Avocado & toast

If you know me then you know that I reallyreallyreally LOVE avocado on toast and if you follow baby sizes in relation to fruits&veggies then you know that 16 weeks equals an avocado. This just feels like the most perfect one yet because it goes so well with my cravings and I got to go out and buy an avocado for this picture and now I get to eat it :) oh happy day!

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.

Baby Z started to receive gifts before we were ready to share the news with everyone so here are a few snap shots of wonderful gifts we have gotten. Teresa took a trip to Vegas right after we shared our news and she came back with the perfect onesie! I am not so sure why I love onesies so much but I think our baby will be living in them. Erica and Ryan wanted to be the first one to get the baby a book and they got the funnest one! Dinos and Goldilocks ahah what a combo, such a thoughtful and fun gift. Jaclyn and Andy got us a cute book set of Brown Bear & Friends that also has a book on cd, I am sure we will be using that a bunch! I know I already shared with you the little homemade booties that Lindsey made, the bath stuff Stephanie sent us for the baby and the precious frame that Sharon & Pam surprised us with but here they are on the blog!

Thank you friends for loving and spoiling this little baby, I know he/she will love you all.

Oh baby Z, I want to meet you! I know you still have a lot more growing to do but I am really excited. Lately you have been a lot more clear with your likes and dislikes:
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
