Best Moment this week: We had a whirlwind of a weekend – lots of people, lots of activity – jam packed into 3 days! It was great to see my sister who had not been home since Christmas. On Monday, we got to hear GB’s quick heartbeat, averaging 145 bpm. I’ve read women describe the sound as ‘galloping horses’, but it sounded like a windy day to me. It was awesome!
Gender: We are due to find out in late July / early August, but we’ve chosen to be SURPRISED!
Movement: not yet
Food / Drink Cravings: Chef Point Café in Watauga, TX (near Ft. Worth) - I could go on and on about this restaurant that some people we met at the wedding this past weekend told us to try out! Now YOU need to Google it, go and try it! Don’t let the look of it deceive you – it’s in a Conoco Gas Station. I’ve got 7 words for you…Lobster Bisque in a toasted bread bowl
YUM!
What I miss: Johnny, we are apart during the week days
Sleep: sleeping well
What I am looking forward to: spending this coming weekend in Tyler! Hard to believe I have not been there since our ‘interview’ back in April.
Symptoms: Sad to report, my symptoms have not yet improved, but rather digressed. I am back to waking up nauseated in the middle of the night (needing to eat) and every morning, similar to how it was in the first few weeks of my pregnancy. Just like clock work, I have thrown up every other morning for the past week. Hoping this will soon pass…
