We found out Friday that we are going to have a baby boy!! We are ecstatic and have probably shopped for him everyday since we found out... he is already spoiled. Before I got pregnant I always had dreams of having a baby boy, but then once I was pregnant I felt nothing as to what gender we were having. My parents were sure it was a girl, so we made a friendly little bet with them. They came to the ultra sound and pretty soon into it Greg and I were calling out that it was a boy and then the tech got a shot that showed it clear as day. So we got free breakfast that morning, thank you mom and dad. I know in the above picture his little profile looks like probably every other baby but we are so in love with him already. We have looked at our ultra sound pics a million times and he is pretty much the topic of every conversation. One of my favorite parts of the ultra sound was seeing him move around and then he started make a sucking motion with his mouth, the tech said he was drinking the amniotic fluid. It was adorable! Greg is so excited to have a little buddy to play with, he has been more into buying him stuff than I have. Now it seems way more real and we feel like January is years away.

Cravings

Some of my cravings since being pregnant have been pretty random things I didn't really enjoy much before I was pregnant. Things I loved before I was pregnant haven't been appealing at all now. My beloved chocolate that I used to crave daily is a thing of the past along with all cakes, brownies, cookies and other delicious sweet treats. So hopefully that love of mine will not come back after I have the baby because that was my biggest dieting nemesis.

Some of my fave things as of late are
  • Taco Bell-bean burrito, ah I love it! I can get a REALLY good Cafe Rio burrito for free anytime I want yet I choose Taco Bell's yummy processed'ness over it.
  • Tater tots from Sonic and a slushie. This was more of a 1st trimester craving.
  • Potato salad. Greg and Dan thought it was ok to eat the rest of the deliciousness Heth made over the past weekend. Greg had never seen me so distraught over food. He knows now not to mess.
  • Ramen Noodles
  • Slushies, smoothies, all cold things. This one is mostly due to the heat and the fact that I feel like the A/C in my office is never on.
According the the old wives tales most of my cravings would indicate that I am having a boy because I crave savory and salt. We shall see if that holds any truth in a week! I am dyin, but a week from tomorrow we will know our baby's gender!!
