21 weeks
So far everything is going well. I can feel little kicks and flutters ever so often and get a warm feeling in my heart. It is looking like the heat is here to stay, so our full days lounging by the pool have come to a stop. Now we are positioned right in front of the wall A/C unit Jon installed for me with a bottle of water and popsicle in hand.

I dont think i have ever drank this much water in my life or even craved it. My beloved Diet Coke has gotten benched. Its on to water and none caffeinated liquids. In my morning Diet Coke's place i have found Starbucks passionfruit iced tea to be amazing accompanied by a plain bagel with lots of cream cheese. That way i can say i am having dairy. lol I have also reverter back to my child years and reacquainted myself with the famous peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I have found myself eating two-three of these a day on the good ol' wheat bread that sticks to your teeth. It must be a sensory thing. Instead of having those weird cravings that most pregnant women brag about, i have just fallen in love with food that i wasn't so keen on before. My husband will be ecstatic to find real bacon in the fridge. I can't get enough of the stuff. And of course, sweets. If you knew me before you would know that i wasn't a huge sweet fan. Now i cant get enough. Cookies, cupcakes, pop-tarts, you name it I like it.
Even though I have been eating healthy... for the most part, I have come to want Winston to get only the best. I read that by now he can taste what I have been eating, so fruits and veggies have become a huge part of my meals. My thinking is if he tasted good healthy food now, then come time to eat solid foods he wont fight me.

This last month is starting to slow down. The days are feeling like weeks. Only one month until my amazing husband returns home for good. I am so excited! I have found myself trying to keep as busy as possible to keep it off my mind. Not gonna lie these next 32 days are going to go by very very slow. I will just have to find another project to work on. So happy to say that my Thank you cards are finally done and ready to start sending out when we receive registry stuff. Every ounce of me is wants to start working on the nursery, but i told Jon i would wait for him. After all he does have to put everything together. So i guess if anyone knows of good DIY projects that a pregnant woman can do let me know!

    The cold part. Freeze that puppy and put it on a pulse point to cool your core down. Or on your lower back? I needed a warm version to get rid of some allergy swelling and sty in my right eye. But, when it said works for mommies-to-be, I thought of you!

    Love you!
