Pregnancy Cravings and Aversions ...

So, like many other pregnant women, I have both cravings and aversions ... I have had to buy soup at lunch every day for a few weeks now because I seem to love soup. Then today, I had just a strong craving for a snickers bar I had to walk all the way to the vending machine to buy it. Usually I don't even like snickers bars ... so weird!! I love all types of fruit right now.

As for the aversions ... food in general has kind of been a hard topic for me. I don't feel like eating a lot. Meats are not as bad as last time but not good either. I have leaned towards bland breakfasts (just milk and special K). I am trying to drink water but I am having a really hard time getting enough down!

Standing on her Own!!

So Jemma has started to stand on her own now, it only lasts for a second when she lets go of something and I think she doesn't even realize she is doing it. But her balance is much better and she is getting quite a bit of leg muscles that she is starting to stand on her own :)

Warrior Dash!

So Mike, me and Jemma went down to southern MD to watch Candice do the warrior dash. It was a ton of fun! I signed up for it but couldn't do it because of BabyBot2 ... :/ I sold my ticket on Craigslist and met up with the guy to pick up the ticket at the event. I am hoping I get to do the event next year. I did get quite a bit of sun even though it was cloudy. Jemma had a good time too and the MP got to watch her for a little bit while we all watched the race. Afterwards we went back to Hughesville and ate lunch and hung out for a few hours before heading back home.

Jemma is Cruising!

So Jemma is getting quite proficient at cruising furniture now. She stands up and sits down with no trouble at all now. Plus she is starting to walk along furniture as well. She does it all the time on the living room couch and the ottoman. She also likes to cruise around her little play table.

8 Months and Happy Mothers Day!

So today Jemma turned 8 months old and it also happens to be Mothers Day!! Unfortunately we didn't do much ... I was sick and there was a ton of laundry. Mike had to mow the lawn since he worked Saturday. My dad did cook us all BBQ ribs for dinner though, they were good!
