Crazy

There is a reason why you never see a lot of pregnant women at Disneyland. Exhaustion. Total, absolute, and complete exhaustion. The trip was planned before I got pregnant. My sister-in-law double-checked with me to see if I wanted to still go because I told her the number one symptom I've had all week was fatigue, which is the primary reason why I haven't blogged.

You Got Me

  No soda for Yoda. I decided to have a Sprite today with my lunch and boy was that a bad idea. It was way too sweet for me. Like, I'm not even sure I finished a quarter of it. I even took a picture of it: No more soda for Yoda. I swear this kid is making me healthier already. In interesting news, I had a follow-up phone conversation with Dr. Davis.
