Seriously, I'm not sure why I pick the worst possible time to take a pregnancy photo... this was taken after a five hour road trip, no makeup, and certainly I didn't just get done scrubbing my house down...alas, next photo MUST be a little more glam... I deserve at least one glam pregnancy photo, right? Maybe even wash my hair a day or two before?

Scarlett and I at 22 weeks:

Pregnancy cravings:
-Subway wheat turkey and provolone 6-inch with all the fixings including masses of olives, pickles, mustard and vinegar. Hold the mayo.
-Coffee...after Kennedy Meadows and Miss Delicious' afternoon lattes... my body has not regained it's caffeine-free pureness. Shame on me.

Similarities:
--Weight gain (6 lbs-same as both boys at this point, although it's crazy the difference in my body shape. I was digging the non-hip widening that I experienced with the boys. I never changed out of my pre-pregnancy jeans and was able to wear them with both pregnancies till the end... this one, not so much. In fact, I can't even fit them above my hips... have I mentioned my hips are hurting, c-o-n-s-t-a-n-t-l-y?).

Differences:
-The above mentioned hip scenario... My back also feels fatter and wider, he he. I am looking at this hip-widening-thing as a positive sign as I'm thinking my pelvis may open up more for this baby. Maybe this is why I had two subsequent breech babies? I do have a chance to have a VBAC with this round (can you believe it, it's almost unheard of), and I will be doing everything within my power to get it (that with a lot of prayer)... I have dreamt of a natural home birth for as long as one starts thinking of births (ha!)... I won't get the home part as risk factor is too high, but I am praying for a natural delivery...join me on that, please, I will take all I can get!

Oh, and I haven't puked in two weeks! Whahoo! I'm also experiencing much more energy and the intense desire to nest (although I'm somewhat stuck for a few weeks until we figure out our game plan).
