He’s growing. Well, he better be growing, because I’m growing. I’m bigger now than I was at nine months pregnant with either of the girls and I technically have three weeks to go. Good thing this baby is scheduled for next week. My abs are shot – when I get up from lying or sitting down, I have to put my hands under my stomach and help my abs lift my back straight. Sometimes I forget and realize I’m walking around bent at the waist. It can be embarrassing in public. 🙂
So what’s a girl to do? Especially when after not craving sweets for the entire pregnancy – and being repulsed by them – I am now craving sweets. Anything sweet really, although my typical favorites of cookies and brownies are toward the end of the list while myy usually not first preferred of cake and ice cream are at the top. Very strange indeed.
Speaking of ice cream, have you seen the ice cream aisle lately? I don’t buy ice cream that often and when I do it’s usually my standard mint chocolate chip. We rarely get it though – I think it started when we were first married and didn’t have the extra money for junk food. We barely had the money for real food. So we just got used to going without. All this to say, hello??, has anyone seen the ice cream selection lately? Edy’s has limited edition girl scout cookie ice cream from Samosas to Thin Mints, y.u.m. and Breyers has every candy bar imaginable chopped into it. Again, y.u.m. I settled on Fried Ice Cream from Breyers because I grew up on Chi-Chis fried ice cream and I was waxing nostalgic. It’s good, very good, but not quite as good as Publix’s version. Alas, I don’t live in the South, so no Publix here. I’ll settle for the Breyers version. Needless to say, I will continue growing over the next week and half whether baby boy does or not!

I’m craving sweets all the time too, especially chocolate cake and any kind of ice cream. I really wanted a smoothie last night at 12:30. Does this mean I’m pregnant? ha or does it just mean I’m going to have intense cravings when I actually am pregnant?
