8 weeks- sour candy is the winner today!

Wow- it's been a while since I've written you. I've been busy at work and by the time I get home, I'm completely exhausted!!! Daddy and I have been busy the last 2 weekends so I finally got a breather today to write.

I'm normally not the type of person that can fall asleep sitting in a chair but lately, that isn't the case. We were so busy this past Saturday that I had about an hour break between events and I actually feel asleep sitting in the chair. Daddy had to wake me up to tell me to leave to the next function- I was meeting "the Mamas" for pedicures. You'll get to know them very well. Cindy has Cole who is 2 months older than Ava, Reese will be born this week; Christina has Markus who is a month older than Ava, Landis or Braxton will be born 6 weeks before you; Paige has Blair who is 3 months younger than Ava, and Brooke was born just 4 months ago; Mindy has Madeline who is 4 months younger than Ava, and Megan was just born a month ago. We all have a great time together and it is wonderful that all our kids are close in age.

I've been wishy/washy with food lately. One moment, I'm starving and want to eat every few hours and the next minute, I'm stuffed from a small meal and don't want to eat the rest of the week (I do eat but only because I have to). This weekend, I was craving some chocolate chip muffins and sausage balls- so I made both. I finished off the sausage balls for breakfast with some coffee, had a pizza pocket for lunch followed by 3 mini popcicles and some Shockers candy. I can't eat enough of these Shockers! I did put some pickle chips on my hotdog this weekend so maybe I'm craving sour a little more than when I was pregnant with Ava. I'm really hoping this pregnancy will be similar to the last- I only gained 4 pounds with Ava. I had THE BEST pregnancy and I really want that with you too!!!

We'll get to see you on Monday, April 27th. We're going to have some testing done so they'll be doing a sonogram that day! I'm very excited!!! You'll actually look like a real baby and hopefully we'll get a picture to show off!

I'm about to go get another package of Shockers to snack on while I'm working. You keep growing good in Mommy's belly! I love you, baby!
