I do, however, resent my nightly post-shower lotion routine. I mean, this is ridiculous! Face lotion, eye cream, anti-stretch mark lotion for my belly, and fragrance free body lotion. (I've steered clear of my favorite scented varitey because I think it was the culprit of my Christmas break rash.) I suppose it does make me thankful that I don't have dry skin and only have to do this when I'm pregnant!
The little guy is still moving around like crazy and I love to feel him in there! He seems to like being way up on my left side and most evenings after dinner you can spot a big bulge on my belly.
I've been eating fairly normally. I haven't really had any cravings except the other night I really wanted some guacamole. It's probably because I saw a commercial for it, but I still haven't gotten it. I guess I didn't want it that bad. Also, I haven't been super excited to eat our weekly chicken meal, but that could be because it's really not that tasty and I've just gotten sick of it. I keep trying new recipes but haven't found one yet that's worth the effort. Aaaaand, there's the ice cream. In the summer I'm an ice-cream eating fool, but I usually take a hiatus when the weather changes. Mandy advised me that it's a good way to cool heartburn and I have certainly been following her advice. :)
The only other noteworthy comment is that I'm still wearing regular clothes. I've gradually worked in several maternity items but the jeans I'm wearing right now aren't. They're pretty low-rise which makes all the difference, but people keep commenting on how small I am for 5+ months along. Anyway, tonight I went through the stash of maternity clothes I've inherited. There are definitely a few gems that I can't wait to work into my rotation! Also, I packed up quite a few regular clothes that are out of season and/or too small. It was no huge spring clean but it did feel refreshing!
