Cap'n Crunch and Other Things

I am 16 weeks already!

Time seems to be going much faster now that I'm not sick all the time. 

I feel like I have pretty much recovered my appetite and I have started cooking real meals again!  And I am very proud to say that I made it back to my pre-pregnancy weight!  I lost about 7 pounds while being sick and it has taken me a long time to get it back but I am finally there.  

I have been craving Cap'n Crunch every single day.  I bought a small box a couple of weeks ago and it lasted for quite a while, until John took it out one day and poured himself a HUGE bowl, and then there was no more for me.  After about three days of not having any, I became so desperate that I rode the subway all the way to Target in the Bronx and bought two BIG boxes.  One Cap'n Crunch, and one Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries, because I couldn't decide which one I wanted more.  And because I'm pregnant.  

John likes to talk to my tummy and tell the baby about his day.  It is so precious... I wish you could see it.  :)

So anyway, here are our first ultrasound pics!  They are from February 3, when I was 12 weeks.



Sadly, John was unable to make it that day (my ultrasound appointments are separate from the regular visits) but I had a good time anyway watching the little baby jumping and moving around inside of me!  I can't believe it moves so much and I can't even feel anything down there yet!

And here are some pictures of my profile:

11 weeks

15 1/2 weeks

I made sure to wear as tight a shirt as possible to show off as much bump as possible.  (...and I may have waited until after eating a big dinner too...)  So I look kind of big, right?

Whoa! Look at you!!! You look GREAT!

I'm so excited to see that baby in real life someday (which will hopefully be this summer)!

Wow! What a bump! We didn't even notice when we went to the temple together! That was so much fun. Thanks for coming with us! We'll have to do it again, and I vote afterwards we come over for Cap'n Crunch for lunch! Love Josh and Mattie
