I am turning into a Hound Dog! Siff. Sniff.
I am not bothered by this new character trait because I have always had a keen sense of smell, I am used to it. I actually have been enjoying it so far. Besides the interesting smells creeping out of my trash can at work, I have been able to really enjoy my bosses new shampoo, Ryan when he has just gotten out of the shower (but please Ry, lay off of the body spray), the smell of the Easter Lilli’s still blooming in my living room… I can deal withthe bad smells because I have already trained myself how to do it, but I am so loving that I can enjoy the subtle smells that I would not normally notice.
Cravings… I have actually had a few. I don’t know if I would necessarily say that they are cravings, more like food items I have been in the mood to eat all while still experiencing the sickening sight and thought of food.
Friday night I really really wanted Spaghetti-not just any Spaghetti, Spaghetti from Carabas. It was glorious. I put a rather large dent in that plate! Sunday I really wanted a Cookies and Cream milk shake with rainbow sprinkles on top. I did not get the milk shake but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I am glad that I seem to have some sort of self control giving the fact that there are very few things that I can eat right now. And, yesterday, I really wanted Spaghetti O’s. Gross. But, you know I went down to the 7-11 and picked myself up a can.
What else is going on?
I, for the first time in my life, am wearing a shirt that is actually filled out in the top (if you know what I mean). Woohoo! For the first time in 23 years I feel like a woman. I know it is weird but I am so excited.Woop-Woop. I don’t even care that I can’t touch them.
Ryan is thinking about looking for a new job. We have been really really praying about this and would ask that all of you would join in praying. Ryan loves his job but feels that it would be better for our family if he looked into different options and opportunities that might be more “stable”. So, we don’t know what the Lord has for us regarding this situation but I know that whatever it is will be for our good and His glory.
My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:14
I teach tumbling on Monday nights. Last night I got the bug and wanted to make sure that I was still capable of doing it myself and, so, I did one. 1. Every muscle in my body stretched. Man I am out of shape! 2. Ryan saw me do it and told me that I wasn’t allowed to do it anymore because I am pregnant. I forgot.
I think I am going to have a boy.
Preggie Pops. I bought them. They are supposed to be a natural remedy to easing morning sickness. They don’t really work for me. A few of them helped but the others were either too sour or just didn’t work at all. Mints help a little bit and so do Slurpee’s but all that sugar makes my teeth feel disgusting so I really need to try and find something else. Good news… the nausea feeling is dissipating. I think it gets a little bit better everyday. Hopefully this means that one day it will be gone.
