Growing Appetite

Lately, I've been getting very hungry. I have to eat three meals a day plus at least one snack. Today, I forgot my afternoon snack on the counter at home. By 3:30 I had two options. I could run to Burger King and pick something up or I could just start crying. Yes, it was that bad. I didn't want to have to explain the tears to my co-workers so I ran to Burger King. The food was delicious and now I can resume my day.

The Countdown

Only a couple more days of waiting. Hopefully the doctor will be able to tell on Friday if it’s a little girl in there or a little boy. I have had several dreams that the baby is a girl. The most recent was just last night. My subconscious might be playing games on me though. We will have to wait and see. Even though I’m very excited to find out and be able to move on the next stage of planning and decorating, I think it will be a little bittersweet. It will be so final. Either my imaginary little boy or my imaginary little girl will go away. I only get to keep one. And that’s sad because in my imagination, they are both so cute.

A Growing Baby

When I woke up today Shane swore my belly had grown another inch overnight. He even stopped me to take a picture. The baby must be getting big in there. I think I might have even felt it today.

4 Months



Tomorrow I will be entering my 17th week.

Belly Band

I bought my first belly band. It is a band, about 12" wide, that you use to extend the amount of time you can wear your pre-pregnancy pants. The idea is that you don't button your pants and the band is tight enough that it holds them up. At first I didn't see their real value, but I have since changed my mind. I was very discouraged yesterday when I was trying to find maternity pants for work. I was debating between 2 pairs, the pair of pants that looked good now but would be too tight as soon as anything except my belly got bigger and the pair that looked bad now put would fit later. If they were on clearance I probably would have bought them both, but they were $35 each. So, I bought the $15 belly band instead. I wore it the last couple days and it worked well.
