my belly is a punching bag

i just spent the last 10 minutes watching my belly roll.
this baby seems more active than zoom (who was very active) but i wonder if that is because i am so much more aware of him this time. can i handle another active babe??!!
i do love the belly roll and PTL he is letting me sleep at night!
i was experiencing some swelling and leg cramps, but since i have upped my vitamin intake the last two weeks have been excellent! so here's what i am doing:

• prenatal vit
• additional vit C
  
• additional vit E
• Biorutin - supports healthy capillaries
• liquid calcium-magnesium just before bed - helps with those leg cramps!
• taking a bath in white oak bark
• adding nettles to my red raspberry tea
• trying to remember to drink more water
• eating BEETS, leafy greens and other goodies that support good circulation
• putting up my feet for 20 minutes a few times a day

i absolutely LOVE that i can see results without having to wear those tights! tho when it gets cooler i might do that too, i just cannot fathom wearing them if there is an ounce of heat!
while normally i do crave my good sweetness (dense dark chocolate, smooth ice cream or a rich dessert) my craving for sweets has significantly dimished this pregnancy. i think something sweet sounds good, but when i eat it it just doesn't sit well. that's alright. i just wish water didn't do that sometimes - yes, water!! kind of gives me a stomach ache. while milk? bring it on!!! now that fall is here i'll be able to drink more hot water, (a soothing cold weather drink in my book) and up my water intake again. poor babe. i hope he doesn't have any lactose intolerance when he is born...
zoom loves to hug the babe, give high fives, and wait for a high five back. i just cannot wait to see how he and this babe relate!!
