Random Pregnancy Thoughts

I don't really have very much to say but I thought I would write down a few things because I'm sure in a few years I won't remember this if I don't write it down now. 

-  I am starting to feel better now but I still have a few hours where I definitely feel sick again but it isn't an all day thing like it used to be - yay! 

-  I am slowly incorporating foods back into my diet that since my morning sickness started I haven't been eating.  The foods I have been eating the most are fruit Popsicles, bagels with cream cheese and jelly, grilled cheese sandwiches, and any and all types of fruits. 

-  It's weird how sensations that I thought I had pretty much mastered at 28 are completely changed now that I'm pregnant.  Sensations like hunger, having to pee, or an upset stomach.  These are totally different now.  Sometimes i think "I think I'm hungry but i don't really know."  or "I think i have to pee but I'm not really sure" 

-  Portion sizes are tricky for me.  I guess going for weeks with not really eating food caused my stomach to shrink.  So I can't eat much in one sitting.  I typically have a bowl of cereal at 9:30pm and last night I was starving so I ate one bowl.  But I was still hungry so I ate a second bowl.  IT WAS TOO MUCH!!!  I was so uncomfortably full.  Note to self: you can't eat two bowls of cereal in one sitting. 

-  I'm still not really sleeping that well but I'm guessing that my body is preparing me to be getting up every 2 hours with a baby.

-  I've had two dreams that this baby is a girl.  But when I refer to the baby to other people and in my head I say "he".  I'm so confused now.  Richie says its because almost all of my friends have boys and that objects are generally referred to as he.  He thinks it is a girl. 

That's pretty much it for now. 

Here is a picture of the sonogram at 12 weeks. 


I think the baby has my nose.  Richie says I'm ridiculous.  What do you think?

Sweet 17 Months

Luke: weighs approx. 27 lbs not sure how tall has 8 teeth and one coming in wears size 5 diapers wears size 2T clothing wears size 6 shoes Takes 1 nap - approximately an hour and a half during the day Almost always sleeps through the night Someone asked me the other day what Luke was like.  I was a little taken aback because I couldn't find the words to say to explain him.  Mostly because he's such a complex little guy.  So in honor of his (almost) 17 month milestone, I thought I'd try to capture some of his essence.  Luke is such a bright ray of sun.  He is generally pretty happy and he loves to laugh.  And when he does he laughs way deep, down in his belly.   his big ole grin He also loves food.  There are so many times that I feel like there is no possible way he could STILL be eating.  But he keeps saying "more" and signing more.  he's a happy boy for food! He also likes to be scared.  Many hours are spent by running around a

Letters

some of these lines have been floating around in my head for several weeks now and they just came together tonight.  It's one of those things that I just couldn't get out of my head until I wrote it down.  letters written letters read letters from souls who are dead letters carved upon a grave letters are the things I save letters written on those lines letters penned from hands that are mine letters in a spot near to my bed letters memorized in my head letters inked upon my skin letters from a voice within letters with a sense of peace letters that are meant to ease letters written letters sent letters confirming what I meant letters ushering the peace I've found letters soothe my crying sounds letters containing things unsaid All I have are letters written letters read

Advice I WOULD have given

I had to write a letter of advice to a fictitious 16 year old girl giving my sage advice about the business world.  Of course I thought of Brittany immediately and even though she isn't here for me to tell her these things, this is what I WOULD have told her if she had asked.  The professor told me that it was "really lovely" and "one of the best letters from the class".  I thought I'd share because why the heck not.  Maybe one day I'll have a baby girl to tell these things to......          Dear Brittany, I am flattered that you think so highly of me that you are seeking my advice.   I have found these ideas immensely helpful to me and I hope you will find as much success with them as I have.   Being a young woman has many advantages, but I have always believed that a woman should be able to support herself no matter what life brings her way.   Because of this, I am a huge proponent of education.   In addition to getting your Bachelor’s
