I've hit the 30 week mark! Which means only 10 short weeks before we get to meet this little guy who we are so curious about! He is kicking up a storm and healthy and growing, so we are happy.
It seems to me that normal pregnant woman have cravings. I haven't had any of those weird cravings you hear about but I do want one thing constantly: ice. Anything with ice is good; ice cream, milkshakes, slushies, cups of ice to chew, popsicles, drinks full of ice, etc. What's weird about this is I usually hate ice. I don't like it in my drinks (waters them down), I've never been able to chew ice (hurts my teeth), slushies give me brain freeze...so this is definitely a new development. And it's not because I'm hot - I'm still cold all the time, but I want ice, and I want it bad.
Slushies specifically are gold to me right now. I know for a fact I could down gallons of slushie every day if it was available to me and until a few weeks ago I wasn't too picky about the kind. But then Brett introduced me to the Wild Berry Lemonade slushie from Speedway gas stations. Three glorious days in a row I had 44 ounce Wild Berry Lemonade (WBL) slushies, it was wonderful. Then we got home from our trip and discovered that for whatever reason (I'm convinced it's a personal vendetta of some kind), the Mahoning Valley Speedways don't believe in Wild Berry Lemonade slushies.
In a desperate attempt to feed my addiction, since then I have tried many types of slushies from many places. There a few that are ok - but they in no way compare to the glory of Wild Berry Lemonade. Sigh*
Now I wait for the day about once a week when my wonderful husband picks me up a WBL slushie on his way home from ball testing because there is a place out that way that has them, and I am ever so grateful for this amazing man.
Here is a picture of my belly as well as an almost finished WBL slushie - that was a good day:
