So I had my doctor appointment last week. I am gaining a great amount of weight. I have avoided bed rest once again! Of course I didn’t tell him about the cramping and contractions. But they’ve been so mild and inconsistent that I’m not going to panic over them. If I rest, it helps. If I avoid stress, it really helps. The costochondritis feels like it’s healing. It is still painful and hard to breathe at times, but it’s not even as close to as bad as it was.

I have also decided that this little guy is NOT a fan of meat. Well raw meat anyways. I LOVE steak and that will never change. But I can’t seem to be around it without wanting to puke. That is something that I have never experienced before. I am still not feeling him move. HOWEVER, I did feel him kick about every 10 minutes during the New Moon showing! Since then, NOTHING. I know he was just as excited as I was to see Edward and Jacob on the big screen!

So according to my weekly newsletters, I am carrying a Mango. Why do they have to compare a baby to food? Seriously I love mangoes and if I eat one now, I’ll think of eating my baby! Taste just like chicken right? Anyways, I have to THANK all of you for the well wishes lately. I have been awful about replying to you because I was really busy with some things. I will say that I know I will do great with a boy! You will all see the struggles and joys that go along with it. Calling it an adventure is like calling Britney, Mother Theresa. Seriously it is going to be an adventure times 100! Oh and I was looking forward to a girl just because I thought after 4 girls, I’d have enough practice with the whole puberty thing, that I’d do great this time. Now I got to start all over. LOL
