This week, the baby is the size of a grapefruit. Keeping with the citrus theme, it seems.
I continue to be amazed at the size of my belly. There is absolutely no hiding it now, though certain shirts show it off more than others. But I am definitely pregnant looking.
The heartburn continues to come and go. I can for days on end with nothing and then have a day like I did yesterday. It was so bad that it brought tears to my eyes.
The weird aversions are much more fascinating to me than any cravings I've had yet. Previously, I could have sat down and with a jar of peanutbutter and just eaten it all with a spoon. And I could have done this everyday without getting sick of it. Now I sometimes have to make myself eat peanutbutter if I'm looking for a quick protein fix. Things with peanutbutter in it don't seem to bother me so much and it doesn't taste bad to me. I'm just not interested in it.
I also have developed an aversion to my usual peppermint gum and the taste of toothpaste. I switched my gum selection to cinnamon and that seemed to do the trick for me. So we ran out last night and bought some Close Up toothpaste, which I wasn't even sure they made anymore, and some cinnamon Act mouthwash (Listerine, sadly, does not come in cinnamon). That seems to be an improvement for me.
And oddly enough, I was so all about ginger snaps and such at the beginning of this pregnancy and now I can't stand it. We now have all these ginger snaps and gingerbread men that I just can't stomach lately.
I'm really hoping that these tastes will come back later. They all sadden me a little.
