New craving

Yesterday I got a new craving for Zingers snack cakes. Either Baby C's sweet tooth has emerged or mine is returning. At least this craving is easier to feed since we can keep these in the pantry. Although I still could go for a Crispy Spring Roll too.

Just thought I'd share as I know some old wives' tales will use the type of food cravings for predicting the gender of the baby. I'll also try and get a more current picture posted soon in case it helps anyone with their vote.

Hope everyone is doing well and has a great day. Talk to you soon.

Added a poll

Well, we've got about a month or so until the ultrasound so....decided to add a poll for fun and see what folks think. We'll see how many of you are right. I was forced to put a closing date on the poll so I put 11/12. Once we get the ultrasound scheduled, I'll adjust it as needed and give you all until the morning of the appointment to cast your vote. Please just vote once, no swaying the results one way or another!!!

The baby's movements are still coming. Haven't been having as much pressure in my rib cage in the last day or so thank goodness. I had a headache that lingered all day yesterday. Thankfully Dad C and Caleb went to the park and I got to lay down and rest for a few hours. Feeling much better today. Looking forward to the weekend though!

I haven't had the spring roll craving as badly lately. At least it hasn't become an everyday thing.

Not too much else to report, it's a good quiet day today so far so I'm enjoying it while it lasts!

Hope everyone is doing well. Take care and will write again soon.

Checkup got re-scheduled

My appointment scheduled for yesterday got re-scheduled due to a big emergency that required two of the OB doctors. It was a bit frustrating to have to re-schedule but I'm sure that the family involved had a much rougher day then me. Now my next checkup is next week on Tuesday at 9:15. So, another week to wait. At least it wasn't my ultrasound appointment to find out the gender!!!

Not much to report. Definitely getting pressure up in my ribs' area, little one is figuring out how to stretch out a leg or something. Still feel pretty small and amazed to feel so much from a baby that is still so tiny. It makes me quite nervous for the remaining 6 months because I know how uncomfortable it got later when Caleb got bigger.

We did a Disney weekend this past weekend and everyone had a wonderful time. Caleb still loves the monorail and buses almost as much as the park rides! He did get his FIRST roller coaster ride though with a kids' one at Magic Kingdom that he just made it for the height requirement. Smiled through the whole thing.

Will write more when there is more to say. Truth be told I'm still dragging from all of the walking, it hit me after we got back and stopped doing so much. Would love to have an afternoon nap about now. If only I had a cubicle with a door!!! Ha ha!

Take care and talk to you all soon.

Baby Flutters

I'm pretty sure that I've had the first baby flutters now. Over the last few days I've been more aware of the movements. They are still very, very subtle and it is possible that I am wrong. I am not sure that the baby can move around too much as far as changing position or sitting higher or lower. But sometimes I do have a feeling under my left rib that feels similar to when Caleb got bigger and seemed to have a head or his butt up under my rib. Perhaps it just my belly that I am feeling and not Baby C. I do think that the little flutters are a bit of kicking though.

We are getting so anxious to know whether Baby C is a girl or a boy! It almost seems like the waiting is worse than it was waiting to find out about Caleb. Maybe because this is the last member to join our family.

My next appointment is next Monday the 8th which we all took off since Caleb's daycare is closed. We're hoping to bring Caleb along to this appointment so that he can hear the baby's heartbeat with us. He's been saying "No brother or sister" when we've talked to him about how he'll be a big brother. So, we'll be working on convincing him that a new baby will be fun to have and that he'll still be loved and special. Plus, it'll be good practice for him coming to the appointment after this one to see us have the ultrasound!

We've got a Disney weekend coming up this weekend so that will be fun for everyone to have a little getaway.

Hope everyone is doing well. Take care and talk to you soon.
