3 months

Yesterday I was 99.8% sure I was having twins or my date was way off.  I've been feeling HUGE lately.  And when I look at myself I look HUGE (for what I think 3 months should be).
But then I took pictures and compared to my last baby bellies, and apparently it's all in my head.  There is no difference.
Huh.
Maybe it's just because we've been so busy and I haven't really had time to notice this wee one growing.  Or maybe it's because whenever a camera is pointed at my belly I subconsciously stand up taller and look thinner.
Anyways, I don't think I'm having twins anymore :)
(I took about 30 pictures and made sure I wasn't sucking in.  They all look the same.)


I'm feeling much better these days.  I get a sick day maybe once a week now and my energy is back....I think....(the past week we had people over and there was many late nights so I'm blaming my frequent naps on that and a touch of the flu)

I've gained 3 lbs so far.  Normal for me.  I didn't *quite* get down to my normal between baby weight after Kalli, but I don't think 2 pounds is anything to complain about.

The first 2 months of this pregnancy I was ravenously hungry.  For example: one evening before bed while I was making Brian's lunch for the next day I made myself 2 big buns (with meat & cheese, etc...).  Then I woke up at 3 am because I was hungry!!!  It was getting out of control.  All I was doing was eating, feeling (more) sick if I was hungry, and thinking about food.  I finally decided to wean Kalli because it was starting to become overwhelming.  So, now I've just got the normal pregnancy hunger - not the drive you insane kind :)

I was thinking I could figure out this babies gender by my cravings.  Brennan was OJ (and ceasar salad), Kellan was eggs and protein (I think...), Kalli I had NO taste for sugar.  This time, I love orange juice, eggs AND I have no cravings for sugar.  Huh.
The chinese gender prediction test has been 3/3 so far - so according to that I am having a.....BOY!
I charted the babies heart beats on a graph and Kalli's was WAY different then the boys so we'll have to see if that gives me any clues! :)

Anyways, that's my 3 month update.  6 more to go!

haha that you think you are bigger than your picture shows. I always think I'm smaller and then I see the picture and I'm like "woa!" You always have such a nice sized belly when you are pregnant. What are we, two days apart? How exciting!
