Boy or Girl

I had a dream that Reid and I were sitting at a kitchen table and there was a little girl sitting on the table with dark brown hair.  The next day I took a pregnancy test and found out we were expecting.  A month or so later I had a dream that I was talking to my sister-in-law Elizabeth and she told me that she is so excited that I am having a girl and she hopes that she is having one too.  I told her about the dream, but she confirmed that she is not expecting :)

Three months into my pregnancy I dreamt that Reid and I were at the doctor's office and I was having an ultrasound.  They announced to us that we were definetly having a girl.  And a week ago I had another ultrasound dream that resulted in a girl baby. 

Baby wants

For the first three months of my pregnancy I could barely eat water. Nothing sounded good and watching TV turned into torture when any type of food commercial would come on. I lost weight and was concerned that I would never have a good relationship with food again.

My husband read that I should be eating protein so he would constantly ask me how much protein I had eaten that day and of course my response was, "Well, how much protein is in water, saltine crackers, and pizza hut breadsticks?". Oh yeah, I should mention that I craved pizza hut breadsticks of all things, very strange.

So now I am in my fourth month :) and the baby has been very hungry for all of the horrible guilty pleasure foods. Now, I really do not like eating fast food, but I think that the slippery slope of fast food joints is that once you start that habit it can be very addicting. So the first thing I craved was bacon, egg, and cheese buiscuits from McDonalds and then it was McDonalds cheeseburgers. I understand that I don't have to listen to my cravings, but when you have not been able to eat for several months you are really willing to listen to your body as long as it is hungry for something.
