Week 22 is here! Hard to believe 18 weeks to go- the teacher in me puts that in perspective of quarters and that's only 2 quarters of school! We start 4th quarter next Monday, which means when school is over, I'll have roughly 8 weeks to go! Man the time is going by so fast!! So my title says, Peanut loves grilled steak because while I was in Anchorage I had some form of steak each night for dinner. Well, on the third night of having steak, when my plate was being brought to me I could smell the food and Peanut went crazy- kicking and moving around- it was so funny. What other pregnancy stories can I share... oh, I have experienced my first official pregnancy leg cramp in my right calf. I woke up screaming around 5 am. Poor Leif jumped up and asked me what was wrong and I was yelling at him to rub my leg because I couldn't sit up in bed correctly to reach the cramp. My calf was sore for a day and half afterwards. The good news from this experience is I tried eating a banana and was able to eat it! YEAH!!! Well, that's all for Week 22. I'm also posting an amazing sunset picture I took last week. When we see nights like this, I'm reminded of why I love living in Alaska.
We Vikings love our red meat! Go Peanut!
ReplyDeleteWhen I would get calf cramps I would do the opposite of pointing my toes and it helped the cramp go away faster. Probably the best way to describe it is to put your heel on the floor and leave it there then lift the rest of your foot off of the floor starting with your toes, like your tapping them. Good Luck. By the fourth I felt pretty good at getting rid of the cramps.
