Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter to All! What a long day it has been, but I am somehow mustering up some energy for a blog since I have been told I'm not blogging fast enough ;)

I have been starting to have more good days than bad lately, which is a HUGE plus! I think PSK is starting to feel bad for me and giving me a break for awhile, atleast I hope. We had another appointment on Good Friday, which was amazing. We got to hear PSK's heartbeat and it sounded like she was running a marathon- just like mommy. No I do not know if it is a she yet, but we'll just pretend for now until I know the proper diagnosis. It was truly an amazing sound- best I've ever heard! I got poked and probed of course, but that all went as well as it could go I guess. They also informed me that my due date has now changed to October 31st. Yep, I'm having a Pumpkin. We have another appointment on May 8th for another listen of the heartbeat and a tummy check (whatever THAT means!) THEN...the next appointment after that will be the dun dun dunnnnnnn..... BIG ONE!! I cannot wait for that one. Then let the planning (& shopping) begin! Fun stuff ahead, people, fun stuff ahead.

I'm still growing, gained about 4 pounds so far and thank goodness for my Bella Band. It's the only way I'm surviving these days. Apparently everyone who said "Oh, you'll just be so tiny and probably won't even show until your 7 months...etc" has totally jinxed me and I have now kissed being able to button my skinny jeans goodbye for a while. Oh well.

As far as the food department, I'm still able to eat mostly everything I did before. I have been trying to eat more meat and am getting better at it, I just have to mentally prepare myself for it first. I do have a new craving. Pickle Beets- very random and odd, I know. But they are soooo yummy right now. Polished a whole jar last week and the Easter bunny put 2 more jars in my basket today! Strawberry Cheesecake is still going strong as well. We'll see what else makes its way to my tastebuds.

Sleep. Non-existant right now. I'm still peeing 4,243 times through the night, making it ever-so-impossible to get a second of shut-eye. I know that this will only get worse as the weeks & months pass by. Glorious.

Energy- slowly getting better. I'm just getting off of Spring Break, and I do feel slightly refreshed. I have about 2 more months of dance left and then will be able to relax for the Summer. Zumba is still going well- I do feel like I'm sending PSK through the "spin cycle" sometimes, but I'm taking it easy most of the time. She may be doing the "Beto Shuffle" when she comes out :)


Well, I'm hungry now and all hopped up on sugar from this afternoon. Time to go put something nourishing in the belly for PSK. I'm sure she'll thank me for it later by bouncing on my bladder.

Until next time,

Jenn :)
