Awww, it's a little sweet potato! How cute. The little peanut is growing quickly! I am super in tune to trying to see if I can feel him/her moving around. I kind of think I have, but it's not consistent yet, so I'm not sure if it's a not-so-cute gas bubble. I should find out any day!
We have another ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday afternoon and I'm really looking forward to it. I have reached another point where I am having trouble believing that there's really a baby in there! My day to day changes have slowed down and my troublesome side effects have also, which is a very good thing. I just think feeling the baby move on a regular basis will be a constant reminder that he/she really is in there.
And the great book says:
At 5 1/2 inches long and about 5 ounces in weight (as much as that chicken breast you're having for dinner, but a lot cuter), your baby is filling out nicely and getting large enough that you might even be feeling those twists, rolls, kicks, and punches he or she is perfecting. Another set of skills your baby is mastering now is yawning and hiccuping (you might even begin to feel those hiccups soon!). And your one-of-a-kind baby is truly one of a kind now, complete with unique fingerprints on his or her fingertips and toes.

- What to Expect When You're Expecting, 4th Edition
I am still having trouble eating chicken. Although, the other night, I made teriyaki chicken and was able to keep it down. And my sweet Huzz cut it up raw for me. I kind of have to forget that I'm eating and distract myself with the t.v. or something so I don't think about it.
It is getting more difficult for me to sleep. I am a stomach and side sleeper - mostly stomach. I keep waking up halfway between being on my stomach and my side...like, 3/4 of the way on my stomach. It doesn't hurt or anything, but I don't want to do any damage.
I ordered a pregnancy body pillow that should be waiting at my parents' house when we get there and I am really looking forward to trying that out!
I also ordered a shirt from Gap Maternity to wear in our family reunion picture in July. Also hoping that gets to Mom and Dad's before we leave for the Lake. I have been really frustrated with shopping for clothes online, as the stuff that they seem to have in stock is incredibly limited. It also seems like stores like the Gap and Old Navy don't carry very much in their stores, so their online store will say "available only online" and then they only have it available in an XS or an XXL, which I am neither. I am planning on going shopping for some clothes for the summer right when we get back because I have like, 3 things that fit me now, and I'm hoping I am able to find some things.
Anyway, we are off to meet with Huzz's old co-workers for dinner tonight! Enjoy your Thursday! It's a good one. Ha!

Beth, you look absolutely fabulous! You've got glow and all. I give you mad props for being preggers in a different country. That is neat to read that you will be back in the States soon. All the best as you move and prepare for your sweet potato/peanut. Neat!
