good workout. I'm glad that healthy cravings have come my way, and actually hope that they stick, even after I deliver! I plan on getting serious about getting in good shape next summer, so that would be a great start!

I haven't gained any weight yet. I actually lost some - thanks to Oh-so-icky October. But the belly has popped, and the maternity clothes have had to make their debut. I got some shopping money from the guys and got some new cute outfits, which I'm sure most of the people who have to see me on a daily basis are thankful for! I know they were getting really tired of seeing me in the same 2 pair of pants and 3 shirts that were the only items I had in my closet that would fit me for a few weeks! Will she wear the gray pants with the black shirt? Or the black pants with the gray shirt? Oh, we can't wait to see!!! LOL

I felt the first flutter of movement today! So the babies are ready to make their presence known! I think they are getting excited to show everyone whether they are boys or girls. :) I'm predicting one of each. I am usually right about things, so let's just expect that. ;) We will find out in December.

Next appointment is November 20th, so more info and pictures to come then!
