15 lbs. Yep. I’ve gained 15 lbs. since August. And for those that are way out of the loop, yes, I’m pregnant. hahah.

Cravings 3rd trimester:

• Aunt Annie’s Almond pretzels w/ caramel dip
• coffee ice cream…ok…ice cream in gen.
• soda
• pastries, cakes (mainly ensaymada and Godiva Cheesecake)
• Starbucks chocolate chip cookies
• chicken ceasar salad
• strawberries, clementines, cold grapes
• chocolate (mainly lindtz, truffles, symphony bars)
• fruit roll ups (hahahahaha, I don’t know why)

I have 2.5 months left and so far:

Pros:

• no waddling
• my thighs don’t kiss each other while walking
• I can still see my feet
• no cankles
• I can still take my rings on and off (this used to bug me last time)
• No headaches (like my last pregnancy)
• No heartburn (like my last pregnancy)

Cons:

• Back hurts at night
• Need to sit down and rest every time I’m on my feet for a long time
• ALWAYS want to drink cold beverages; always thirsty
• difficulty sleeping
• full bladder, kicking baby toy
• can’t lift, push, pull anymore
• no rough housing with Emma

We’re all really excited for Baby Z…esp. Ate Emma.  She really is so affectionate with this baby.  I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy has passed. And it’s true, somehow, this pregnancy is much easier than my first one.
