Little Miss or Little Mister?!?

Our next Dr's appointment will be August 15 (three weeks from today, yes I am counting down the days!).... also known as the "anatomy scan".  Hopefully baby will cooperate so we will be able to find out the sex!  Something, or some little voice inside of me is telling me that we are having a BOY.  I will be surprised to see girly parts on the screen.  Don't get me wrong... Mike and I absolutely have no preference either way, we will be happy with whatever we get.  Some days I day dream about decorating a boy's nursery, other days I can't stop thinking about a girl's nursery and all of the cute frilly things that I can buy! We'd be in BIG trouble!
How far along? 16 weeks!
Total weight gain: 5 lbs

Maternity clothes? YES! Received TONS of clothes (Thank you Kerry!) and wearing lots of high waisted dresses... it's 100 degrees today!

Stretch marks? NO... still lubing up after the shower.
Sleep:  sleeping great, waking up on my back--which is strange.
Best moment this week: Getting to meet and hold Lincoln James Singley, born 7/20/12.

Movement: I think so... not 100% sure what I felt????
Food cravings: Grapes (must be green and also cold), Orange juice, Pizza
Anything making you queasy or sick: perfume/cologne people wear at work
Gender: almost
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: None
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy! but not much of a morning person (this is normal)
Looking forward to: Gender appointment on 8/15!

"So, how's the baby?"

It amazes me how different peoples reactions are when I tell them I lost my baby. All in all I've only had to answer this question about six times. I know that it doesn't sound like an awful lot but each one still manages to throw me into a funk. Yesterday, three people, today one. I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...

Lessons From the Road

1) My husband is an expert at eating sunflower seeds. Almost squirrel like he stored a hand full of seeds in his cheek, cracked, chewed and spit the shells into an empty Krystal box for hours at a time. After knowing this man for eight years I never knew he had this talent. He attempted to explain the seed eating process to me, but I'm just not that  coordinated. Along with lobster, shrimp and other nuts I just don't see the point of all of the effort it takes to get to a piece of meat or a nut so small. His lovely "spit box" 2) Hotel hair dryers are not normal. No matter where you are. Even at the nicest hotels they still manage to frizz and fry. Don't get me wrong I never leave home without my own personal hairdryer but for some reason I always want to try that cute little convenient one mounted to the wall. (Hotel Dryer) (My Dryer) 3) Never trust a seagull. These birds are mean and they will poop on you. Just lying on the...
