1- I have always been obsessed with crushed ice- I hunt for restaurants, drive-thrus and gas stations that have it. Well this pregnancy-lets just say I live for ice. I crave it night and day and I am never without a cup of it. We finally have a fridge with a crushed ice machine and I told E it is the best money we ever spent!!!!!! I have cuts and sores on the side of my mouth from constantly chomping on ice-is this normal?!?
2- For the first five months I was all about stale Gummi Bears, yes they had to be stale. I w0uld buy Gummi Bears lay them out on a plate and let them get hard for a week or so and then eat them.
3- I am now a carnivore!!!!! Usually, I am not a huge fan of meat (besides chicken and turkey). When I am pregnant I love meat- hot dogs, hamburgers, steak, pastrami-chicken-BRING IT ON!!!!!!! I still have to have my protein by 11 am or I start getting sick.
4- I cannot cool off!!!! Yes I know it is normal that pregnant women body temp runs higher but this is seriously ridiculous!!! I am taking full advantage of our new homes central air to the point where E put a sweatshirt on last night- this from a man who can survive any weather in a T-shirt. Maybe it has something to do with how active this little guy is- I'm telling ya he NEVER stops moving, he is by far my most active child (I am in trouble!) I am not complaining, feeling the baby move is probably the only thing I enjoy while pregnant.
5-I am a "Nesting" Maniac. I can't stop organizing, re-organizing, making lists, straightening etc. This week I re did all my photo albums because for some reason every picture needs to be edited, on the computer, backed up to a CD, printed and put in an album. Next week the plan is to go through all of Tay's old clothes and start on the Nursery!!!!
6- If I start crying I CANNOT stop. Honestly, I am so emotional that I will not let myself cry or I go into "the ugly cry" where I can't talk or breath for a full TEN minutes or so. The first time this happened to me was when I was sick, sick, sick and had a breakdown in my doctors office-she actually gave me a number for a psychiatrist. As I walked out of the office my mom called me and it started all over again-she later told me that after that phone call she was so worried that she immediately ran into her boss's office to see if she could by chance take a few days off to come to San Diego and help me. The next time it happened was when a stupid school cop tried to give me a ticket and to make a long story short basically accused me of having a stolen car with Utah plates- all of this when I was volunteering my time to take pictures of the kids at Taylor's pre-school. I started crying in front of him first (after holding it back for a half an hour), he let me go and was nice after that-than I couldn't stop my break down while talking to Taylor's teacher who was so concerned she got teary-eyed!!!
7- Just like most other pregnant women I am obsessed with any show like "Baby Story", "Maternity Ward" or anything else on TLC (I love Jon and Kate plus eight). I am feeling so sentimental about friends, family and my kids right now-feeling an intense urge to scrapbook, document, take pictures-anything to make a memory last.
**** I tag anyone who will be a sport and do it- come on it's fun to learn weird things about our friends!!!
