Pregnant Thoughts...

Friends, I'm turning over a new leaf...I'm writing 2 times in the same month! Aren't you proud of me?! HA! Anyways...a couple things that I just thought I would share...
CRAVINGS:
I'm so bummed out...I haven't had any fun cravings! All my life I have always wanted to like pickles. I always thought that God would bless me with the craving of liking pickles when I got pregnant. No such luck! They're still disgusting. I also haven't had any "I need..." moments. I thought it would be fun to just once send Matt out on a late night run to get something that I just had to have. But I haven't been able to be that either! Sure, bread/toast has tasted delicious (especially early on) and breakfast foods were wonderful, but that's not fun. I always love that! I will say that for a few weeks, Toaster Strudels had a special place in my heart. But hey, what can I say...I've always loved food...and that just hasn't changed a bit! Maybe I'll get my pickle craving before little Siena graces the world...
BABY BRAIN:
Okay, we've all heard it - your head goes to the clouds when you get pregnant and your baby sucks out all the brain juice during pregnancy. But, shoot, it's so true! I have done the dumbest things lately! It's amazing - and yes, I'm going to blame them on the pregnancy...because at least now I have a decent excuse!! :) For my fellow teachers, you'll appreciate this: I scheduled spring parent-teacher conferences during MAP testing...literally right when the kids would be testing. I had to call all those parents and explain to them that I lost my mind and they couldn't come to the classroom at the scheduled time because their child is taking the biggest test of the year! Needless to say, that caused some questions.
How about this one...I signed my name as my maiden name...pretty sure I haven't been a Tromp for almost 5 years now. No comment there. :)
So, there you have it...some funny and very interesting (to me) things that have been going on lately. I just love it! I can't wait to share these stories with Siena one day...she's going to laugh at her mama...and I'll be laughing along with her!
BALANCE:
This was a new one for me! I had never heard that pregnant women can lose their balance more easily! I had been noticing that I would be walking normally and then all of a sudden feel like I was going to fall over! Or I would be standing and talking to someone and about fall into them! The strangest thing! It was happening enough to notice it, so I asked some "doctor friends" of mine, and sure enough...your center of gravity goes out the window when you have a bun in the oven! How funny!! I will say it did make me feel quite a bit better to know that it was normal to "look a little tipsy" when you're pregnant! HA!
