I'm Baaaaaaaaaaack!

Look at me! I'm online! My dad let me borrow one of his computers while my stepdad is working on mine. Thank heaven for those guys!

SO we got to hear the heartbeat again today!! woo hoo! AND... we scheduled our big ultrasound which is for November 6th. After hearing the heartbeat, the doctor guessed that the baby is a GIRL. Haha, we'll see! In the beginning, I felt positive that it was a girl, but lately I've been saying "he" or "him" all the time. Maybe that has something to do with Joshua insisting that it's definitely a boy. So really, I'll be totally shocked either way because I still can't imagine having a son or a daughter!

Last week I started feeling great! I had so much energy that I looked for any reason to get out of the house, but that could have had something to do with the amazing weather we've been having. Saturday and Sunday were the first days that I felt no nausea at all. I thought for sure the "morning" sickness was gone. Thought too soon. Monday I was so sick that I had trouble staying awake, and Tuesday I almost puked up ramen noodles. Wednesday and Thursday I was able to make it through my meals but still had bits of nausea appear here and there. It's got to be almost over though!

One important thing that I wanted to write about over a week ago when it happened was that I had my first craving! My craving for a snowball was off the roof! Now before my pregnancy this would not be unusual; however, since I've been pregnant, not only do I not crave anything but I never want to eat anything. So I was very excited to finally want something! Since then, I've been craving Funions almost everyday for the last week.

So you may be wondering what I've been doing since I haven't been able to get online. You'll never guess this one.... knitting! I took my first knitting class last Saturday and I've been working on a scarf. Sunday, Cherie' and I got together and I taught her everything I learned in class, and she'll be joining me next Saturday for my second class. I'm hoping to complete a decent baby blanket one day.

BELLY PICS! I know you want to see those! Well, you can't. Not today anyway. I have to upload them and I plan to do all that tomorrow. Hopefully, my internet will still be working by then. Ha!

Oh about my weight gain... I gained 5lbs since my last doctor visit four weeks ago, so that's a total of 13lbs. eek!
