hmm boy or girl?


so here is my 1st actual pregnancy update... it's about time. i'm 19 weeks as of yesterday!

i am finally getting some good rest @ night which is a huge blessing! i was excited for the 2nd trimester for this reason... but weeks 14-16 were horrendous for me due to severe allergies & little sleep! more so than my nausea during weeks 6-8. thankfully, the allergies died down & now it is getting hard for me to wake up early whatsoever.

here is a cute idea i got from my cute prego friend, kendall.

Food Cravings:
1. coke icees!
2. grape slushies from sonic
3. sonic tater tots
4. chocolate carnation instant breakfast w/skim milk (look forward to this every morn!)
5. pasta salad, pasta salad, pasta salad (& i never liked the stuff pre-pregoness)
6. chick-fil-a lemonade (let's be honest, that's always been a craving of mine)
7. dill pickles, extra crunchy
8. subway grilled chicken sandwich (honey oat bread, cheese, lettuce, tomato, extra pickles, mayo, red wine vinegar, salt & pepper)
9. sushi - california roll (fake sushi)
10. chips & salsa (preferably @ el toro)

Food Aversions:
1. beef stew
2. meatloaf
3. lasagna
4. steak
5. hamburgers
6. browning ground beef (hmm i see a trend)
7. BBQ
8. really, any creamy beefy things
9. supreme pizza or mighty meaty wick
10. roast beef

we find out in 2 days - this Friday (our 5th anniversary!) if we are having a boy or girl. so based on some old wives' tales, let's see what i am predicted to have.....

* You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy - BOY
* Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute - GIRL
* You are craving salty or sour foods - BOY
* You are carrying low - BOY
* Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you - BOY :)
* Your belly looks like a watermelon - GIRL (well... not sure yet, but it's shaping to be more of a watermelon than a basketball)
* You are having headaches - BOY
* You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy - GIRL (girls supposedly suck the beauty away from you, while boys add beauty to their mommies)
* Your breasts have really blossomed! - i wish! this is true if you're having a GIRL, so this a BOY point for me
* Your face breaks out more than usual - GIRL (awesome!)
* You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number - GIRL
* You are craving protein -- meats and cheese - true for a boy... NOT true, so - GIRL
* Had Trent look at my eye & tell me which eyeball had a split blood vessel - in my left eye - BOY

**grand total.... BOY: 7, GIRL: 6**

hmmm... well we will see if the old wives' tales are correct in 2 days! will keep you posted!
