The midwife suggests that I don't gain any more weight until I am 20 weeks, she must be joking because I am starving at all times and even with my workouts [I go as often as I can but I will try and step it up after our vacation] I am still gaining weight. I also am really trying my hardest to not allow myself to get down about the weight gain, I am building a little person who wants to eat lollipops, melted cheese and soy sauce. "What baby wants baby gets" is what Teresa keeps telling me!
Monday we leave on a four day Baja Mexico cruise with my parents, we are celebrating their anniversary and ours as well. It should be a lot of fun! Relaxation, lots of food, and sight seeing in Catalina&Ensenada. When we booked this last August we had no idea that I would be pregnant and I really think it is such a blessing to have a vacation already set up for us! We are still planning on a babymoon come June but this week off is totally needed.
The picture below is of me and the baby bump in the nursery, the paint is all dried and there are only a few very small touch ups needed! I was so excited to finally be able to start taking pictures in the baby room. This weekend we plan on building the crib and starting to get the room situated so we know what we are working with.
Thank you friends for loving and spoiling this little baby, I know he/she will love you all.
LIKES:
Meatballs - Your friend Erica just got your mommy a foot long to share with daddy but I ate the whole thing :) it was good, I hope you loved it!
Sweets - Whether I am in office depot and you really want a lollipop or if I plan my Friday evening around making brownies you make your love for sugar known.
DISLIKES:
French vanilla creamer - I usually take my coffee black but sometimes a little creamer was a nice treat, not anymore. You hated it! When did it start tasting so bad?!
Meat - If it has already been made we can eat it but if I need to cook it... no thank you!
You make me laugh all the time. We found out that you can hear us now, I was talking to you before but it is even more fun now. Thinking that you are starting to recognize our voices and can hear how silly your dad is, it is a treat. Hope you kick me soon, I wanna feel you.
Love, Mommy
