Fridge Raiding

Uni has been growing steadily since our last appointment and is now supposed to weigh close to 3 pounds. This growth doesn’t surprise me one bit considering how hungry I’ve been lately. Almost every morning I wake up and the first thought that crosses my mind has something to do with what my choices are for breakfast that morning. My stomach literally growls at 7 am, something I’ve never experienced before in my life! Jered took this photo as evidence that a) we are practicing our parenting skills by showing off pictures of Uni on the fridge and b) I am wearing down the linoleum around the refrigerator door!

I’ve been really lucky in that most of my cravings have been nutritious- lately I’ve had a hankering for strawberries, almonds, milk, yogurt and various forms of protein. I was fully expecting to want cookies, ice cream, chips and other naughty foods, but other than the occasional indulgence it seems my body knows what and how much I need to grow a healthy baby without growing too much extra mom. Being pregnant is a surreal experience- the little person inside me is growing and all I have to do is get plenty of rest, take my multivitamin, avoid bungee jumping and eat a good breakfast!

We got a neat surprise in the mail last week from Jered’s Grammy and Grampy- once we charge the camera we’ll be sharing pictures of Uni’s first puppet with everyone. Check back later this week!
