So hungry...ALL-THE-TIME

Ok, I haven't gained any weight (yet) but I am eating all the time because I am so hungry all the time.

I eat breakfast and before we are a quarter of the way to work I am starved.

So far today I've had toast, a granola bar, two Pop Tarts, juice, tons of water and I am starved yet again.

I had soup, cheese and crackers and a bag of Sun Chips for lunch - wonder how long that will keep the baby happy.

I was never this hungry when I was carrying Evan and he was 8 lbs and 6 ozs when born.

Makes me wonder how big this baby will be. According to the large basketball (er, beachball) sized belly I am carrying around, he/she is going to be a whopper!

The Baby is Moving

For the past couple weeks I have felt the baby fluttering about in my belly but today I can feel actual kicks!!

So exciting...there it goes again!!

Sometimes you just need a sundae...

...especially when you are pregnant and rummaging through the cupboards and fridge and can't find anything satisfying to eat.

I felt like this Sunday night and my WONDERFUL husband went to McDonald's and got me a hot caramel sundae.

It was gone in a flash - but boy it was good.

16 Week Appointment

My 16 week appointment went really well...technically, I am 15 weeks and two days...

Here are the stats:

Blood Pressure: 100/70 (excellent!!)

Urine: All Good

Baby's Heartbeat: Found immediately - a strong 150 bpm

Total Weight Gain: 0 lbs. - I gained back the 4 lbs I lost so I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

Measurements: Measuring a large 18 weeks, when I am just 15 weeks and two days - dr thinks there is a possibility we may be having twins!!!!! The ultrasound on April 20th will tell for sure.

I'm fine either way - think it was be nice to have a twin, but I'll be satisfied with one healthy baby as well!

Evan's New Room

Evan has moved out of the nursery into his 'big boy' room. He won't even go into his old room because that's the baby's room.

Here are a couple pics of his new 'Cars' room.

Protesting Naps at Daycare

Evan has proclaimed that he is a "big boy" and does not want to take naps at daycare anymore.

But, on weekends at home he still naps up to 3 hours in the afternoon.

Every day this week he has been so zapped by the time we pick him up that he can hardly function to eat his supper...not to mention he is too cranky to look at.

We 'convinced' him that big boys still need naps - so this morning he said he was going to have a nap today at daycare. I have my fingers crossed that he is wide awake and rested when we pick him up today.

UPDATE: He napped at daycare. Miss Nina said it took 45 minutes to get him to fall asleep but he slept for an hour. He is much happier this evening.

Nachos for breakfast...

This morning I was in the kitchen with my hand in a bag of Tostitos scoops.

Rob comes into the kitchen and looks at me funny.

I said "No, I am not having nachos for breakfast, I am putting some in a baggy for work. But, don't be surprised if I do have nachos for breakfast at some point."

He agrees and walks out of the kitchen.

Last Weekend

Last weekend was great. Saturday morning Evan had swimming lessons. This child was born to swim - he loves being in the water.

We then went shopping and had a bite to eat. On the way home Evan fell asleep and we all had an afternoon nap. Evan and I slept for 3.5 hours.

The weather was beautiful on Sunday - sunny and warm ~ anything above 10 degrees celcius is warm for March.

Greg and his girlfriend Lesley came out for supper. We had the first BBQ of the year and it was so good.

Sunday morning started out with a rainbow...so pretty.

Construction Worker

Here's a couple pics taken of Evan last night. He loves pretending to be a construction worker - check out the tools handing out of his pockets and his odd work gloves.

Mud Monster

We picked Evan up at daycare and this is what we discovered....

He said "Mommy there was mud at daycare and I had fun" YA THINK!! I had to laugh because well, it was funny to see all these kids having a ball in the mud.

We undressed him on the step outside the house...he was too dirty to bring inside.

This Pregnancy so Far

This pregnancy has been going really well so far. I had very little morning sickness, a few headaches overnight that were gone by morning. I have been very, very lucky so far this time around.

The only annoyance was food aversions and loss of appetite. That is gone now too...Momma can eat again...whoo hoo!!

My next appointment is March 26st at 9:10 am. I can't wait to hear the heartbeat again.
Evan tells everybody that he is getting a baby brother AND sister. Hold up cowboy, one is enough, I am not particular about gender. I just want a healthy baby. Although twins would be fun for sure.

If we have a boy, we are all set in the clothes department. If this baby is a girl, Momma's got some shopping to do...

My ultrasound is scheduled for April 20th and Rob will be in Toronto for work. Mom is going to stay with Evan and I for the week he is away so she will come with me to the ultrasound...and Evan too. That should be an exciting morning.

80s Music

They play music over the loud speakers at work – used to be elevator music but now they play all kinds of music.

Right now it’s in 80s mode – Caribbean Queen by Billy Ocean was just on and now Howard Jones – No One Ever is to Blame is playing.

I usually put on my headphones and listen to VOCM to drown out the music, but I am kinda enjoying this 80s music right now.

Wow that was fast...

This is my first post...I've never blogged before so I thought this pregnancy would be a fine time to start.

I just set everything up in less than a minute!!!
