21 weeks

Hmm, not much to report this week. Now that I am right in the middle of the second trimester I don't really have much that seems to change from week to week. I still feel great, the belly is growing and the baby is moving. I'm sleeping well and am nice and comfy in this little pregnant body. I really have no complaints at all. I feel normal and happy (and also very tired, but that is because school is a beyotch).

I really am trying to control myself, but I have been having such a sweet tooth this pregnancy. It is VERY unlike me to eat ice cream and brownies and milkshakes because in real-life (not pregnant) I try and avoid being a fat-fatty. But I can't help myself with this pregnancy. I will eat my usual hospital lunch of a gigantic salad from the salad bar and then after I've scarfed down the salad all I can think about is getting my hands on a cookie. I'll try and resist and eat peppermints or chew gum and if I'm still dreaming about a cookie (or to be exact: vanilla ice cream mixed with broken bits of chocolate chip cookie. Not chocolate chip cookie dough, but baked and broken up chocolate chip cookies mixed in to vanilla ice cream. That is what I'm always daydreaming about and I haven't been able to find it yet) then I'll either break down and buy one in the hospital cafeteria or I'll eat a smallish handful of chocolate chips when I get home.

I am trying to be healthy and good but I am extremely busy with this last semester of school and when I'm at clinicals I am on my feet all day and when I'm home I'm non-stop with Piper so I am cutting myself some slack and if I want a freaking cookie then I'm going to eat one!

In skin news: I'm starting to get little teeny tiny spider angiomas all over my upper body. I got these with Piper and they went away shortly after her birth. I could care less about them and, if anything, I actually sorta kinda like them because I've got one or two on my lips and I think they make my lips look rosy. I find it interesting the way my body is doing the exact same thing with this pregnancy as the last one - maybe that means this is another wibble girl!
