So Slow...

I am now 14 weeks. Doesn't it feel like time is moving very slowly? From week to week I continue the countdown but I never really feel like I am getting anywhere. I think also since I only have doctors appointments once every 4 weeks the time in between seems sooo long. Plus I do not have a belly yet so I dont really look or feel that pregnant. I am always anxious to get to the next appointment or milestone but need to learn just to enjoy where I am right now. Before I know it this will all be over and baby will be here. April just seems really far away right now!

Other than baby countdown Miguel and I have been on a pretty normal schedule. He is back at school and starting his studying for his national boards part II. He has it scheduled for mid November and I know he will be happy to put that behind him. I have FINALLY started to feel better... just a little bit of nausea usually mid morning and I am getting a little more energy back. I took a walk last night before dinner and it was great. The weather was perfect and I felt good walking. I have recruited Miguel to be my motivation/encourager because on my own I would never get off the couch. He got me moving last night and I hope he continues his good work. I need to remind myself how good it is for both baby and me and walk as often as I can.

The NC State Fair is coming in 2 weeks and I could not be more excited!! Miguel and I LOVE to go each year but this time I think will be the best ever. I have already started my list of food I want to eat... roasted corn, Al's fries, corndog. I know the list will grow and just hope all the yummies agree with my newly picky belly and tastebuds. It is amazing how foods I used to love I now dont like since being pregnant. I used to LOVE ketchup, putting it on everything and always using a ton. But now I could care less. Also, my favorite part of cake has always been the icing but now it is just too sweet and I would rather just eat the cake alone. I can't stomach anything breaded and just looking at chicken makes me feel gross. I dont understand, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME??? My dad says the strangest of all is the fact that I now like eggs. My whole life I have ALWAYS complained about the smell of eggs cooking and HATED the taste. My poor dad would have to listen to my constant whining and complaining of how his eggs were smelling up the whole house and making me sick. Well guess what, I LOVE scrambled eggs now. Every weekend that is my breakfast and it is so yummy. My dad just doesnt get it and neither do I. I wonder if these strange changes are normal??
