pickles & lemon aid

I've devoured two baby dill pickles already and I am currently working on my third.  Not sure what's up with me and dill pickles tonight but I can't seem to get enough.  I'd probably drink the pickle juice from the jar too if I let myself. (I know sounds gross eh!) This baby has my taste buds all over the place. With Kaylin I couldn't get enough ice cream...with this baby I don't even remember the last time I actually ate ice cream.  I'd much rather drink a tall glass of lemon aid, or pepsi, eat a hand full of sour patch kids or devour every pickle that's in our fridge. lol This is very strange for a person that normally can't get enough ice cream, we used to go threw a container or two a week, but not anymore it's lost all of it's appeal to me.  I think that's why I'm leaning more towards boy then girl this time around but I guess we'll see in time.  :)

17 weeks

So want to know some more random/weird facts about me? Sure you do....

I refuse to sleep in a pitch black house/apartment/room, I need at least one nightlight on at all times during the night.

I can not sleep with socks on. I will often go to bed with them on to avoid touching the cold sheets  but as soon as the sheets are warm enough the socks come off. This is why piles of my socks end up at the bottom of my bed.

I have one cousin who is older then me and 14 that are younger.  (I love them all to bits!!)

Growing up I thought I'd be the very last one out of all my cousins to get married, boy was I very wrong I ended up being the first.

When I get over tired I become a crazy perfectionist and must have everything in it's place/organized/cleaned. This perfectionism is often so bad that I have been known to throw things out that I  didn't have a place for and seemed very useless to keep at the time.

I am terrible shy around new people and probably come across to others as snobbish or rude but I'm just very unsure of myself until I get to know people really well.

Although I am terrible shy and have trouble opening up to people, I love being around large groups of people. I love going to parties, family gatherings...just don't expect me to be the first one to jump up and start dancing to a cool song or sing any karaoke.

So there you have it just a few facts for your reading pleasure!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas week!!

Update

This blog has been very neglected over the last three months and I'm hoping and praying to start posting a little more now that the my first trimester symptoms are finally settling down.  This pregnancy has been so much harder on me physically then when I was pregnant with my sweet baby girl.....so much so it kind of makes me scared to try again after this little one arrives.  Which I have to admit kind of makes me feel a little sad; growing up I'v always dreamed of having a busy house hold with 4-5 kids...a couple pets...also opening up my home to fostering some children as well. I just love the idea of a busy house but I guess we'll just have to see where the Lord leads this little family next.   

Now I wish I had some baby bump photos to share but that too was very low on my priority list. So instead I would like to  share this ultrasound photo of our babe at around 13 weeks. (about 2 weeks ago.)

It really amazes me how at only a few inches long (approx the size of a peach) just how much our baby well looked like a baby already.....we could see their little individual fingers, watched them stretch their arms up over their tiny head...we even thought we caught a glimpse of possible thumb sucking...all at only 13 weeks. It was just amazing!  Life is a miracle!! 

Now here is a recent photo of my first sweet miracle Kaylin. She turned 2 at the end of September and is turning in to the sweetest little girl. Just yesterday we even caught her counting to 12 all on her own....(not  all letters said with the greatest clarity) but it was still a proud WOW moment for the hubby and I.  Kaylin is going to be a great big sister!! 

Happy Thursday Everyone!
