Kickin'!

Thursday morning at 5:30am I got kicked!  From the inside! It was pretty cool.  I've heard all these similarities to butterflies or gas bubbles, but really to me it felt like when a kitty stands on your belly, except going the other direction, and like a very small kitty.  Anyhow, it was pretty cool. Nugget and I headed to NYC with Alana this weekend visiting our cousins Jessica, Carmen, Michael, and Abby and good friend Celia. As an added bonus, we got to see Aunt Joyce and Uncle George over at the 'Carmichael' home today since Carmen is due to make them proud grandparents any time now.  Didn't get to meet the baby this weekend, but it was great to see them and the nursery.  Carmen also taught me that eating sugar makes the baby kick, and with the massive amount of eating this weekend I definitely got to put this to the test.  So far Nugget kicked for Mama Mexico fajita, a warm Shanghai chocolate soup dumpling, Waffles and Dinges, riding the subway, spinach gnocci with gorgonzola alfredo, Pinkberry frozen yogurt, Chanukah gelt. Someone's got a sweet tooth! Lets blame the baby.

Profile Progress- Month 4 Update

4 months (and change) along and not tons of news at this point, but I don't want to let the blog go cold!  Everything has been going great, generally feeling well, and we're getting more excited by the day.  Only downfall has been the 4 migraines I've had in the last month. Yuck!  My doc says that they are most likely triggered by pregnancy and I've got a few prescriptions from her lined up for the next time I get an aura.  No update on gender yet, but we have the "anatomy scan" scheduled for January 5th.  Anybody want to take a guess which it will be???  Not too much of a baby bump to show for all of this yet, but my weekly update Monday said Nugget is now about the size and weight of an avocado.  For now, just looking a little pudgy, and just enough of a bump to warrant ditching about half my wardrobe.  As an update to my last blog, my parents surprised me by baking a boston cream pie for Chanukah dinner last weekend which was very much appreciated.  Passover candy craving has passed over. Now it's all about grapefruit juice, cheese, and donuts (which I crave frequently and eat very seldomly).
