So, here we are at week 15. I gotta say that when I have a big meal, this belly puffs out and I happen to think it's hilarious!! I look like I'm 6 months pregnant here, but I'm only 4. I'm enjoying it while I have it though and I am fully aware of everything I put in my mouth. I eat very healthy, actually and have a salad every single day with plenty of fresh fruit and veggies. I'm still not diggin on chicken, but hopefully this too shall pass. I am totally ok with meat though and can't get enough of it!! It's funny when people start giving me their advice and old wives tale theories. I'm a perfect mix of both gender theories! I can't get enough of fresh fruit and veggies and could live off of that if it were just me in this body! I'm not huge on the salt right now, but I sure don't have an issue with eating a snickers!! I used to not really be excited about a steak, but I made an unbelievable ribeye for us on Valentine's Day and I've been thinking about those damn steaks so lustfully ever since. I will tell you, ice cream isn't my thing. While I like it and will eat it for that cold yummy treat, I'm more excited about Minute Maid frozen lemonade push pops. YUMMO!!!! All in all, I'm just happy to be able to hold food down these days. I ate the better chunk of a watermelon last night and I now know what heaven must taste like. It was so deelish and I had to MAKE myself stop so I didn't throw up or explode!!
I really don't care what gender this baby is, I'm happy to be sharing this time with him or her. I am so happy and feel so darn lucky that God picked me and my body to be the vessel for growing this sweet little life that will join us soon. I think about all the things I want to do with the baby and all the things I can't wait to show and teach this baby too. I think about if it's a girl, all the mani/pedis we'll get together and all the clothes we'll buy, all the "girl talks" and all the heart-shaped cookies we'll bake together for daddy. If it's a boy, I'll do whatever I can to not feel left out with him and Scott, but I know that all little boys have a very special place in their hearts for their mama.
Whatever it is that God decides to give me, I promise to love and adore this child for the rest of my days and beyond. I don't think I've ever felt love quite like this and I don't even know the sex!!!
