Bun Update

IT'S A GIRL!!!

I had an ultrasound this morning and it showed that the little bun is indeed a girl. From the way everything looks, she is right where she should be growth wise and looks healthy. The sceptic in me says, "are they sure? It probably will be a boy, she probably didn't look at it right, she couldn't tell me it's actually a boy after I was crying out of sheer delight (oh, there's the pee pee after all), it doesn't look like a hamburger or a turtle to me". If I get rid of all my boy things it's sure to be a boy. I'll post the pics as soon as I can get to a scanner, I don't have one.

Odd Craving

Anyone who knows me well knows that I absolutely HATE eggs. I have not eaten one in over 20 years when I was a kid, except on the occasional Eggs Benedict when I am very picky about how it is prepared (must be poached very hard) or on an Egg McMuffin where I always order a knife along with it so I can cut away any part that we call Lace, in the south. Scrambled eggs, fried eggs, omelets, heck no. I can't even smell them cooking without literally having dry heaves. That is why this food craving has come as such a shock to me. When we were on our crazy trip to East TN. my aunt made a fritatta. I had seen them prepared on cooking shows and swore them off because the main ingredient is eggs. She packed it full of cheese and tons of roasted veggies. I had to at least give it a tiny taste. I was so surprised that I liked it, no I didn't like it, I loved it, and was now addicted to it and knew that I would crave it. We went out for breakfast last week and I ordered an omelet. Hubby ordered something else just in case the outside was crusty and full of lace which I couldn't handle. But no, it was delicious. Then my cousin sent me a wonderful recipe for ziploc bag omelets where you place all of your ingredients in a bag and then into boiling water. They are perfect for me. No lace because they don't touch a pan. I have been making them a lot since he sent me the recipe. Granted, they have to be packed full of stuff for me to eat them, and I can't eat any part that is just egg, but still, this is very surprising for me that I actually like the one food that I had sworn off so many years ago. I wonder if it is a pregnancy craving or if I will always like them.

Drowning Fish

A few years ago we put a goldfish pond in our backyard. I bought the cheapest little goldfish I could find. I think they were $.19 a piece. I bought 4. They were getting really big and the 4 fish had turned into many. I loved going out to the pond and seeing all the different colors the babies were and seeing if I could spot any new ones. I have not been taking very good care of it this year and the water level was getting really low. I put the hose out there to fill it up. Later that night I was getting ready for bed and heard water running somewhere. I looked all around and could not figure out for the life of me where it was coming from. I finally just chalked it up to being the dishwasher running. I woke up at around 5:45 the next morning and still heard the water running and finally it dawns on me where this is coming from. I run outside and to my surprise my yard isn't flooded. Everything looked good still (except for my upcoming water bill I'm sure). The next day I was trying to get some of this very annoying plant out of the pond, when I discovered that the fish were dead. I drowned my fish.

Bun Update

I had a doctor's appointment this week and he said that everything is looking good. The baby's heartrate was 143. The great news is, I gained 8 pounds in a month. Hooray! (please note sarcasm) Guess I need to lay off the Hershey's Special Dark. Our next appointment is an ultrasound on the 29th. Then Bun can get a real name. Please be a girl, please be a girl, please be a girl.
