better

I'm feeling better. I didn't quite keep up with recording my food intake, but that one time I did, made me balance out my eating better. It had a hand in stopping the pesky afternoon headaches. I can't believe I'm not feeling nauseous all the time. I think I had forgotten what it was like. I still cannot eat chicken coz the thought of it grosses me out. I'm not totally grossed out by beef, but I still won't go out and get a burger or a steak. I did eat Mom's beef brisket the other day. Although if you've had Mom's brisket, you'll understand why even that beef I just can't refuse. It's just TOO good to be repelled by in any condition. I am however eating an awful lot of pork. I can't understand it. Not alot - just more than other meats. I had pork barbecue the other day at Tito Manny's. I've been lunching on ham and muenster cheese sandwiches lately. And of course, pastrami, lovely, lovely pastrami. Oh gash, how could I forget - bacon! I hate the smell of it cooking, but I will not refuse crispy bacon. Hmmmmm.

I'm loving peaches right now. I want to drink juice but I'm overly sensitive to the acidity - even when I dilute it with water! Gross! I've been eating pears and apples too and goodness, if I had access to a sweet watermelon, I'd dig into one.

I love having my energy back. I think that (feeling tired and devoid of energy) on top of everything made me super cranky and emotional. It feels good not to feel tired.

B and I saw our baby yesterday during a checkup. We even heard the heartbeat! Freaking amazing! So strong, and deep, and super fast - 159bpm! The doc took 3 pics which I won't even bother posting just coz they come out so blurry! Baby is malikot already! In the first shot, s/he is "standing" on his/her head - yoga pose? The second one, s/he is covering his/her face with his/her hands! We saw arms and legs moving! The last picture is one of the hands moving to the face to suck his/her thumb! I know some people get emotional and cry. I felt exactly how I felt at my wedding - just freaking giddy, hehe. Weird huh?
