Dog Prep

We have a new do here... my blog page that is. I normally only like simple, clean blog templates... we will see how long this new one lasts.

I can not wait to get past this awkward phase of pregnancy. It's like I am going through middle school again. I can't decide whether to push my stomach out to look more prego, or to suck it in. My friend Chelsey has similar woes. Our due dates are a week apart.

I was reading the other day on how to prepare your pet for the baby. It pretty much just said poke the animal in odd places every 5 or so minutes. (haha) Tito should be able to adjust well. He has been around all of our nieces and nephews quite a bit without any incidents. Other than wanting to run off with my poor nephews comfort item (a dog stuffed animal named Dog), stealing food from hands at the height of his mouth, and licking ears, we should do okay. He will, however, miss all the attention he is currently getting. He runs our house.

It's a .....

Just FYI the milk tactic before bed works. I can't decide if my midnight hunger pains are a thing of the past or if the milk prevents it. I'm probably going to keep doing it until the baby is here. I think it's funny, bedtime milk... ha. Does any one else think it's funny a grown woman drinks it before bed? And, no I don't warm it up.

Speaking of the baby, we just went to the Dr. today and got another ultrasound (this place is great, we get an ultrasound every time we go). The doctor is pretty positive it's a girl :)

I am only 14 weeks tomorrow but I thought it was a girl from the get go. And since the Dr. said he was pretty positive, I'm gonna just plan on it ... let's hope we are right! If we buy anything we are for sure going to save the receipt though! When we go back 4 weeks from now, it will only be reassurance. It is pretty neat to see the baby has arms and legs that are kicking; you could even count the fingers on the ultrasound! I can't feel it yet, but she looks pretty active. Hopefully I will find more to talk about than this, but it is just too exciting.

Oh, and one more thing - I also found out today that June is National Candy Month :) lets all celebrate! Candy/chocolate party anyone? We could watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Chocolate, and eat lots of goodies.

Fat

So first time moms don't normally show until 5-6 ish months. I am a couple days away from starting my 4th month and I am feeling.... well, f-a-t. I'm not talking baby in the tummy fat.

I'm not too worried about it b/c I'm sure it will even out sometime, but what do I do when I wake up TWICE in the middle of the night b/c I am absolutely starving?! It is such a strange feeling b/c there is no way you can go back to sleep (I have tried). Although, I think I may have solved the problem. Last night I drank some milk right before I went to bed in preparation for the hunger pains and guess what? I didn't wake up even once. I'm going to try it again tonight - I'll let you know how it goes, I am very optimistic.
