After Awhile, Water Stops Tasting Good.

I have been very good about drinking enough water for me and baby this whole pregnancy.  At least 3 liters of water a day.  However, I think I hit the wall.  Water is just not quenching my thirst.  I know it should be the go to drink, but if I have to drink another glass, I'm going to freak.  I've started drinking more milk, but I can't drink it beyond the morning hours or if I have cookies.  I added a little bit of juice to my daily intake due to some tummy issues with the bathroom.  It's not like soda is a good option.  I might drink a little when I go out to eat, but I rarely drink it at home anymore. 

So here I am, forcing myself to drink water.  I do it for the baby.  I just wish that it would taste better.  I know I could drink Crystal Light, but even that doesn't sound to appealing. 

Not only am I not digging water, I'm also not very hungry.  I eat breakfast (cereal with extra milk and sometimes with a piece of fruit) and then I have a pack of fruit snacks about 2 hours later.  I then have to force myself to eat lunch by 1, only to eat again at 5.  Lunch and dinner I have to force down.  And I'm noticing that those meals are getting smaller and smaller.  I have no idea what's causing this. 

I'm getting a little afraid that it would be affecting the baby for the simple fact that I haven't felt Baby Boo move yesterday or today.  I'm sure it's because I haven't been that active and I haven't really tried to lay down and just feel the baby.  So today I'm going to try some cleaning and moving around and hopefully that will wake up the little one a little more.  I know that it's still early for me to feel the little one, so I'm not trying to worry too much.  I know I'm a worry wort so I need to put some things in the back of my mind.

I'm pretty stoked for this weekend though!  My best friend, Jenn, and her husband are planning on coming down here for a little fishing trip.  I just hope that it isn't as "cool" as they want it.  Between yesterday and today the weather changed about 6 times.  I haven't seen her since the end of November, so I'm pretty sure I need some "girl" time.  Besides, it'll be the first time that she's actually seeing the "bump".  Hell, she's the first of my friends back home that are seeing it!  It's been too long...seriously.

And that means it's only 16 days until we get to find out what the baby is!  (Well, hopefully)  I'm planning on drinking some OJ before we go, even though I really don't like OJ.  Why?  It's supposed to make the baby more active.  A more active baby = better chance of him or her opening their legs.  And I want the baby to show it allllll off.  I want to be able to tell my mom and dad and Jenn and everyone(!) what we have inside of me!

Lots of excitement in my world, let me tell ya.

Side note:  I found an old teacher on facebook today.  Mind you, I had a h-u-g-e crush on this teacher while in high school.  Seriously, he was gorgeous.  Now, I found him, I don't have the courage to add him, but I found out he got married!  *tear!*  No one ever thought that he would get married...a lot of us thought he was batting for the other team.  But I knew he wasn't.  Damn, he's married!?! :(
Yes, I know I'm knocked up and engaged to another man...so?

Until Next Time:
