Valentine's Day

Davin cooked me an absolutely amazing meal for Valentine's Day. We had battered coconut shrimp with an orange dipping sauce and a roasted veggie pasta with fresh herbs and spices. For dessert he made chocolate dipped strawberries. It was delicious! I have the best husband in the world!

After dinner I had Davin take a few more pregnancy pics of me for the new baby scrapbook I've started. I love being pregnant!

It's a...

BOY!!! We're super excited to find out that our baby is a boy! It's so nice to say "he" instead of "it." Our appointment went really well, and everything checked out fine. We got to see him moving around a lot which was a relief to me because I still can't feel him consistently. The lady had to practically tip me on my head to try and get his head out of my pelvis. I guess he likes to ride low. It was funny to watch him be uncooperative by keeping both arms in front of his face when she was trying to get a picture of his nose and lips (checking for cleft palate). Here are a few more pics from our appointment today. Isn't he beautiful?

Down with a Stomach Bug

On Tuesday night I started feeling pretty woozie. I wasn't sure if the baby or my stomach was the one doing somersaults. I woke up at midnight and after sitting in the bathroom for an hour my stomach confirmed that it wasn't the baby. I'm still not sure if I had the flu or food poisoning, but it wasn't pleasant. (Man, am I glad I got to skip morning sickness! This was awful!) I only got sick twice, but I felt pretty bad all Wednesday and part of Thursday and ran a low fever. I called the doctor to make sure the baby and I were okay, and they told me what to look out for. After lots of rest, I am feeling much better today. I was glad to be able to eat my first full meal for dinner last night.
