Josh and I went to my monthly OB appointment yesterday and everything looks great! We were even able to schedule my next sonogram where we get to find out the sex or our baby! So February 26th is the big day and we are excited!
I have created a little poll for you all (on the right) to see what you think we're having. Polls close Thursday morning February 26th, so don't forget to vote!

Lettuce Wraps
I feel like I'm getting my cooking groove back! When I wasn't feeling too well during my first trimester, the thought of cooking anything was pretty much repulsive to me. Slowly but surely I'm starting to enjoy cooking again. I used to try to make a new recipe each week and I'm trying to get back into that habbit.
Well last night I made lettuce wraps using a PF Changs recipe I found online. Josh loves PF Changs lettuce wraps. I gave him a disclaimer that the lettuce wraps might not turn out exactly as you remember having them in the restaurant, and I wanted to cover myself just in case I totally screwed it up.
Well, in words of my favorite husband last night, he told me the meal was 4 stars! A+! Exactly like the restaurant! He loved them! I can't even tell you how excited I was the entire night, and even this morning, to know Josh really enjoyed last night's dinner.

16 Week Belly Pic
I'm not so sure how comfortable I am of doing this but here goes nothing. This is for you Brittany!
Here is a picture when we first found out we were pregnant, I think I was about 5 or 6 weeks here. This is also pre-Thanksgiving and Christmas belly.
I have a book that I read when I start a new week of my pregnancy that let's me know what is going on with my baby and body. This week I learned that I really shouldn't be sleeping on my back or laying on my back at all. Apparently, this causes your uterus to press on the inferior vena cava (a major vein that returns blood from your lower body to your heart), resulting in dizziness, low blood pressure, and a possible reduction in blood flow to your uterus. So even though I was never a back sleeper, now that is how I want to be sleeping. I had a pretty rough night of switching from my right to my left side and fighting the urge to want to sleep on my back. There was a time during last night when I was on my back and Josh gave me a nice little nudge over on my side. I've heard putting a pillow in the middle of the bed right up against my back should help me from rolling on my back. I'm sure this is only the beginning of sleep becoming a bit more difficult for me.
Also, at the beginning of January I noticed a sort of "fluttering" or "bubbles" feeling in my lower left abdomen, and I've felt it a couple more times. I thought it was just the baby having gas but from what I've been reading, I think I've already been able to feel the baby. It's never lasted a long time. It's almost like I have a cell phone vibrating in my uterus (and it's always been on the left side). I got kind of emotional on Saturday when I realized this. I can't wait until Josh and I both can feel the baby kicking.

And here I am at 16 weeks. My brother calls this my "joey or joanne". My big brother is so excited to become an uncle. I don't think my child will ever hear the word "no" come from my him.
