hot weather = makes anne marie VERY sleepy!

i fell asleep at 7pm last night.. woke up briefly to eat dinner (david grills every sunday). then back to bed i went. i woke up at 4:30am.. i feel amazingly refreshed today.. maybe because i didn't wake up a million times to pee? i feel like i got some really good quality sleep.. the kind i got during my first trimester... my bladder ached something awful though LOL.. in fact i probably would have slept longer had it not been the bladder.. but at least it took that long for me to have to get up.. getting up 4-5 times a night really cuts into your sleep!

anywho.

any guess how hot it was yesterday?

105f.....................

i am NOT JOKING!

weather forecaster said "dallas had the highest temperature in the whole nation"............ o__O

i reallly do not like this damn DRY heat.. and i will bitch about it.. every single day until it is gone..

despite the 105f weather.. i did spend most of my time out in the heat yesterday.. i couldn't take being cooped up in this apartment ONE MORE DAY! one thing i have noticed.. i itch when i am hot.. it never happened before i was pregnant.. i really hope this is not a future sign of PUPPS.. i get super itchy allllll over my body when i am in the heat.. as soon as i am back in air conditioning, the itching stops. i just hope it's the heat and not a future indication of PUPPS.


this past week i have felt a lot of unusual senses down in my womb area.. i am still not convinced it's a baby, but the fact it started out as small gas bubbles in one spot minutes at a time.. to weird moving sensations (does NOT feel like gas.. it feels like something or someone actually moving around in there), is starting to convince me more that it is the baby.. it happens usually EARLY in the morning.. 6am - 8am.. i once read that a fetuses activity is usually a sign of what the baby becomes once he/she is born.. so.. if that is true.. david and i are going to have a "morning person" kid.. i sort of hope my child is a morning person.. i am a night owl.. and my mother had the hardest time getting me up for school as a kid.. lol..

sooo, through out the day yesterday, i had this moving sensation.. not the gas bubble feeling.. they were in different spots through out the day.. but still in the womb area.. david is convinced it is the baby.. but as i said.. i am not so sure JUST YET..

oh yea.. i stepped on the scale saturday afternoon.. I LOST MORE WEIGHT.. i now weigh 147lbs.. that was after a meal too! WTF.. i need to start gaining.. this is getting ridiculous.. i wanted to be able to gain at least 4lbs by my next appointment.. if not more.. even with no weight gain my belly is defiantly growing.. i am starting to notice it while naked looking from the front.. now you can see a small ball forming from the front.. so my baby is growing.. even then i am still worried that i am not giving butterball enough nutrients and the fact my doctor was slightly concerned about my lack of weight gain (i didn't have morning sickness).. it's starting to bother me.. and i know it's bothering david.. (he was there this last appointment when the doctor lectured me about eating enough.. ) he kept wanting me to eat eat eat yesterday, even though i was stuffed.. i really didn't have much to eat yesterday.. i had breakfast.. pancakes.. and some of david's hash browns.. grilled chicken, corn on the cob and some red potatoes for dinner (with lots of butter).. i didn't have lunch because i was STUFFED from breakfast (or maybe i was stuffed because i had a lot of water to stay hydrated.. ? i roughly had 88ounces of water.. and even that was NOT enough water apparently.. AKA pee-not clear.. that also doesn't include the three LARGE glasses of milk i try to drink everyday.. or the two glasses of orange juice at dinner.. plus two small bottles of carbonated mineral water LMAO.. you know what? i hadn't realized how much fluid i had yesterday until just now.. no wonder i wasn't hungry lol) it also takes my stomach forever to digest certain foods (mostly high fatty carb stuff..). besides.. i was WAY more thirsty than hungry and i am sure the heat had something to do with it.. i snacked at the free samples at central market.. but it wasn't much.. and more liquid than food samples.. it was a "coastal theme".. lots of fish.. i don't eat fish.. next weekend they are going to "break open the freezers" for a huge ice cream sample event.. we are NOT missing out on that one lol..

i am starving right now.. ::as a munch on a rather large and not as good as it looks, cranberry/blueberry muffin with a large glass of whole milk::

haha.. i bought some guacamole yesterday.. i actually woke up wanting it but decided i should probably eat something more like breakfast.. i am still wanting the guacamole over the muffin..

and now that i am done eating it.. i still want the guacamole..

i also got some red currants.. OMG i love red currants.. they are only available in the summer here... and expensive as hell.. but with some sugar and cream OMG I WILL BE IN HEAVEN later today.. my family in germany grows red currants in their garden.. i used to hate them as a kid but now as an adult i lovvveeee the tartness mixed with the sweet sugar and cream.. ::mouth waters:: i might take pictures of them later.. i want to remember it all year lol..
