Happy Father's Day

It's crazy to think that this time next year I will have a 6 month old. We dream about her all the time. Even though we don't know the sex yet, I refer to Baby as her because we've both had a dream of a baby girl (and so has his mom!), and the Chinese calendar says we're having a girl, but we won't know for another few weeks. My father predicts a boy, along with a few friends. Brad prefers a boy and I a girl but when it comes down to it we will both be extremely happy with a beautiful healthy baby, no matter the gender.
This week has been wonderful. I've been going to bed much earlier than normal. I'm trying to take advantage of it as much as possible... I know months of sleepless nights will be upon us in just a blink of an eye. Oh sleep... Precious sleep. How I cherish and will miss you.
Oh and look at baby bump!!!! Have I grown since week 10, or what?! I didn't get a chance to do week 11 since time slipped by me and my belly really didn't seem to be growing any bigger. But boy did it grow since last week! Hello baby! :)
Brad is very tickled by my growing baby bump. I know he's going to be a great father. He tries to make sure I am eating well, never complains about getting me water at bedtime for my prenatals, talks to "Barnabus" before going to sleep, reads me a few chapters of our read together book (currently Catching Fire) at bedtime, sings to me, takes such good care of me... And there's so many other adorable and amazing qualities about him but if I say anymore I'd sound like I was bragging ;) I am a lucky lucky girl...

Happy Anniversary

Happy 2nd Year Anniversary my Love! About six years ago you told me, "I hope the bumps in the road seem minuscule to the infinite scope of our love". And that they have been. Cheers to us.

Am I Pregnant?

This week has been a breeze. I read that the pregnancy hormones peak during week 10, so most pregnancy symptoms will start to subside. Besides the random disgusting smells that make me gag such as yucky trash and sealed lunch containers that are overdue for a good washing... I really don't feel pregnant. I cant tell if my stomach has gotten bigger from last week. My work scrubs are starting to get a bit snug and I haven't worn any jeans to gauge how tight they have gotten (frankly I'm a bit scared). My go-to clothes have been summer dresses and comfy elastic shorts. And I've only gained one pound but it seems like more because of my pot belly.
Food aversions? Hunks of meat... Such as steaks, pork chops, and whole pieces of chicken. Strange thing is ground meat doesn't bother me. Brad made this delicious fat juicy burger that I had no problem devouring.
Food cravings? Fruits, veggies and cheese. Most especially strawberries, watermelon, corn, cottage cheese, and caprese salad (drool). I balance all this healthy stuff with chocolate and gummy bears. :) I've also been downing fresh strawberry lemonade pitcher after pitcher.
So far this pregnancy stuff is not that bad. But let me not speak too soon.
