Week 17

Well guys. Allergies have pretty much pinned me down and beat me up. I mostly feel like I sleep in a dryer on the tumble cycle. So besides sneezing my guts out and depleting the world of kleenex, this week has been pretty good. :)

-Cravings this week: Apple Jacks and the peanut buttery Captain Crunch cereals. Sadly, I haven't indulged in those cravings yet. But man, they sound so good! (And a turkey sandwich. Random?)

-Aversions: I can't really think of anything... but big news, I totally ate a granola bar out of desperation this week and guess what? I didn't die. :p It was a sunbelt chocolate covered almond-y one so really it was more of a dessert than a granola bar. Maybe that's the trick. ;)

-Best part of this week: I think I maybe felt a teeny little flutter the other day! I'm not even really sure, but I've decided 'Gunther' is going to turn into a karate master any day and let me feel him/her moving so I'll just pretend that's what it was. :) 

*Also, my friend who is also my 'adopted sister' and Disney in the weeds partner, Alex came down on Tuesday and took me on a play date. :) We went to dinner and caught up on life and then we went to Peter and the Star Catcher that the Shakespearean Festival put on this year. It was SO great! I'm seriously ready to go and watch it again today! I thought it was so cute and well done, and hilarious! It allowed for lots of imagination as most of the props were a rope, and the characters were so funny. Especially "Black Stache" (AKA Captain Hook). He was a very feminine version of Captain Hook, but it was HILARIOUS! I wish I could remember all the lines so I could just re-enact it for you all. Go see it! It's so worth your time and money. That was a pretty big highlight of my week too. :) I'm sure Gunth loved it too. :p

-Worst part of this week: All the abdominal pain from stretching! It's no fun to sneeze when you're already feeling the stretching. (Oh, it hurts!) And I've had a couple of times when I just felt like I was going to puke and pass out, and it'll come out of nowhere! Like the hot flash but cold sweats and flushed and ears ringing and nauseous feeling you get right before you do pass out? Yeah. Like that. Not exactly fun. 

Well. 6 days!! I can't even wait! :) I'm sure I won't be able to sleep Wednesday night because I'll be to excited to find out what this kid is. I'm hoping that baby Coffin cooperates so that we can see to tell if he's a he or if she's a she. :)

Also, Megan my awesome photographer sister took my 17 week bump pictures for me so I'll have to post those as soon as I steal them from her. ;) It was kinda fun. :)

*Here's the photoshoot pictures. Obviously my sisters and I have way too much fun together. ;)
