How is Mama Feeling?

Weight Gain: Same as last week +1 pound putting me at 97.8 lbs
Exercise: Still going on walks in the morning/running after two toddlers all day
Craving: Lemonade, chocolate, and pumpkin anything
Eating: Cheerios, string cheese, pasta, shrimp, and chicken


Symptoms:

• Tired: Going to bed around 830/9pm 
• Heartburn: Heartburn after eating especially at night when I lay down
• Stuffy Nose 
• Crazy Dreams
• Sore breasts again
• Itchy belly: Definitely growing

This week when I was making the boys lunch I felt a big kick on my left side. That was the first time I felt a kick without laying down and actually waiting to feel for movement. I couldn't help but smile! I love, love, love this part of pregnancy and I can't wait for more kicks from our little boy or girl. :)
  
Looking Forward To: Fall! I love leggings and over sized sweater weather. And ofcourse pumpkin muffins, pie, and bread. Yummm!

Never Forget 9/11
