Pregnancy quirks

on December 15, 2011

Well I am half way thru my pregnancy now. Tomorrow we find out we keep the Crutchmer tradition of all boys or if a girl will sneak in to the mix! I really am glad I don’t get to pick. I would love to have a girl in one way and yet boys are awesome! I can’t go wrong. Thankfully God is in charge of picking that for us! Phew…

Ok before I forget the random things….

*Especially during the first trimester, I could not drink water with my meals. I would be nauseous if I did. If I drank something else, like kool-aide :) or coke it was much better….

*I apparently laugh a lot more! I get these laughing attacks at night right before bed. I can’t stop! Over nothing at all. And then I start laughing at myself for laughing. Matt has gotten quite the kick out of it.

* The old-fashioned candy “DOTS” taste fabulous to me! So random. I much prefer chocolate over candy but I have picked candy over chocolate quite a bit during the pregnancy.

*Chips taste fantastic too! Not that I didn’t like them before, but they certainly haven’t been a weakness of mine. SunChips in Harvest Cheddar have been a hit!

*Little “Blueberry” loves to eat in the middle of the night. I have had to get up SEVERAL nights to eat if I want to have a chance of getting back to sleep. However I have noticed if I basically eat a big meal before bed, I can get thru the night. I am sure the heart burn will kick in here soon. :)

*Although I have talked about food a lot it really has been a struggle for me to eat as much as I need too. The Joy of food certainly wasn’t there during the first trimester. And now still sometimes I have to force myself to do it. All the yummy Holiday food tho is helping. :)

* I drop things. ALL the time. It is like my brain is not getting the message to my hand that I actually have to squeeze things that I pick up.

*Migraines rocked my world for the first trimester but b/t now being in my second and going to a chiropractor, life has been much happier…. SO thankful. 

Overall, I have can’t complain at all. I am so thankful for this pregnancy and that God is entrusting another human life to me. I know I will need to depend on Him fully to do a good job. And that is exactly where he wants me.
