first "baby" post!

I liked doing these before when I was pregnant with Hank.  I never did them regularly but thought it was fun every month or so.  
How far along: 15 weeks or a little more... not quite sure yet!
Total weight gain:  None yet! Thankfully.  I kinda went gung ho with the last pregnancy and ate everything in sight and gained 40 pds.  *10 lbs in the last two weeks due to water!!! I am going to try to be a little more wise this time around.  I dont have to worry about staying active.  Henry helps me with that!
Best moments this month: hearing the baby's heartbeat.  Its so fun.  A friend gave me an at home thingy where I can hear the baby on my own.  Its nice because I can schedule my appointments while JOrdan is at work because he can hear the baby whenever he wants!  Its also so sweet thinking about Henry as a big brother.  Its sad to me that my baby will be a brother but so exciting too... I was talking to him about Jesus today and every time I said Jesus he would say baby.  Then I asked him if Jesus is a baby and he said yeah.  He cracks me up.  
Food cravings: Snicker bars.  They are so so so so good.  I have eaten three already this pregnancy.  I get it when I check out at the grocery! NOM NOM.  Although I always love snickers... I think I just feel like I can eat them more often now! 
Gender: A lot of people say they think this one is a girl but I think its a boy.  Although last time I thought I was having a girl and it was a boy... who knows! I dont even think the baby's parts have developed yet so maybe God hasnt decided!
What I miss: This is so sad but I miss alcohol so much!! I love a cold beer with mexican food or when I grill out.  I also miss the Patron vodka my neighbor puts in margaritas.  So yummy! 
What I am looking forward to: I dont know.  I love my life right now.  Summer is so fun, Henry is such a joy and I am learning and experiencing a lot.  I love this season and I am not looking forward much!
Milestones: I guess hearing the baby's heartbeat and telling everyone.  Although I waited so long I think I was showing a bit before I told people!! It probably was obvious.  I always think I can feel the baby kick but I thought I could feel a baby kick even when I wasnt pregnant.  Has anyone else ever had that?? So bizarre! 

I dont have any photos of me posing with my bump yet.. I am not too into that anyways.  Plus it just looks now like I have had one two many snickers.. which is true... 

Lastly I leave you with a photo that is so funny every time I see it I roll.  I look like cookie monster.. COOKIEEEE!!
This was days before Henry was born!
