22 Weeks Today!

Yeah for another week to check off the calendar! We have another ultrasound scheduled for today to check measurements and the baby's major organs. I have been so lucky to have so many ultrasounds to put my mind at ease....I really look forward to them. It's amazing to see such huge development over such a short period of time and I love to see the little guy jumping around in there, it's so fun.

After the ultrasound, Dave is treating me to a steak & shrimp dinner (not sure which restaurant we'll be going to yet)! Just a brief history: pre-pregnancy, I would only include red meat in my diet once or twice a month and the rest would be chicken, fish, or vegetarian. I just was not a red meat person, plus I was trying to keep meals more healthful. Since becoming pregnant, I haven't had chicken in 5 months! It tastes like trash to me. Seriously. I have become a huge red-meat eater and I can't get enough of roast beef, burgers, and carne asada. So weird!! The funny thing is that Dave is trying to lay off red meat, but with my new crave on the rise, he has no choice but to eat it. However, tonight I'll be ordering the steak & shrimp and he'll be having the baked potato & salad. Dave eating salad. HA!!!

It's so weird how every one craves differant things. The thought of eating any red meat while I'm pregnant literally makes me vomit. At first I have a hard time with chicken, but after the first couple of months I can eat a little of it. Heather craved read meat too. YUCK, only when I'm prego. It's weird though because the minute the babies are out of me then I can totally eat red meat. After Kylee I sent Rocky rigt down to the cafateria and had him me a burger and mashed potatoes. YUM! Have fun on your date! Let's totally plan the weekend of the 18th to get together with the Jones.

Ultrasounds are so much fun!! Have fun on your date. Good luck to Dave... eating "light" is so hard when doing it alone and even more so when other super yum-not-so "light" food is in reach.
