The Little Cashew

The baby's in utero name has officially changed. A few weeks ago, when we read in the book that the baby was the size of a cashew, Robert was hooked. Ever since then, it's been all about our little cashew. This is highly ironic since cashews are about the only nut that I don't like! Even more so since the baby was the size of a cashew for less than a week. At the last ultrasound, we determined that the baby was about the size of a lime.

Which leads me to a very sad Cinco De Mayo. Since there was plenty of rain here in DC, Robert didn't have to play softball, which meant we could go out for some Mexican food (if you can call it that). I thought it wouldn't be all that bad without a Margarita, I mean, I could get a virgin Daquiri, right? NOOOOOO. Apparently, in preparation for their busiest night ever, the restaurant had chosen to only offer premixed daquiris. However, a Virgin Pina Colada did save the day! But, it wasn't quite as refreshing as strawberry would have been. Meanwhile, the guys both had beers with limes. Sadly, beer has never smelled or sounded so good, and I don't even LIKE beer that much.

We had another dr. appointment yesterday. I am still tracking at no net weight gain, even with my baby bump and all. I am tracking my weight on our Wii Fit, and instead of having weight LOSS goals, I have put in my monthly weight GAIN goals. The Wii must be so confused. Too bad it doesn't have a "pregnant" setting, then maybe in the future I'd get the cheery sound, rather than the groan that I predict I will start getting eventually.

For everyone curious, we are scheduled to have our OB appointment where we can learn the gender on June 19th - so 7 more weeks! Let's just hope the Cashew cooperates.

My friend Amy is taking us to Babies R Us to do the scary baby registry. I'm sure we will be rapidly overwhelmed with the amount of stuff that goes along with babies, but we are relying on her to tell us what we really need, and what we can do without.

New things I have learned:
  • Vitamin B6 is a great energy boost. It keeps you up at night.
  • The Boppy maternity pillow is the best TRAVEL pillow ever made.
  • I still don't like pecan pie
  • Crab Cakes are still fabulous
  • Eating on a deck overlooking the beach increases the appetite (thanks Kelly and Billy for getting married in South Carolina)
