Cravings and Sleep


Dear Little One ~

A few mornings ago, as I pulled out of the driveway on my way to work, I was hit with a wave of nautiousness.  I chuckled to myself, and made note that I must eat before leaving the house not after arriving at work.  So I did just that the next morning, which didn't go over too well with my tummy.  Again, I chuckled, but not comfortably.

I wonder if the food changes I'm going through now are going to end up being some of your likes and dislikes as you grow?  If so, you sure have healthy tastes!

You don't care for sweets really.  Although you do like a little dark chocolate, but not much.

You absolutely don't like soda.  You DO enjoy mineral water.

Eggs over toast is out.  Cheese is tollerable.  Sandwiches aren't really cared for (so no more subway for me really).

You love fruits and vegetables, and rice as well.

Hands down, the favorite is Sushi!!  Every day, these last few days, I have had an order.  Mmmmm, so delicious!  I am not eating any raw fish, just the california roll, but sooooo yummy.  For a handful of days I craved it and finally felt comfort in my tummy once I went ahead and tried these, crossed with... mineral water :) 

I realized tonight, that although you don't care for sweets really, you do enjoy the salt.... soy on the sushi :)

A craving I certainly don't mind, and Jonah has announced he is VERY excited about "this baby", for who you are of course, but also because since my craving is sushi that means he will more often then not be getting it too! LOL

My sleep schedule has changed as well.  No more staying up crazy hours.  I have been taking a nap almost every day since a few days after I found out you were on your way, and bed time is early.... 8pm or so.  My body seems to be sucking up as much sleep as it can get since you are growing.

How life is created, and how a whole 'nother body can grow a new human being just amazes me.

I feel down where you are and smile.  You are in there.  You are growing.

Your heart should have started beating by now :)
