A question a lot of people asked me at the shower was, “so what have you been craving?” The more I think about it, the more I don’t really have an answer. At the beginning of this pregnancy I was craving cereal, turkey sandwiches, fruit, and airheads. But since then I haven’t had any major cravings. I barely have an appetite these days. I can maybe eat 2 normal meals a day without feeling extremely full and wanting to throw up. If I have a huge lunch, I’ll be full and miserable until I go to bed at night. A “huge lunch” would probably be what I used to call a normal lunch. For instance, for lunch yesterday I had a burrito in a bowl (without the shell) from Moe’s and about 2 handfuls of Tostitos chips with queso. Those made me feel sick-to-my-stomach-can’t-move full. No way I could have eaten dinner last night. Weird I know.
Today was my last day of work!!! I’ve been working at a medical weight loss clinic for the past 1 ½ years. The whole clinic is in the middle of a major transition right now with the staff so I believe it was a PERFECT time to move on. It was a great job and I had the best manager and coworkers in the world. We had some really good times at the office and became really good friends. I’ll definitely miss them, but we will keep in touch! I’ll pop in the office every now and then to say Hi to them and the doc. There were originally 6 of us and only 2 out of the 6 are still employees there. Sad but exciting times for everyone! Now it's time to organize and have a baby!!! The next step is to get back in school and find out what I really want to be when I grow up! haha
These are my "Officially a Housewife" flowers

Things are heating up inside as well: Baby may grow up to a full inch this week alone, and her brain is developing like crazy. Pretty soon, she'll be able to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing. Also, her bones are hardening, and she started to keep her eyes open when she's awake
