DR. APPOINTMENT #3!

19 weeks in! Went in for appointment #3. Did my pee check in, and waited to be called in. Nurse calls me in and weighs me in at a whopping 104 lbs. Dr. comes in checks the heartbeat and cracks a few little jokes then says everything is perfect! Hearts ticking away just nicely and I'm gaining the perfect amount of weight for 19 weeks. I had to "HA!" at Barry because he think I'm not eating enough. Dr. M just said as long as I'm not eating junk food, WHICH I'M NOT, then I'll be fine. He says the main problem he gets is people overeating and overdoing it with junk food...not eating for 2, people!

Every morning Barry asks me what I'm going to eat. I usually have cereal and some fruit, but for Barry that's not enough. So he makes me a protein shake before he dilly dallys off to work. Aww what a guy :) and sometimes he makes me scrambled eggs with toast. He makes good eggs. A few times I had to go wake him up to make me eggs. I don't like eggs too much, and I don't like touching them, nor cleaning up after them, but if someone makes it for me, then I'll eat it...still not my favourite, but I'll eat it.

I've also experienced more movement than last week. Still not ninja status, just little flutters, specially right after I eat. It's still strange to me having another organism sprouting away inside of me. Now it's able to hear our voices! My mum told me to talk to it, so I said "hi". We listen to a lot of music together in the car. I read that you should play more soothing songs rather than crazy upbeat stuff since it may startle the little scaredy cat. So I toned it down a little. Times like this remind me of when I was growing up...my dad insisted that we listen to Pink Floyd in hopes that one day we'll get older and have good taste in music. Not sure how it worked out for others, but it definitely worked on me, so I'm passing the torch on to our offspring...one brick in the wall at a time...(Hah, see what I did there?)

So that's the update for now. This coming week we're going to find out the gender of our little friend, and we'll finally be able to refer to it as "he" or "she" rather than "it". We've got a little family bet started, losers buy the winners dinner. It's not looking so good for Barry's parents - hahaha!
