Sweet Tooth, belly playing

I have to say that I have developed a serious sweet tooth. I had one when I was younger -- and that was probably because we weren't allowed to have sugar as kids, so when I grew into a teenager and could get it on my own, I sometimes went a little bonkers with it -- and baby has seemed to have drawn it back. I think about a dessert after every meal; although I don't actually get one, so that's probably good.

Right now I'm really into cobbler and biscuits!! I'm still an ice cream snob (very picky about my brands and won't do "off-brands"), but I could eat cobbler all day long. And Pillsbury biscuits (the big ones, not the small ones!) are just heavenly!!! I haven't really had any cravings like pickles and ice cream though...hmm...no, I take it back. When I was first pregnant I ate some green olives and ice cream, haha!

My favorite thing to do right now is to watch baby move on my belly. I could watch him all day long! I can poke at him and he'll poke me back, it's just too cute. Of course, sometimes when I poke or disturb his happy little home, he punches back with a vengeance...and, although it sometimes hurts, it always makes me a laugh a little. I could seriously do this all day long. Although lately, after he has moved around a lot, it has been making me a little nauseous - has anyone else experienced this?

I still can't believe I am where I am today! I am just completely in love with the little creature inside of me..he goes with me everywhere, keeps me company, plays with me, makes me laugh, I'll rub my little belly and talk to him or tell him goodnight...ahh there's really just no other experience like being pregnant. And after 3 years of heartache, I honestly never believed I would be in this position. Even with all of the nausea and uncomfortableness and physical misery he has cause me, words just cannot describe how thankful I am for my little blessing.
