Today I started baby plus. What's that you ask? Well it's suppose to be a prenatal education system. Being a teacher I thought what the heck, It can't hurt, can it? Basically it's a plastic contraption that makes a thumping sound. It's suppose to help your baby be more alert, and calm. So let the learning begin

Here is my 16 week belly. I'm starting to get uncomfortable. My back hurts, my belly hurts, my ribs hurt. Oh the joys of getting fat.

Yesterday we went in for an ultrasound at one of  these up and coming boutique ultrasound places. They say they can tell the sex of the baby at 15 weeks. So I went there exactly at 15 weeks to find out what I was having. I was a little skeptical but once there I was very excited. It was so great to see the heartbeat and all the little body parts. After checking several times the lady told me with great certainty we are having a girl. Ever since then  I have been seeing pink and imagining all the fun dress up time.

Corey got his test results back today. He is not a carrier of cystic fibrosis. So the chances our baby will have it are very low to none. One less thing to worry about.

Some of my cravings have been chocolate milk and hamburgers especially from Taylor's Automatic Refresher in Napa(as pictured). Yes it's far but worth the drive. I also will settle for McDonalds french fries and BBQ sauce. 

My pants are getting very very tight. No more size 2.... ever again. So sad.

It's like this automatic alarm clock inside my bladder. Every night I wake up at 12:00 to pee. Then again at 3:00 and then I try to hold it again until 5:30 when I finally have to get up for the day. Sometimes I'm not so lucky. Everyone says it only gets worse the further along I get. Well I'm ready to get me a 6 month supply of depends. That way I don't have to get out of bed and sit on the toilet thinking about names and nursery colors and college savings accounts and OMG will I let my child drive at 16 or will I make them wait until they are 28 and finally responsible. What if they date someone I hate? So these questions wouldn't be so bad if they went down the toilet with everything else when I was done... but no they continue until I lay awake all night and can't go back to sleep until 2:50 a.m. Only to have the alarm throbbing in my bladder again at 3:00 a.m. So I guess to save my sanity I will start wearing depends.
