“I think I drink almost a half gallon of Horizon chocolate milk every couple of days.”

What are you most excited about? I am most excited about finally becoming a mother and watching the wonder of my child develop.

How is your energy level compared to “normal”? Some days I wake up feeling a bit more tired but continuing my exercise regime has helped me maintain my stamina. I find I no longer run, I call it the pregnancy jog waddle!

What clothes are you finding most comfy? Up until a few weeks ago I was still fitting into most of my regular clothes, but lately I like stretchy dresses and skirts and pants with elastic waistbands.

What type of food are you craving or have aversion to; does the smell of pickles make you smile or gag? The smell of scotch makes me want to vomit and so does the smell of cigarettes and when I go run by a famous breakfast spot at the beach the smell of bacon and sausage causes me to gag every time. Other than that I seem to crave chocolate milk on a daily basis. I think I drink almost a half gallon of Horizon chocolate milk every couple of days.

What color will you paint the nursery? We decided to paint it baby blue with an aquarium theme in honor of my love of surfing .

What is something silly, verging on ridiculous, that your husband has said about your pregnancy? He said I might be damaging the baby with my wickedly smelly farts I get from time to time depending upon the food the baby is craving!

Where did you conceive? Do you want to share some funny details? We conceived in our warm and cozy bed. The best part was telling my fiance I was pregnant on the Amalfi coast in Positano, Italy. We had a spectacular view, great dinner and an incredible day of sightseeing so it made it all the more special.
