I'm actually feeling really good today...I feel almost like my normal self again! Hopefully this will be the running trend for a while and not just a one day fluk, lol! Can't believe I'll be 4 months into this pregnancy this Saturday (03/18). The first trimester seemed to drag on and on, but ever since the second has started, time has started flying by.

I think I may have felt the baby move on Monday for the first time, but I'm not sure. It was very faint and only lasted a few seconds but it felt like little bubbles popping or something like that low in my tummy. I haven't felt it since then though so maybe it was something else...who knows. :)

My eating habits are still not the best. I'm still having a hard time finding foods that sound appealing to me. So far all that ever sounds good is fruit like apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries and I think I've become addicted to Einstein's egg and swiss sandwiches...soooo yummy! But one, especially a pregnant one, cannot live off of fruit and egg sandwiches forever. :) I need to start eating more protein and a little less carbs but carbs are the only things that sound good to me right now. Hopefully when the weather gets warmer and we are able to start BBQing again I'll be able to stomach chicken, brauts, and such with ease! I'm crossing my fingers!

Dad is moving into his own place next weekend so John and I are going to start cleaning out the study soon to make room for the nursery. I haven't a clue how we will decorate it. We were thinking of doing a sage green, light blue, and yellow scheme, but now I'm not so sure. I think we'll just have to find the bedding we like first and then base the colors off of that. Although we really don't plan on staying in this house for more then another year or so, so not sure if we will even do that much decorating since this little one won't be in that room long enough to really appreciate the decor, lol!

I have our 19 week doctors appointment April 11th, were they informed me that I have to do the whole yearly exam thing again, uggh! Don't know why...it hasn't been a year since my last one, but whatever. After that they will schedule me for our second ultrasound, which we are sooooo looking forward too! Our last one was at 6 1/2 weeks which only showed a little dot in my uterus confirming that I was indeed pregnant but that was it. They should be able to tell the sex of the baby as well, but we have decided not to find out what we are having....much to the dismay and disappointment of my family, so we'll have to turn our heads when they get to that part of the ultrasound. :)

I really think I only have a few more weeks before I will be in full-on maternity clothes which I find strange because I've only gained 3 lbs...but yet my clothes are fitting so tight. It must be all the expanding my body is doing in my hips, rib cage, uterus, and who knows where else, to prepare some room for this little bean to live and grow. :) I still have a few pair of pants that fit me, but not for much longer, lol! I'm hoping to get through the rest of winter in my regular clothes so that when I do have to start buying maternity they can all be for the spring and summer. Save some money! :)

Well, this is all I have today for an update on me and our little bean. I need to go hunt down some lunch know because my stomach is growling at me. :)

I can't believe we are almost half way through this pregnancy. The little bean sure grows fast. Hey sweetie, I have some old t-shirts you can cut up and make into half shirts. That way, your belly can enjoy the cool summer breeze of the rocky mountains. Love ya!
