I've Been Slacking.

Sorry Amber, I know you didn't have anything to read last week! (: There just really has not been too much going on lately. Okay, that's a lie...there has been a LOT going on...but nothing that seems blog worthy.

I've gotten my eating a little more under control since my last post. All I could think about for lunch today was fruit! We had bunco last night, and that girl that hosted brought a huge tray of delicious fruit and I just couldn't get enough of it. I guess that brings me to my most exciting news...I have finally gained 2 pounds! I never in a million years thought I would be excited about gaining weight, but I was starting to get a little concerned. I just felt like I should have gained at least a little bit at this point. It makes me worry that the baby isn't getting enough to eat!

I just remembered...my eating really hasn't been that great. The other night I had Chef Boyardee Ravioli, and a baked potato. And then I had Chef Boyardee again the next night. Okay...so I've been eating better for one day. That's good, right?

A friend very generously brought me her heartbeat monitor last night, and I have a feeling I am going to be totally obsessed with it. I went straight home and found the babies heartbeat and was so happy to hear that sweet sound! It makes me worry so much less. Thanks Amber (you're getting all sorts of shout outs in this post)!

My next doctors appointment is Monday and I will get my order for my ultrasound then. Everyone keeps asking why I don't wait until the baby is born to find out the gender. I come from a family where we open Christmas presents weeks before and tape them back up so nobody knows. That's why. I hate surprises! Or at least ones that I know are coming. I can hardly wait to find out what this baby is so that it can stop being "it" and have a name!

We are having our gender reveal party next Thursday night, and it is going to be so hard for me to not peek in that envelope! I am going straight from the doctors office to the bakery. Otherwise, I will definitely cheat! I can't stand it! I can't wait to post pictures from our party.

I guess that's about all I've got at this point. Here is the lovely picture I just took. It has to be the worst belly picture ever. But I walked past the mirror earlier and thought, "wow, I actually look pregnant today!" It's just the shirt. FYI, I just typed shit instead of shirt and giggled to myself. While we were at market my mom told Jessica and I that we were so immature and all she had to do was say "poop" and we'd crack up. And of course, we cracked up. Okay, sorry...ADD. Here's the picture! 17weeks and 3 days!
