My belly

This isn't about food - it's about my baby! My friend Nicole gave me that cool countdown calendar and right now it represents the weeks I have left until my due date. Today I felt the baby move for the first time and it hasn't stopped kicking in about 3 hours. I've been wondering if child #2 will be less, um, active and intense than my daughter and based on this morning, I'm guessing not.

I'm supposed to find out next week if it's a boy or a girl so I can stop saying "it." My daughter was modest and sneaky and we couldn't find out for another eleven weeks or so that she was a girl so I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much that this ultrasound will reveal the sex (not the gender - look that one up).

On a food note, I've been craving spicy food, guacamole, and sour citrusy stuff. Remember those mini tabasco bottles in the prize for my giveaway? They're for my purse and frankly, not spicy enough. I also carry decaf tea bags and granola bars these days . . . if anyone snatches my purse, I hope they're hungry!
