cooler weather.
Jose.
this baby.
being pregnant.
life.

Thought I'd blog real quick I will post a legit entry tomorrow(technically later) after our FIRST OFFICIAL PRENATAL APPOINTMENT! I am so excited about it. I will be 9 weeks and we'll get the hear our little person's heartbeat (hopefully). Our midwife says it may be too early to hear despite the fact that he/she does have one, so who knows either way this having a baby on the way stuff will definitely set in for sure.

I do have quite the bump as the day goes on. In the morning it's pretty much nothing but once it's time for bed I look very much so pregnant (and I love it, I wish I had a basketball for a belly until October right now).

I've started to have cravings more out of the normal. Before I wouldn't second guess going to Taco Bell or any fast food chain, now it sounds almost repulsive. All I want is soup, salad and sandwiches. And sugar... Gatorade, candy, Popsicles, and snow cones. So according to the Chinese Gender Calendar the baby is a boy but according to the old wives' tale the baby is a girl. My mother says that according to the wives' tale (crave salt=boy, crave sugar=girl) all 7 of us were girls. And according to some fertility things on when you tried to get pregnant it's up in the air and could be either or but since boy swimmers swim faster then girl swimmers we are most likely having a girl but who knows. The baby knows, their external sex organs are being formed this week although we won't be able to tell for another 11 weeks or so (and the baby will look like a girl more or less now anyways).

Speaking of the Gender Calendar, I wanted to see how true it was since my mom had a village of children and all, we approximated most of them to be true but they mostly could have been wrong(she couldn't remember how old she was or the exact months she got pregnant, some of us were late and some of us were c-section scheduled...etc.),but Jose tried it out for his mom and he was a girl but it was right with Ben.
