Baby Kicks and Pickles

5/17/2016
Tonight I was sitting on the bed folding laundry and I leaned over to put some back in the basket and I felt a hard swift pain in my stomach.  I immediately thought it was a baby kick but it was harder than I would have expected so I sat up real straight and pulled in my stomach and then I got it again but a little lower.  He kicked me again I guess I was taking his space.  It is nice to know he is healthy and strong in there kicking and moving around.  I am 16 weeks which is just about time to start feeling a few kicks but I know they aren't strong enough for anyone else to feel.

On another note I've been eating a lot of pickles and the girls noticed this a few weeks ago and decided that the baby was making me eat the pickles, which is probably true.  I know it is a very stereotypical craving but hey they are good especially the long dill spears.  The girls decided that since the baby liked pickles they were going to call they baby 'Pickles'.  So for now that seems to be the babies name, it is pretty cute I think.

I am still pretty sick and it doesn't seem to last just in the morning.  I feel pretty bad most of the morning and evening so lunchtime is my best time.  The doctor did give me some medicine that is helping some but I still have a lot of food aversions like meat which is strange because I love meat. I eat a lot of frozen chicken pot pies and fruit.
