Can I have some ice cream with my pancakes please?
34 week belly bump!
You might have heard something about how pregnant ladies have cravings during their preggers journey. Well, I have to tell you, this feeling is very strong right now for me! I love, love, love, anything chocolate. Honestly, pretty much anything sugary and would probably fall in the ‘junk food’ category. Also, there’s been some pretty weird & bizarre food items I want to eat in the same meal. Below are some of the things heard around my kitchen table lately:
- Can I have some ice cream with my blueberry pancakes please?
- Is it ok if I have a few baby pickles along with my red velvet cupcake?
- And… probably the most bizarre (or maybe disgusting) thing I’ve eaten together– Last Friday night we had linguine & clam sauce and I wanted to drink my chocolate protein drink with it! You should have seen the look on hubby’s face! :)
One of the biggest cravings I have at the moment is my desire to eat a box of those oh-so-delicious Girl Scout Samoa Cookies. The problem is that they seem to be sold out in my area. I’ve been to two different places today looking for them and I get the same answer, “sorry, we’re out of those” :( Really? How is this possible? Can you point out the last person that bought that coveted purple box of cookies and I’ll follow them to their car? Maybe they’ll take pity on a pregnant lady. Is there some sort of preggers hotline I can call to get me a box of those yummers a.s.a.p.?

Wow! What a week of BIG FUN I just had! My sis and my mom flew out from SoCal to celebrate both my birthday and my baby shower. What a treat! I couldn’t even remember the last time we were all together for one of our birthdays… we were thinking it was my 21st; so it’s been quite awhile!!! :) It was so much fun to have so much girlie time with them. I really enjoyed having them here to share in all of the excitement and celebration. Dear hubby says he wants a t-shirt that reads… “I survived estrogen fest 2009!” We’ll see if that can be arranged ;)

And check out the slideshow I’ve made of all of the baby shower FUN! To make the slideshow bigger– Do you see all of those arrows pointing four different directions in the lower right of the slideshow screen? Click there. Wahhh-lahhh. Big time slideshow. :) Enjoy!
knitting project in progress
This is still a very much WIP (work in progress) but I’m pretty excited about this blanket I’m working on for our little nut in the oven. It’ll be his first knitty pressie from mommy :) I’m almost halfway through; good time to pause and take a picture of how this lovely is shaping up.
To all of my knitter friends out there… I have to tell you, I absolutely LOVE this yarn! So easy to work with and I love the colorway. FYI- It’s Dream in Color Baby. You can also read more about the progress of how this Big Bad Baby Blanket is coming along in my projects page on ravelry.

Here we are at 31 weeks! Wow! I really can’t believe how fast the time has gone. My preggers appointments are now every other week and when I hit the 35 week mark it’s every week to see the doc until little man makes his big entrance! Everywhere I go people are asking me how I’m doing… I’m actually feeling just fine. I eat like a horse, my energy level is pretty good, and I’m loving feeling our little guy move about it my tummy! :) It’s the greatest! Oh, and… hubby has even felt the nut; he felt a pretty good kick-a-roo the other night. Pretty exciting!
Since it seems like my belly is growing by the minute, my plan is to have hubby take a pic of me and the nut weekly up until delivery time. Here are a couple of pics of us taken in our backyard this afternoon.
I’m off to watch the Super Bowl! Hubby and I have made a few friendly wagers to make things interesting… here’s what my $ is on:
-Steelers to win… and I’ve even given 7 points to hubby to start, yes– I’m that confident!
-Cards win coin toss
-Steelers for the first passing touchdown
-Cards for the first rushing touchdown
-Over/Under Bet- I’m saying under by 46 1/2 points
Wish me luck!!!
