2 1/2 years...18 weeks...first kick?

I know I haven't posted in a while, but this post has to be short. Just wanted to commemorate Nikita's 2 1/2 year milestone, my 18th week milestone (and I still haven't done yoga. Grrrrr.), and perhaps the first kicks of my baby. The kicks (if I interpret them correctly) are different from those of Nikita. Nikita's movements felt like tiny bubbles; the kicks of my new baby feel like dull bubbles.

Pregnancy is going well, and definitely is different than my pregnancy with Nikita. For one thing, my cravings keep changing (I barely had any cravings with Nikita - perhaps that explains his general disinterest in food?), but what is constant is the need for salt and savory dishes. Early in my pregnancy, I craved pickles (without the ice cream). Now I have no interest in them. I also had to change my morning drink from red roobios tea to hot chocolate to (currently) blackberry. I can never stock up on food these days because I don't know how long my cravings will last. Galina thinks this is a sign of a capricious girl.

The other major change is my weight gain. My breasts barely changed in size with Nikita, but with this baby, they actually fill out an A cup. Ha!
