Food cravings so far...

Food cravings so far...

I haven't had too many cravings thus far and it has been actually burdensome to find something that is actually appealing to eat, but I think it is getting better and better week by week. These are the things that I have been the most consistent thus far:

BREAKFAST

I usually get a cinnamon sugar bagel with plain cream cheese.

Orange Juice...pretty much any kind or brand will do. For a few weeks I changed to apple juice (couldn't get enough of it and I don't even care for apple juice), but now it seems I am back to OJ.

DINNER:

I find myself wanting this almost every night for dinner:

1 slice of cheese pizza...I haven't found meat very appealing thus far unless it is slathered in some sort of sauce to drowned out the meat flavor.

And as you are supposed to have 6 small meals per day, then I find myself snacking in the meantime on other various things such as popcorn, chips, granola bars, etc.

TREATS

McDonalds shakes...specifically vanilla.

MMMmmmm...

DQ ice cream...specifically an oreo or snickers blizzard or a peanut buster parfait.

I usually eat a pickle a day. I think it is a vinegar thing because sometimes I crave french fries and ketchup. I only like a certain kind:

Sometimes in the middle of the night I wake up and have a popscicle:

Some of these are cliche...pickles and ice cream, but I don't care. I'm eating what I want and still trying to sneak in those fruits/veggies. I think I'm doing good so far. Almost half way there.

(18 weeks)

Well, we had our Dr. appointment on Monday, January 31st with Nancy Decker. Dr Emery is on medical leave as she is struggling with some personal medical issues. Not sure the status yet and it makes me nervous, but we will see how next time goes.

This is the second time in a row that we have met with Nancy instead of Dr. E. I'm really ok with that becuase I LOVE Nancy and I think Wayne does, too, which is terrific.But if this is going to be a regular thing than we might just decide to switch Drs now. I've also heard great things about Dr. Minke, so we will see what this next appointment brings.

This is me & Lil D this week:

We also scheduled our next appointment for February 28th (21 weeks), which will be the Ultrasound appointment where we find out the SEX! Hopefully, keep fingers crossed that baby cooperates with that.

HOW BIG IS BABY?

Baby's now the size of a sweet potato!

I went to my friend, Laura’s, baby shower. Our history is an odd one, but nevertheless we have remained friends through it all. She was in my wedding and as we have gone through life experiences/changes we have managed to stay friends. It’s hard to believe that if I hadn’t had the miscarriage this summer, I would be right where she is now. Actually I would have been about 2 weeks behind her, but definitely in the home stretch. It was super fun as I was the only other one pregnant and it really made me look forward to my baby shower(s) to come. I hadn’t seen some of those ladies in awhile (Laura’s friends/family), so it was definitely much needed catch-up time. Here is us:

I am 16 wks and Laura is scheduled for her c-section on Tuesday, February 8th. They did not find out the sex and Laura has two boys from a previous relationship, so I am very excited to see if she will have a third boy or if she will finally get her girl. Whatever it is, it will be loved!

Stay tuned in the next few weeks for a post about her little one.
