craving a little attention...

we had another of our routine appointments today, and has been our pattern so far, everything is going along quite well.

wiggly is growing at the expected rate, my belly is the expected size, my weight gain is right on target, wiggly's heart rate is right in the middle of 'normal' still (140). our doctor seems quite pleased with the way everything is progressing, which makes me feel much more assured. the only thing that is out of the ordinary is the fact that craig has been able to feel some of wiggly's movements. apparently, it's more normal to be able to feel the movements (externally) at 28 weeks - however craig could start feeling a kick or two as early as 22 weeks. the doctor wasn't alarmed at this fact at all. she was instead excited that craig got to feel the baby's movements earlier rather than later.

i've been able to identify a definite craving i've been having (aside from fruit) - non-fat frozen yogurt! for those who haven't been here, our apartment is across from a cinema, various restaurants, and shops - one of which is a frozen yogurt shop. prior to 2 weeks ago, our visits had been sporadic. once every 2 or 3 months at the most. recently however, i've been showing up quite a bit more often. often enough that i have started to recognize people behind the counter. i figured that since i wanted frozen yogurt rather than ice cream, i would be content in that, and not feel too guilty about my indulgences. this weekend however craig looked up the calories online - and we were pleasantly surprised that the yogurt really isn't bad for you. (the toppings that are available however, are another story.) i am attempting to keep my trips to the yogurt shop down to once a week, preferably on the weekend, but my self control is not the best.

24 weeks down, only 16 to go!
