Hi Everyone!

I just thought I'd take a chance to notate some of the symtpoms I am having.

First, we thought I might be pregnant when I started craving tilapia! I also kept wanting to eat fish sandwiches or fish tacos! For some reason, I tend to crave fish when I'm pregnant. I did with Zoe and it's happening again this time. Could this mean it's a girl?!

Secondly, I felt like my stomach was bloated or fuller. I felt this even before the test was showing positive.

Third, extreme tiredness. This has kicked in big time in the past week. I get exhausted about mid-day and then again early evening, around eight or nine, sometimes earlier.

Fourth, my gums have been sensitive and sore.

Fifth, frequent urination at night. I have to get up at least once at night, sometimes twice.

Sixth, I have been thirstier than usual, craving water more. This is good because I drank lots of water while pregnant with Gabe. With Zoe, I kind of went haywire and started drinking sodas and tea a lot. I think that might have contributed to my extra weight gain with her. I definitely think it caused her to have a sweet tooth! She loves juice and she even drank sweet tea the other day! Argg!!! Gabe won't touch sweet tea and he loves water.

If I think of any others, I will add them. So far, I have lost about a pound or two during this pregnancy. I am happy about that because honestly, I still had about ten pounds to go from Zoe's birth. I joined a gym two weeks ago and have been using the treadmill and trying really hard to stay in shape this time around. I let a lot of things go with Zoe but I intend to do better with this pregnancy.

Finally, I plan to move my journal to "Due in October-December" as soon as that category appears on the journal forum. It isn't even here yet, so I just wanted to give a heads up!
