It's A Girl!

3 Lunches!!!

Pregnancy update this week: our baby is now about 3 1/2 inches big and I think she is working on eyebrows and eyelashes this week and finally has a neck. They say I can start feeling it move around any time between now and the next 4 weeks. I am hoping its sooner rather than later. I think that will be the exciting part. Another 3 1/2 to 4 weeks and we will be able to tell if its a girl or boy.
So I think this was on Wednesday but I had a pregnancy attack. That is when my extra hormones take over and do things out of my ordinary normal self. I was walking in to the classroom after recess and all of a sudden a caught a smell of pizza in the oven. It smelled SOOOOOOOOOOOOOo good it was all I could do to not go steal a piece before lunch. It was pretty much all I could think about for the next hour until lunch time. Finally it was lunch and I went outside and asked if there were any extras because I NEEDED a piece of pizza desperatley. About two minutes after I finished my pizza I was ready for round 2. LUckily Em brought lunch that day and I ate a complete serving of beef stroganoff. Along with the stroganoff I ate some fruit. I was still hungry but decided to not over do it. Two hours later I was ready for lunch number 3. I was sitting in the teachers lounge thinking "man, I really NEED some fries and chicken nuggets." Hey, why not. So I drove to McDonalds and ordered fries chicken nuggets and a smoothie (which was supposed to be for Em but I drank most of it before giving it to her). 3 Lunches in one day- not sure what my problem was but I was just so stinkin hungry.

Trimester 2

So I am now 13 weeks and in my second trimester. I don't know how it happened but its like a got fat overnight. Yesterday my pants were a little tight and today I have this pooch. Well, I have always had a pooch, I mean, I am an Armstrong and we do really well with big tummies. But all of a sudden I can't hold it in anymore- it just sticks out. I knew this was going to happen and that its kind of the way pregnancy works, but I am not ready to be fat and have all my clothes not fit.


I had a major pregnancy day yesterday. I don't know what got in to me, but I was complaining up the wazoo. And to top it off, I started having this huge craving for a ham sandwich. I was laying on the love sack saying to Curtis "I really need a ham sandwich". Then it became "Its hot in here, I am tired, Are you ready to go yet? I REALLY NEED A HAM SANDWICH!!!!!" Yeah, it was a little much, incredibly dramatic and over the top. It wasn't my fault though, its the fault of this baby growing inside me.



We went and saw the third Twilight last night. I think it was a moderate form of torture for Curtis. It was just a little to slow for his liking....or rather a LOT too slow. I thought it was ok.



I went to church by myself for the 4th week on a row. I don't like that my hubby has to work so many Sundays. I came home and took a two hour nap. I am so not ready for the summer to be over. Today is it...its history....kiss it goodbye...! My students don't start for a week, but I have meetings all this week including meet the parents on Tuesday. I don't think I am going to be able to hide the fact that I am pregnant. Then again, maybe they will just think I am getting fat :-)
