I do NOT like you, little orange drink!


This, my friend, is hell trapped in a bottle....the drink itself, not too bad. Not good, but drinkable. The aftermath of drinking it = B-A-D.  My nurse told me it's the sugar equivalence to eating an entire chocolate cake to yourself.  At first I had the shakes, and then I crashed and burned and felt super sick. Which is weird because I love candy~ you think my body would welcome the sugar. The good news is that I passed the glucose test, no diabetes for me! 

Registering....what an adventure!

Yep, we parked here.
Checking out the rockers.
Not the gun Mark is used to, but still a gun. :)
Trying to register for our baby boy, was trickier then I thought it would be! I thought Mark and I would go in the store and rock it!  We were lucky enough to have printed off emails from other moms! Thanks you ladies! You were a life saver. But.....even with those emails, each liking different things, we were a little LOST! It's crazy that people who have never had a baby, register for everything a baby would need! How are we supposed to know?! We were in the store for 3 hours---talk about a time warp! Besides being a little overwhelmed, I would say our trip to Babies-R-US, was a success!   It was fun to imagine our little man using these things and fun to do this with Mark, just us.

24 Weeks, 110 days to go!




24 weeks, 6 months preggo or maybe 5, I don't really get the whole month thing because really woman are pregnant for 10 months not 9 months. Either way, I'm getting closer. :)

At this point I am feeling quite large and in charge...I know I still have a long ways to go and shouldn't complain. Because really, I am just getting bigger and will be for the next 16 weeks. This is the shirt I wore on 'meet the teacher night' to HIDE my belly. Turns out in 3 weeks this belly is no longer hideable in this shirt! Or any other for that matter. 

-Something weird, my belly button is getting super shallow. Guessing soon, I will have an outie. Eeeeek, belly button's weird me out!

Cravings: 
- crackers and chips (I know not good, and to be really honest, CANDY!) But I don't drink caffeine so I feel like that evens it out.  Sugar vs. Caffeine. 
-red meat one time
-cotton candy and movie theater popcorn...both of which I  have been wanting for months. 
**So pretty much the things that always sound delicious to me are REALLY HEALTHY! :(

Dislikes:
-nothing



Ultra sound 23 weeks




 Here's our little guy at 23 weeks! This is our last ultra sound, I wish we could see him every week! :(
