Well today marks the beginning of week 16. The baby is about the size of a rubber ducky this week, about 5-6 inches. Bebe is growing hair, eyebrows and eyelashes and has the ability to move all of its joints. The sex is now evident and we will find out on my birthday, August 6! So, this leads to our poll on the side of the blog as to whether you feel it is a boy or a girl. It is anonymous, so feel to put down what you really think. Please give a vote, this should be fun!
We also added the option to subscribe. I did not realize I had to activate this, but it is there now and you should be able to put the blog on your home page and see new updates as they happen. And please try to remember to comment every once in a while and let me know if it is still not working.
It seems this past week things seemed to finally come together for me. I have been feeling better and much less nauseous. Yeah! I even felt well enough Friday night that John and I went out for Italian. Now when I feel hungry I just feel hungry, not like I am going to get sick. I feel like eating salad and fruit, so my diet should be much better now. My belly continues to seem larger than it should to me, but I keep getting told that it looks like a pregnant belly, not a over filled one.
I had another appointment this past week. It was a quick one just checking to see if the heart beat was still good. It was much easier to find this time. The midwife I saw this week was okay, but not my favorite so far. She seemed in a bit of a hurry even though I was the first appointment after lunch and was 15 minutes late. One more to see and then I will decide.
Not much else going on for us this week. We had a rainy weekend and I worked five days this week, including yesterday. It seemed long after having been napping so much lately and not exercising too much. It was nice to get the extra hours.
John was excited about an article we heard about in Mens Health magazine from this year. It was a list of Anthony Bourdain's 13 restaurants to eat at before you die. Number 13 was our local favorite BBQ joint, Oklahoma Joe's! He says, "People may disagree on who has the best BBQ. Here, the brisket (particularly the burnt ends), pulled pork, and ribs are all of a quality that meet the high standards even of Kansas City natives. It's the best BBQ in Kansas City, which makes it the best BBQ in the world." Kind of cool.
