Lemon Water, Sexy Foreign Films, and My Appointment

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh . . . lemon water and a hot movie. What more could I ask for? In the shower about an hour ago, I suddenly wanted a glass of ice water with lemon so badly I thought I'd die. At least I have healthy cravings, right? :-) Thank goodness I had lemons on hand. I am watching a movie called "The Lover" (no, I don't watch dirty movies). This is actually a great foreign film about a 15 year old French girl living in Colonial Vietnam who meets a handsome, rich man from Hong Kong and they have a passionate affair. It's a quiet movie, beautiful really. It's the autobiographical story of Marguerite Duras. I loved the book, but it is quite a passionate story. She explains her affair with, ahem, great detail. It really is a sexy movie, except that I'm pregnant and tired and am not even able to comfortably shave my legs anymore, so it probably won't have much of an affect on me. :-)

And speaking of being pregnant, I had an OBGYN appointment today. I hadn't gained any weight since the last time. Go me! He agreed that I'm not showing much for 19 weeks, but he said it's normal for a first pregnancy. He also asked me if I had felt the baby, to which I responded "oh yes!" My uterus is almost right behind my belly button now. I also got to hear my baby girl's heartbeat, which was great! I have an ultrasound scheduled for December 5. Can't wait to see the peanut again!

Hannah, we're SO alike!!! When I was pregnant, I had to have LARGE glasses of ICE-COLD water ~ plenty of ice ~ with lemon slices. OMG, that was SO refreshing ~ and I'm STILL the same way! My drinks have to be ICE-COLD these days. I wonder what it is about the lemon? Lemon stuff helped my queasiness. How funny that we had the same craving! Remind me to tell you a funny story about "The Lover" ~ I had quite the experience in college with that movie. :)
