17 Days

Only 17 more days until we get to see baby on the ultrasound machine!  I am so excited, I just countdown the days until week 8 then week 9... then we'll be at week 10!!! Our appointment is at 7:30am so by the time people on the west coast wake up and get to work we should have photo's and news to share!!!

This weekend was probably a 7 out of 10 for me... although I looked and felt good for the most part, things always seem to slow me down.  First, we planned to go up to Tennessee to get some pumpkins and go through a corn maze... just have some cheap October fun!  We were about go when suddenly I felt sick to my stomach... so instead we went to Walmart and got the fixin's to make homemade caramel apples... got to admit though, they turned out really good (and yummy!) ...I just hope Ryan or myself doesn't pull out any fillings or teeth, haha!

Yesterday I had my shortness of breath again, apparently because of baby I now have 10% more blood in my body now and so I realize the need for more breaths and although my heart feels like it's racing it's just beating faster than it was because of all the blood circulating in me.  It comes and goes but once it comes I have to sit down and take a breather... my pilates has been helping a lot with this, because there are breathing techniques with the stretching... also putting my hands over my head and straightening my back really helps too.  My Pregnancy Tea (by Traditional Medicinals) has also been a great help, I can have 4 cups a day and just sip on it through the day.  


Aside from that here's my latest cravings/aversions:

Cravings: Cheesy things (cheesy tots, cheese fries, cheeto's, cheese & crackers, cheesy pretzels, cheeseburgers)

Aversion: Beef (I can eat a burger, but just thinking of: fajita's, stir fry, pot roast, roast beef... makes me wanna hurl)
