Week 20

There is no hiding my belly these days - I now look pregnant in every outfit and people that I meet are starting to know without me telling them.  It's kind of neat that the whole world is in on the pregnancy now.  I went to Aquacize twice this week and I think the stretching is really good for me - I have been really achy around my belly.  Pretty sure it is just ligaments stretching out as this balloon keeps getting inflated! 

A word about cravings: yesterday we had lunch at 13th Ave Coffeehouse and I ordered a mango lemonade.  Jeff and I noted that, before I was pregnant, I was not a big fan of lemonade.  Now I order it frequently out at restaurants.  He explained that since the baby was half his I am taking on some of his preferences!  Must be so - I sure have more of a sweet tooth than I ever did before.  Some of my most common cravings are:

Chocolate Milk

Big League Chew Bubble Gum (Original Flavour)

Brown Tootsie Pops

But don't worry - these remain rare treats I have only about twice a week.  Ok, maybe double that for the chocolate milk...  Come to mention it, skim milk has been going particularly fast in our house as well.  Can't seem to drink enough of it.  Think we are going through almost two 4-litre jugs a week between the two of us. Also, peanut butter and apples and oranges.  Needed a steak this weekend and that was satisfied out at Table 10 last night.  They do an amazing beef tenderloin.

Ok, enough musings about food from an always-hungry prego (I should go eat some breakfast).  Here is my belly this week!  Yay - I'm pretty again...
