As of today, I am now 17 weeks and 3 days pregnant. We still don't know the gender of the baby and I spend a LOT of time wondering if I'm carrying a little boy or a little girl. I decided to look on the "webernet" (Josh's name for the internet) to see what types of wives tales are out there and quizzes I could take to see what they say I'm going to have. Here are a few of the results:
My mother's intuition (since day one) says that I'm having a BOY.
Based on the Childbirth.org quiz, I am having a GIRL.
Based on the Parents.com quiz, it could go EITHER WAY.
Based on the Chinese Gender Chart I am having a BOY.
Justmommies.com thinks I have a 58% chance of a GIRL.
Babyzone.com CAN'T TELL.
Well, that's clear as mud...
P.S. We find out on November 29th...
As of today, I am now 15 weeks and 3 days pregnant and I'm finally getting over my morning sickness. We all know that pregnant women have a heightened sense of smell, but did you also know that eventually you also have a stronger/better sense of taste? It's true and now I have a new "problem". It's called food. Delicious, delicious food.
I have always had a healthy appetite and there's not a whole lot of food that I don't enjoy, but just recently food is just so... how do you say? YUMMY!!!
I don't crave anything in particular and I don't snack (at least not yet), but put a meal in front of me, and I'll tell you - more than once probably - that it's the most delicious _____ I've ever eaten!
Take today for instance. At lunch my friend and I went to The Original Pancake House. I had a BLT with scrambled eggs and hash browns. Before I got pregnant, I didn't love bacon; however, now it's just too good to pass up! As I munched away, I commented about how good it was. Then, I tasted the hash browns. They were, in a word, awesome! Crunchy on the outside, soft and mushy on the inside. And they were cubed (which I didn't like before today) instead of shredded. SO GOOD!
After lunch I was at a friend's desk and we were talking about getting food at sporting events. I said, "what makes a sporting event hot dog so good?!" My friend and I agreed that it's all because of the bun, which I described as "beautifully amazing". My friend said, "do you realize that out of all the things on earth that are "beautifully amazing", to you, it's a hot dog bun?!"
Yep. I'm pregnant all right.
