So things have been going great with being prego. I think the worse thing that has happened to me is falling down the stairs and bruising my tailbone at the beginning. I think both me and Brad are thanking our stars that it hasn’t been worse.
Pepper is a kicker.
At the beginning, I would count down the days to my next baby appt because I would get to hear the heartbeat and know that she’s still doing well. There were times, I was tempted to steal the heart monitor and take it home. I think I was afraid of a miscarriage happening. And it caused some anxiety in the 1st trimester.
But as I moved into the 2nd trimester, I could feel Pepper kick. She kicks me everyday to let me know she’s there. Sometimes, it feels like my whole lower half vibrates from the kicks.
So the other morning, I was drinking a iced mocha from McDs. I haven’t really been drinking a lot of caffeine. Honestly, I drink enough to get the taste and Brad drinks the rest. I’m sitting at work and drinking my drink and Pepper starts. . .
BAM
BAM
BAM
BAM
I was like, “Whoa, chica calm down.”
BAM
BAM
BAM
Okay. . . the thought went through my head that maybe the caffeine is affecting all this. So I stopped, I started drinking my water and lemonade. (yes it was watered down, Sam!)
So she stopped.
After like 30mins, I took a couple big swigs of the mocha again. Within a couple minutes. . .
BAM
BAM
BAM
BAM
It’s just funny that it would take minutes for her to let me know that the caffeine makes her hyper. And also that her mom would test the effects of it before she’s born.
