I wanted to fill all of you in on some fun facts about this pregnancy with Carter.
I was sick (nausea, could not eat much and very tired) up until 15 weeks. From 15 weeks on it has been a joy to have him in my belly!
Carter ALWAYS is on the go. Whenever I am in doubt I get a kick or jab. I have not even had to break down and buy a Doppler and I am almost 26 weeks woo hoo!
So in the beginning I craved anything spicy and hot, Chili and Spicy V8 mainly.
I cant get ENOUGH of my so called "Freezer Water" All my water is frozen and when it thaws that is when I drink it. ANYTHING I actually drink has to be in the freezer so it is extra cold. I can't get enough of it! Its quite odd and funny.
Turn off's would be anything sweet. I am normally not a huge fan in general but in pregnancy I can totally do without. In pregnancy I am not a huge fan of veggies, but LOVE cheese. (Which is not the best since I have VERY high hereditary High Cholesterol.)
I was a HUGE fan of Cherry Pepsi...just typing it makes me want some. However right around 20 weeks I gave it up. Why drink my calories? Plus outside of pregnancy I NEVER drink soda. For some reason I crave carbonation...soooo I switched to ice mountain Carbonated lime water...omg yummm!!! I also drink tons of tea now as well. Mainly organic if I can.
Currently I am 25 weeks 4 days.
Gained: 23 lbs
BP: 116/76
Feeling: Great...been back to napping frequently. No complaints :)

- I'm a mother to a beautiful angel in heaven, as well as our Earth baby Carter. My life has been filled with nothing but happiness and laughter, however I also know ultimate sadness. I continue to try to live my life to the fullest, and enjoy making people laugh along the way. You never know when your life will change forever. Mine changed November 16, 2009, when we learned our daughters heart was no longer beating. Cara was born November 17th 2009. She was 2 lbs 11oz 16 in. Preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome took her from us. I now strive to help promote Preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome awareness. I also strive to help others who have lost a child. Its something no one can prepare you for, Its something that will forever be with you. We are happy to announce that our son Carter Allen was born March 5 2011 at 36 weeks 4 days weighing 7lbs 7oz. Carter brings such happiness and hope to our lives.

Thank goodness that the nausea has subsided!!!
Very exciting that Carter gives you the kicks & jabs you need for reassurance!! He's letting you know "Mommy I am doing ok!"
I hear you on the freezer water and everything being ice cold ... I was the same way!!
I didn't want anything to do with sweets either but for some reason now I am totally craving sweets all the time. STINKS!!! I am doing my very best not to give into the sweet tooth!!
Good for you for not giving into the Cherry Pepsi. I was doing caffeine free coke but I cannot even have that now either it upset my tummy & Nahols' as well!! Bummer.
So happy & proud of you!!! Loved reading these fun facts!!
So glad that you're doing and feeling great! :)
glad everything is going as planned, you're so lucky you're not a sweet person! since the nauseau stopped at 15 weeks for me all i have wanted is chocolate and ice cream! I'm trying to control my weight but I fear I may hit the 250 mark before this is over!!
YAY!! Great Post! And congrats on the BP! Thats a great number!
Pregnancy is so funny, our desires fluctuate so much! I too was sick my entire first trimester and every week that progressed, I wanted my food spicier and spicier. I didn't touch sweets- nothing sugary sounded appetizing so I understand that. Glad your little boy is active, it helps alleviate some of the worry. I'm hoping my next baby is as active as Claire was- she was good at reassuring me she was okay :)
