the plus side of pregnancy.. other than the obvious baby that comes from it.. you get to wake up in the middle of the night and eat whatever you want without feeling guilty!

last night i woke up with an empty rumbling stomach around 2am... i wanted to wait it out until morning but my stomach wasn't having any of it.. so i got up.. had a handful of dried cranberries.. six graham crackers.. handful of pretzels with mustard.. two small popsicles and a bowl of frosted mini wheats with milk.. all in ONE hour.. then my stomach decided it finally had enough and i was allowed to go back to sleep! despite my rather large snack.. i woke up this morning STARVING!

its almost 2am and i am again HUNGRY! i have had a rather large (LATE) dinner the last few nights.. so i am surprised how hungry i get!

i gained a pound since last week! yay! i hardly had anything to eat this week from how sick i was.. i am surprised i was able to gain any weight.. i am so excited that my baby is getting bigger.. i'm weeks away from being able to feel him move around. i can't wait.. i have had certain moments where i have felt something and think, "could be the baby", but i'm not sure. usually i feel it in the morning.. now to think of it.. i feel it almost every morning but who knows.. however, my doppler is now able to pick up butterballs heartbeat anywhere on my stomach. yay for growing fetuses! i love my baby! i am so excited about having him.. (i keep saying him because i just KNOW its a boy.. tanna can say girl all she wants.. but it's a boy.. you just watch.. my gut is always right).

my 16week appt is thursday.. nothing special.. i know they are doing blood work because she told me they would be.. yippee i guess. lol.. i am more excited about thursday because it's the day i get to schedule my BIG ultrasound! AUGUST could not get here fast enough.. ugh..

i wanted to do something fun when we found out the sex.. like have the ultrasound tech write boy or girl and stick it in an envelope and open it by ourselves at a picnic or restaurant etc.. i asked david what he wants to do and he said "i want to know right then and there".. so i guess that's what we will do lol.. im not disappointed with him wanting to know right away.. just thought it was funny he wants to skip all the cutesy stuff and get right to the point lol. typical male.

well, i better go eat something.. my stomach is starting to get pissy with me.
