Rocky Update

I'm pretty sure I'm starting to feel Rocky doing a little shadow-boxing. It's more prevalent when lying in bed, going to sleep. However, anytime I'm still long enough I might feel a little flutter. It's sweet and odd how real a pregnancy gets when you start feeling the baby move inside you.

"I Got It!"

Melanie and I were enjoying coloring at the table with a big pile of crayons. At first we go over the color names and we draw shapes (her "purple" is freaking adorable!). Every time a crayon rolled off, she said "Uh-oh!", looked down and starts to teeter on the edge of the seat trying to grab the crayon. So I quickly say, "I got it!" and retrieve the crayon. Well, Melanie begins to realize that catching crayons is more fun than coloring, so she starts to drop them on purpose and announce, "I got it!"

Time to ROCKy

A little prego update:
I'm in the second trimester and thank goodness the morning sickness has stopped just as easily as it did with Melanie. That I can definitely do without!
I'm still not gaining weight yet, which I contribute to my cravings being more healthy this time. With Melanie around this time I couldn't get enough of chips and Butterfingers. Now I don't want any candy and I'm all about gala apples & fresh pineapple. However, I probably could consume a whole bag of Cheetos if there was one in front of me. Yumm.
Even though I haven't gained weight, the weight I have has certainly shifted. So I am now sporting the beloved maternity clothes. A friend mailed some hand-me-down tshirts and shorts. Then Becky and Betsy stopped by over the weekend and unloaded the maternity clothes. I took the larges and extra larges and shipped the smalls & mediums off with Becky to give to Heather (who's due April 14th!). Such great outfits - makes me wish I'd be pregnant forever!
The Lovenox injections aren't bad... my belly bruises a little, but no one sees my belly anyway. I shoot myself while I'm cooking dinner, that way I have some time to let the medicene sink in before Melanie crawls all over my belly. :) I've only missed 1 injection, so I think I've got a good system down.
Well, that's all for now! Back to Melanie time!
