So I thought that once I had Adelle, the cravings would go away.
Well, they haven't.
In fact, I am now officially HAVING cravings! When I was pregnant food just sounded good. There wasn't really anything that I needed to have RIGHT NOW, ya know? But now, all I want is healthy food: salads, veggies, and fruit! This is fantastic and will help with losing the "Baby Weight," but green veggies, which happen to be my favorite, don't sit well with Adelle.
WTH?!
We have little gas drops for her since she is entirely fussy and arches her back when I eat these foods, but I don't want to have to give her the drops every time she eats. In fact, it's not every time she eats, it's just at night because I have salad at night. I wonder what would happen if I had something else for dinner? Last night I had a sub from Erbert's and Gerbert's and it happened - but it had lettuce, tomato and sprouts. I don't think it happened when I had lasagna, but I will have to test the theory out - oh darn, I have to eat lasagna! I heart sarcasm!
Has this happened to anyone else? Did/Does your baby have gas pain? What did you do?
Now, I understand that there are about 5 people who read this blog on a regular basis (yay me - again, I love sarcasm), but PLEASE respond with any suggestions or things to try. It's always helpful, even if you think it isn't or won't be!

32 Weeks
Adelle has been moving around a lot - kicking, karate chopping, rolling over - and Brian and I get a really big kick out of the fact that we can see my belly moving. It's not my whole belly either, it's part of it! Where ever she is that is the part that moves and it is crazy to see. We giggle sometimes because Brian will tap on my belly and she will move in some way as a response. It's awesome! I have also been feeling hiccups more and more. This is also a crazy thing because I hadn't really noticed them until this week and now I have been feeling them every day.
Here are some other updates:
My favorite thing to eat right now is Heath candy bars and Heath Blizzards from DQ. I can't seem to get enough of them but limit myself to only a few little bite sized bars a day.
I also want carbs - potatoes, noodles, homemade bread, and rice. I haven't had a whole lot of these lately, but they have ALWAYS sounded delicious.
One thing I am disappointed with is that I went to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, and DIDN'T like what I normally get. I mean, it wasn't good at all and I am afraid to go back and either try it again or something different. I wonder if that is something that will "go back to normal" after baby girl gets here?
Another thing I hope "goes back to normal" after she arrives is my love and ability to eat french fries! I LOVE french fries and could eat them (or any kind of potato I suppose) at every meal. I am serious! But fries are my favorite and Adelle doesn't want anything to do with them! Every time I try them from a different place she kicks the hell out of me enough to where I don't feel well and I get an upset stomach. There have been times I just push past this feeling because I WANT FRIES but that awful feeling doesn't go away. She seems to like other kinds of potatoes though - mashed and tots are just fine. I have to steer clear of french fries and hash browns though! :(
Adelle is growing:
By now she weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama - where in MN do I find that?) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby (great). In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth too. Just 56 days left!
