Can I just wear sweats?

Well, here I am in the middle - not yet in maternity clothes but growing too big for my regular duds. Rubber bands, hair elastics and saftey pins have been quick-fixes to make my current wardrobe last a while longer. Still not quite noticable to strangers I sure FEEL like I'm twice the size already and my waist has definietly left the building. My sudden cravings for lemon sorbet and Rolo's are contributing but our little bean is growing fast - the book says he or she is the size of an apple this week! (...mmm, an apple sounds good right now....) Mark has been so good in acommodating my cravings for crunchy vegatables or creamy fruit smoothies and luckily, with his triathlon training we are both eating well. (um...except for the batch of chocolate cookies I just made) As a matter of fact, I think it's time to grab a quick evening snack after all this talk about food. Welcome back appetite! ... -KK

wush, wush, wush, wush, wush...........

Yeah, yeah so, I can't type the sound it made, but that's as close as I can get. Katy and I went to our June appointment last Wednesday and we got to hear the heart beat. We have decided to call it Bean, but I'm sure that will change very soon. It was so amazing to hear that repetitive wush sound as Bean's heart thumped away. It was going a thousand miles per hour. It puts such a smile on my face as Dr. O waved her magic wand across Katy slowly yet eerily rapidly expanding belly. Dr. O is Dr. Brenda Onia and we really like her. She's exactly the kind of doctor Katy and I wanted. - MK
