To measure or not to measure

To measure or not to measure! This is the question. My mother told me I should start measuring my belly now, and I say hell no! After parker, I packed on 20lb's and didn't shed them, because I knew ultimately I would have one more...So why go through all that work? The time has come and I am now with #2. So the belly was already there. I will not measure until the middle of the second trimester when you can actually tell it is a baby and not just FAT!

Parker is cute as always asking what the baby is doing now...all the time. He tells his teachers how big my belly will get and that everything I eat he/she eats. He calls it she...:) Feeling good, getting bigger and ready to get to where my belly is showing! My next appointment is Feb 10th. I will be 16 weeks. They tell me that they can try to take a peak and see if it is a girl or boy! Yeah! I won't buy anything until 20 weeks where I officially find out.

I have to say I am not as hungry and or craving food as much as when I am not pregnant, which saves on our budget, but I really don't like to eat right now. I love food and the taste of food, and so if I don't want anything I really don't want to eat. I know, I know think about the baby, which I am...but man! I could go for some sushi right now...:)

Well, look for another post and video soon of the big 16 week appointment.

Peace!
