Ketchup.

That’s one of my favorite phrases your daddy says to me. Some say I walk slow, I say I’m taking in my surroundings. I will admit, you’ve slowed me down a little too!

As far as morning sickness, the last couple of weeks haven’t been bad at all. But the moment I start to worry about why I don’t feel absolutely horrible, BuhBAM! I get sick…thanks for the gentle reminder, little one, that you’re just busy growing instead of making me sick all day long. keep it up!

According to all of our apps on our phones, you are somewhere between the size of a raspberry, a grape, or a green olive-almost an inch long! I’m still not showing much at all-which is fine since we haven’t spilled the beans yet to everyone. I think I feel a lot bigger than I look some days-but the legging and tunic season is right around the corner, just in time for you to really start ramping up the grow room.

As far as cravings go-they are all over the place. Sometimes I can eat a whole lot of something, and other times I get a few bites of food down and don’t feel so hot. I’ve been wanting fresh, cold, crunchy things-so popsicles, pickles, fruit, etc are on the top of the list. Here are the pictures of what mommy ate the last two days for lunch:

If those meals don’t keep you growing big and strong, I don’t know what will! Surely olives and fluff will keep those cells multiplying and such?

I’ve also been “nesting” already. Although daddy doesn’t want to find out what you are going to be, a boy or a girl, I have already started trying to get my crafting skills back in order so I can spoil you rotten. I made a quilt, something I haven’t done since 5th grade, and tried to do gender neutral colors and patterns. It’s going to be so nice to sleep on or play on when you get out of my belly! There was a lot of cursing going on while I was trying to figure this whole thing out-so thank goodness you can’t hear anything yet!

I hope you are doing well inside there, and I can’t wait to see you again on September 15th! I never knew someone could look forward to something so much!

Love, 

Mommy
