Our Hands Are Full With Hearts To Match

Update: 20 weeks...Halfway there

Baby update:  Supposedly he's a small cantaloupe.  Our next appointment is a week away but it's been 3 weeks since I've written anything.  So as far as we know he's doing fine.

Cookie Tossing Count:  Nothing for a couple weeks.  Yeah!  I think it's safe to drop this topic finally.

Cravings:  Nothing really.  Most food doesn't sound good to me.  Jeff claims I never eat much when I'm pregnant so maybe this is my norm.  Eggs and toast is usually tasty enough.  Fruit is good.  Milk is usually yummy.  I made homemade Fettuccine Alfredo last week which was sooooo good...I really shouldn't have learned that simple recipe (or maybe I should share it so we can all "suffer" together haha)

Weight Gain:  I think I'm about at pre-pregnancy weight now or a pound up.  Not great but good enough.

Symptoms:  Depending on the day I feel bloated and like I'm getting a belly.  Some days I feel like I am just pudgy looking.  Still not a lot of movement.  I feel a flutter once in a while, maybe once a day or every other.  But not a whole lot.  Sometimes it concerns me but I just figure hold out until the 29th and ask about it.

Day to Day:  I feel like I have more energy but nothing to run marathons or even a few blocks with.  I am motivated some days and darn right unmotivated others.  I am trying to organize and sell stuff from the girls clothing so let's hope we don't get a switch-a-roo gender and need it.  So in my effort to organize there is more disarray than organization...blah!

Nursery Theme:  I am really thinking I'd like to do a Super Mario nursery theme.  Jeff would love it and I'm not really into sports, airplane, pooh and other boy themes that are out there.

The Girls:  Kendall was pretty upset the other day when she insisted there were two baby brothers and I told there was only one.  She had a meltdown.  Seren still tells us that baby brother is in her tummy and that he will crawl out someday.  They are doing good and the are excited for a baby brother.

Next visit:  May 29th for regular check up.  June 12th for targeted ultrasound/anatomy scan.
