I can't believe time is passing so quickly! It seems like just last week we found out we were pregnant, now here we are at 16 weeks! Only 4 weeks away from being half way!! Wow!!
Lately I have been feeling really good. Hopefully, I am finally in the I-feel-great part of the pregnancy!
I am still craving salads like crazy, which I still think is crazy! But I guess it's better than craving cheeseburgers and ice cream all the time! A friend of mine keeps telling me it means that the baby is going to come out being a vegetarian...not in my husband's house!! If you know my hubby, you know how funny that is! He's a steak and potatoes man all the way!
I have signed up to get emails from the What To Expect When You Are Expecting website and I get them every day. They let me know what's going on with the baby, or what's with my body and things like that. (It's really neat!)
Well, at the beginning of the week I got the following email:
For most women, the second trimester not only brings relief from morning sickness, but also brings on a truck driver's appetite. Don't be surprised if you suddenly feel hungry enough to polish off a 24-ounce porterhouse.
A truck driver's appetite?! That's funny! I have since realized that it's TRUE!!
The other night I made one of Tom's favorite meals...Parmesean Chicken and Spaghetti! First let me say, I had never made this before, but it was SO GOOD!!!! And it was a LOT of food! I ate it all! Nothing left on my plate! Tom said, "Wow, you really do have a truck driver's appetite!"
The worst part is about two hours later when we were getting in bed I said, "Hey Sweetie, wanna hear something funny? I am hungry! Seriously, I think my stomach is about to start growling!" He looked at me like I was crazy and just said "DANG!"
Well, my little truck driver is now the size of an Avacado!
Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.
Guacamole anyone? Or if you're my mom, just a plain avacado!
Isn't it amazing how the baby takes on these different shapes? From a round orange last week to an avacado this week. I kept thinking a navel orange is usually larger than an avacado, but it's all in the shape...Sorry we couldn't go out for guacamole this week - but maybe awesome blossom next week?? That's right, my little grandchild (I can hardly wait to say son/daughter) will be an awesome blossom!!!! :)
