Cravings

I went a little crazy last week in the produce lanes at Sam's Club . Was it pregnancy cravings or is all this healthy eating making me want more and more healthy food? I thought the four cases of oranges and grapefruit I ate this winter was just a phase I was going through. All I know is that all this stuff is disappearing fast. I sneak into the kitchen when the kids are in bed and stuff whole kiwi's in my mouth. It feels so naughty. Last night I had an orange for dinner. Ya. That was it. This baby has taken over my abdomen and doesn't want to share with anything. Not even food.

Do you see the baby countdown over there? Less than five weeks to go! I am feeling it too. My hips and joints hurt so badly at night that I want to cry every time I roll my big belly over. But I am still torturing myself at the gym. I have to or I know I wouldn't even be able to get off the couch. When I am on the couch Lovely has a new game that she likes to play. It's called balance the book on Mommy's tummy and see how long it takes the baby to kick it off. She keeps telling me that she got her baby out of her tummy already and we need to get mine out too so we can hold it.

Other than the pain and the waddling and the not being able to eat I don't really feel too bad (Is it bad or badly?). I would tell you how big the baby is getting but I don't know because I have an aversion to going to the doctor. There's something about waiting in a doctor's office with three kids for two hours that I just can't get excited about. I've only been four times this whole pregnancy. The kids keep bugging me about it so I guess I should try to go again this week.

I'm excited that I got my office organized last month because I think that was my last big hurrah before the baby is born. I thought really hard about painting my island yesterday but instead I sat on the couch and knitted a baby hat while making my kids wait on me. Doesn't that sound more like what an eight month pregnant woman should be doing? I'm glad you agree.
