This little peanut is growing fast! (S)he is about an inch long and weighs a quarter of an ounce! I can still fit into my "pre-pregnancy" pants, but shirts are out of the question! I am definitely carrying higher and wider this time. I also haven't been sick or tired like I was with Isaac, which is awesome!! I ran into an old friend that I used to work with at WS Reed and she guessed that I was about 5 months?! As much as I am anxiously awaiting movement (Isaac was felt at 13 weeks and by others at 16-17 weeks), I am not looking forward to rib-kicks again. I was soooo unbelievable bruised by Isaac - the most painful part of the whole pregnancy, including my Au-natural labor and delivery. The only other pain that came remotely close was when the extremely unintelligent nurse was taking blood during a contraction. The plan is to go natural this time as well, and we will be taking la maze classes again, even though I didn't find them very useful?! I am planning on researching the Bradley Method more thoroughly and hope to find a couple in the GR area that teaches the classes. At the very least, I will get the book from the library and save myself $275 - I love the library! We just got a "baby name book" which has been completely useless. We can't decide on anything!!! I am almost hoping that this one is a boy, because we already have Benjamin Gerald picked out. I have been putting the "name of the day" on the bulletin board and Rob put Cleatus for the boy's name. I think that it's out of the question :o)Well, I am off to the grocery store - yippee! Although I have found the ultimate winner of a trick to keeping Isaac quiet and good throughout the whole store - the DVD player. I know, let's all use TV as a pacifier for our kids, but hey, if it keeps my stress level down for an hour, I'll take it! We are having Cannelloni tonight, with homemade pasta and sauce. My cravings have subsided, so it's difficult to choose a menu for dinner. However, we decided on the following:
Tuesday: Cannelloni with Cesar Salad (maybe bread sticks)
Wednesday: Tacos with homemade shells and salsa
Thursday: Chicken Sandwiches with pasta salad
Friday: Hamburgers with homemade potato chips
Saturday: Breaded pork chops with Cauliflower and Broccoli
Sunday: Chicken Chili with Cornbread
If any of these sound appetizing, feel free to call me and I will set a place for you at the table :o)

Cleatus.....gee, wonder how Rob would have liked having that name. The girls name's I had picked out but was not able to use were Sarah Marie and Rachel Lynn. But I was blessed with Robert Benjamin and Aaron Michael. Wish we could join you for any of those meals, they all sound really good to me. I'm making chop suey tonight, haven't made that in ages. I see you are still able to wear your Strawberry Shortcake jammie bottoms. I better get back to work, you know it's my day off and I end up working harder than if I was at work, what's up with that?
Love you,
Mom
PS I dreamed you were having a boy....Benjamin is a good name.
