Symptoms: Still getting hit with some crazy fatigue out of the blue. Today I washed our sheets, cleaned the toilets in the bathrooms, sorted a bunch of mail, and cleaned out the refrigerator. I was on a roll and then suddenly I hit a wall and passed out on the couch for about an hour. I woke up groggy and have been trying to get back into the groove since then. Still, some days I feel a little better. I feel like I have developed restless leg syndrome. I've read that it's not uncommon during pregnancy. I feel like my legs get jumpy when I'm relaxing in the evenings and lasts all night. I also have a hard time sleeping. The doctor says it's hormones. I guess it's practice for when the baby gets here.
Cravings/Aversions: Today I've been craving what I can't have: deli meats. I want a turkey sandwich with swiss on a Hawaiian roll. I can have it if I microwave the meat but it's not the same. I also want a spicy chicken sandwich but I don't have the motivation to go out and get it. Mushrooms are back in the picture; I had some the other day and liked them just fine.
News this week: We had an ultrasound on Friday. It was amazing! I don't know how to explain it but it's like I don't always realize there's a growing baby in there. I think I imagine it the way I first saw it at 6 weeks. So to see it jump and move around when the lady poked around at my belly. . it was miraculous! I probably sound like every gushy first-time mom but now I know how they feel. It was amazing to know that it was moving around and I couldn't even feel it. And it looks like a baby! A tiny little baby. It's half me and half Carl and it's growing every day. I think it's sinking in and I can't believe how much I love it already.
