Little baby news

I never really thought of myself as someone who has pregnancy-related cravings. When I was pregnant with Amelia I would occasionally crave fruit-flavored drinks and candies, but that's about it.

Since becoming pregnant I've had a hard time tolerating some of the things I used to enjoy, like sweet desserts and, oddly enough, water. I used to drink water with lunch and dinner most days. Now every time I used to drink water I'm substituting tea or lemonade (both of which contain a lot of water).

Last night I went to the fridge only to discover that we were completely out of lemonade. No lemonade, no pink lemonade, no limeade, nothing. I felt almost panicky, "What will I drink now?" Luckily, Mike and I found some lemonade, with real lemon juice, in the complex vending machine. We now have limeade in the fridge and concentrated lemonade in the freezer, so it's all good. So, if I come by to visit any time soon, keep some real lemonade on hand for baby and me.

Yesterday, while writing my earlier blog entry, I am reasonably certain I felt the baby move for the first time. There was a little thump on the left side of my abdomen, followed by another thump, and then another. At this stage it will probably still be uncommon to feel movement, but it's comforting when you can feel that the baby is there.
