4 Months

I am at the 4 month mark in my pregnancy and feeling great. I am so happy that the morning sickness has subsided and I am back to my normal self. I have to say this pregnancy thus far has been very similar to my pregnancy with Ryder. The morning sickness was about the same, energy, etc. However, one thing is completely different...cravings (or should we say aversions). With Ryder I loved sweets, I always have and it was no different in pregnancy, loved carbs, and fruit to name a few. This time I have been avoiding these like the plague. I do not want sweets or carbs of any kind, for some reason they leave a very weird taste in my mouth, so I just avoid them. It is so strange for me not to want cookies, pancakes, ice cream and doughnuts, etc. I usually love those things, I actually kind of miss them, but I think my waistline will thank me later! I also have not been big on fruit this time because of their sweetness. I have loved sandwiches (for breakfast), eggs (not for breakfast), bacon-egg-cheese biscuits (from McDonald's) cheese, meat, pizza (for breakfast), pretty much anything hearty this time around.

This weekend I will be 17 weeks along, and so ready to find out if this little baby-on-board is a boy or a girl. I have to say this week has been going by very fast as we anticipate finding out if we will have another great son or daughter #1. 3 more days of anticipation!
