True story... Last night.. I was Oprah. Not only was I Oprah but I was filming a segment in a Paranormal Activity infested house. {Yes, I'm crazy} I had to do my own hair and own makeup. I slicked my hair back and had a choice of 2 wigs that I pulled from my backpack. Not a fancy backpack, just a run of the mill backpack. I put on layers (and layers and layers) of makeup. It was so funny. It was clay mud consistency and about as hard to maneuver. I survived the house but barely, and had to jump a barbed wire fence at the end to escape. I then road off into the sunset in my Mystery Machine look-a-like van. Thank you pregnancy hormones for this enlightening experience in dreamland.

Movement: Mostly first thing in the morning, just after lunch, and at bed time.
Sleep: Hit and miss these days. Mostly good sleeps thought. (With super crazy dreams, ie. Oprah)
What I miss: Pencil skirts, sugar overdoses, non-sore feet after a day of heels, uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep
Cravings: All the usual suspects, new to the list: Cookies. Chocolate chip or Oreos. Must have milk available, and plenty of it !!! Hubbs mentioned Crab Legs yesterday and it was all I could think about until I had them in my possession. I managed to pack away 1 and 1/2 lbs. I couldn't tell if the waitress was amazed or disgusted. Whatevs.

Aversions: Smells and slimy pickles.
Symptoms: Lower back pain sucks, HORMONES, HORMONES, HORMONES. I'm an emotionally basket case sporadically throughout the day. HEARTBURN, Occasional leg cramps, a little growth in the upstairs department. (could also be the fact that I'm packing on lbs., HA)
Best Moment this week: Feeling what I believe to be was a foot pushing out. Sweetest thing ever. Also, laying in bed last night my stomach looked like a waterbed from all the movement. Hubbs and I were cracking up. Tuck was rehearsing his "Thriller" number for his debut into the world.
Belly!!!!!!!!! Aunt Nessa looooooves it :)
