2nd Trimester begins... :)

It's official!  I have started the 2nd trimester.  Woot Woot!  That means this little guy/girl is a third of the way baked. :)  The baby is now about 3.4 inches long and weighs about 1.5 oz.  Isn't that insane?!  It's like I take miracle grow for vitamins or something.  My cravings are shrimp (yes, still want shrimp fajitas) and fruit.  I have OJ every morning and strawberries and watermelon seem to be calling my name.

Oh! Speaking of OJ, let me brag about my wonderful husband for a minute.  So a few weeks ago, I started this routine of having a muffin and OJ every morning.  We have a little store downstairs where I work and I would run down there as soon as I got in, grab my juice and muffin and was as happy as a kid on Christmas.  But after a week.... I noticed a camera in the little store (it's an automated pay system so there aren't people in there)... and for some reason... I got SUPER embarrassed.  I called Christian and was like "these people think I am a fatty! They see me in there every single day and I am never going back."  Christian as level headed as always reassured me "Babe, you are giving them business.  They could care less".  This didn't work for me.  I said I wasn't going down there again even though I really really wanted my OJ and muffin.  (Side note:  I had been a bit on the over reactive, moody, emotional side due to my awesome hormones.  I am happy to report that it is starting to balance out. I am so happy about that because there is nothing worse than knowing you are acting irrationally and not being able to control it very well.)  So after work, I go home, hang out with my family and go to bed.  The next morning, I woke up, got ready and went to go pack my lunch.  When I opened the fridge... there was OJ galore.  All handy for me to grab and go!  And when I looked at the counter... muffins!!  My sweet, patient and loving husband had gone to the grocery store after I went to bed and stocked up on these things for me!  He knew that I was stubborn enough not to go into that store again. Ha!  it made my morning... week... month!  He is just the best and I am so lucky that he is mine. <3

 

So last week, I mentioned that I had an appointment on Friday to find out if we were having a girl or boy.  Well... that morning, I received a call saying the ultrasound tech was really sick and needed to reschedule her appointments for the day. WHAT?!  Sick?! Doctors and people who work in hospitals don't get sick!! HA! just kidding.  Of course they do!  Which is why I was totally ok with rescheduling to this Friday.  Let's just hope this little one cooperates and let's us see.  :)   While we wait to find out officially, I thought it would be fun to share some results to old wives tales I found.  I don't really believe that any of these actually work but I still like doing it.

Looks like we are pretty even here! With girl being slightly in the lead.  Any predictions?  Let us know, would love to hear them!
