I had my 3D/4D ultrasound on Friday. It was amazing to see our little fella -- sticking out his tongue, yawning and grimacing. He is so beautiful and perfect and it's very surreal to have a face to go with the kicks/jabs. We are so in love I can only imagine how much more in love I'll be when I hold him in my arms for the first time.
Mmm I love that watermelon salad! Thanks for making my watermelon craving even worse before the melons hit the stores!
I've been craving watermelon since December! My mom bought a whole one this weekend and brought over half to me. I'm working through that but it isn't the juicy, sweet type that I'm craving.
A good friend of mine does photography for a hobby and took some maternity pics for us after our shower. She sent me a few today and the look so good! I hate having my picture taken but she always does a great job and it helps to have them done with someone I'm close to.
I'm feeling shiddy today. DS has been not feeling great for almost a week now, but is well enough to go to dayhome. Drop off on Friday was rough, and this morning was even worse. Lots heartbreaking- our DCP said all he wanted was milk and mommy and daddy (his tummy isn't doing so well with dairy right now so no milk for another day or so). I'm starting to want my mat leave to be here just so we don't have this battle every morning. And if all he wants is me, I will figure out a way to make it work.
I feel like all I want to eat is sugar and carb foods. I really need to stop. I gained over 50lbs with DD and vowed to do better this time around.
On another note, my step-mom took some unplanned maternity pictures of me in her studio Saturday. I really love how they turned out. My real ones are on the 19th!
more hugs @megk82. That's not easy I know June 11th will be four years since my mom passed away when DS was a baby and this pregnancy has definitely been hard without her physically here. Hopefully having my baby girl in June will bring some happy memories for that month instead of just sadness and longing.
Good luck and chin up girl
Something that might you help you ladies who are sad loved ones won't be here for baby is something that helped me. Infants will often stare into space and gurgle, coo or giggle. Someone said this is babies talking to the spirits of loved ones that we adults can't see. Definitely helped me when I was watching C as a baby and wantingy Gran to meet her.
I was feeling really sad about my mother in law yesterday so I wrote her another note just updating her on how everything is going. It really helps me to write to her. It will be 3 months since she passed on Saturday. I think being pregnant and knowing that she won't get to meet her is the worst, but I like to think she is getting my notes and watching over us.
Big hugs to the ladies feeling sad about loved ones. My aunt was a midwife and I always wanted her to be the one to deliver my babies. It'll be 5 years this August and I still find myself going to pick up the phone to ask her questions about pregnancy and birth.

I believe this to be 100% true.... I would often see my DS stare upwards and smile or make little noises just after mom passed when he was about 8 months old. He would even talk about her as he got older like he could see her or she visited him. He doesn't anymore now that he is bigger but I feel that she is here and watching over us.
I would also have vivid dreams of her just after I discovered I was pregnant last time when I had my miscarriage and with this pregnancy as well, she was hugging me and telling me that this time everything would be perfect. I woke up feeling a peace and relief I have not had for years.
We had our first labor and childbirth class tonight. My brain is on information overload! I've been pretty calm about labor and delivery so far (or maybe just denial....) but it really made me kind of scared! This is happening soon! Yikes.
I got to eat this today. I am happy. Also, I picked up the clothes my girlfriend gave us. There is literally more outfits than I could dress this kid in every day for a year. I have the extended suburban and the tire rear of it is FULL with baby gifts, clothes, and gear. I am so happy. The only thing we have to buy is the car seat and a crib mattress. I cannot believe how generous people are.
@jshrop DH would DIE if he knew you got to eat primanti brothers! he has always wanted to go there it looks soo yummy. please tell me it's as delicious as it looks. also yay for generous people!
@stephross88 OMG ITS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!! I hate slaw, but it is delicious! For anyone who doesn't know, Primanti sandwiches are meat of your choice, sweet and tangy (vinegar based) slaw, provolone cheese and fries on thick cut Italian bread. It's to die for and a Pittsburgh must anytime you're in town. My visit home is now complete!

If anyone sees this today, please keep my MIL in your thoughts as she's having surgery again today to remove more cancerous masses from her bladder. It's routine, but again, surgery under anesthesia and that always makes me nervous.

Thank you @crhein26. The doc just came in to speak with me and there was no tumors and no sign of the cancer! He sent cells away for biopsy but it looks like great news! You must be good luck for us, cause this is the 3rd time for this procedure

I am watching an episode of saved by the Bell from 1990 and zach was drinking a big gulp. I size of the cup looks like a medium soda you would get today. Crazy how our portion sizes and obesity rates have increased
My fish George died today and im really sad but everyone is taking it as a joke.....so mean
I feel your pain. I once had a hamster put to sleep. People always laugh at that. But seriously, she was suffering
right there with y'all. I saw a squirrel get hit by a car outside my house, not run over just hit and I took it to the vet. they put the squirrel down anyways but I thought it was better than dying in the street. my mom thought I was BSC for that one. I love all the animals.
I really want to eat a big bowl of raw cookie dough for dinner tonight. I can't stop thinking about it. I found a recipe for egg-less cookie dough so if its safe to eat I should make it, right?

Here's a pic of the perfect combo of me and DH!
@letsgobowlingx that looks beautiful! Glad you had a great time!

((Hugs)) @MegK82 just because she isn't here physically doesn't mean she isn't here at all.
My diaper bag or actually diaper back pack came in the mail today! I'm in love!
