Even though this is my third pregnancy, and I feel like it's no big deal, I am so impressed with how different it is! I already feel about 4 months pregnant and probably look it with all the food I have been eating. You know that stereotypical pregnant woman who eats 24/7...yup that's me. Instead of having Mike go to the store at midnight, I ask him to go downstairs and get me a Nutrigrain bar or something. Luckily I haven't been craving any sweets...yup...I have even turned down chocolate ice cream. My parents both know that would never happen:-) It is mostly fruits and salty things. I have downed several Ramen noodles (which actually sound really good right now) and a bag of Baked Doritos. I am really trying to portion or spread out how much I eat because after working so hard to loose Austin's weight I really don't want to gain it all back! Plus, another huge thing (no pun intended) is that my hubs will be returning when I am about 9 months preggo and I don't want to be any fatter than I need to be.

Now don't get me wrong...I am not one of those gals who freaks over every pound. I know that every inch put on is, or can be, a sacrifice for this little blessing inside me. I just don't want to overdo it. Anyways, I was nauseous with the other two boys and am also with this one...all day kind of stuff. I know that eating can help it, but I can't eat all day! HA! Logan is still a riot about the "baby in mommy's belly" and has gently talked to it several times. I even asked him how big mommy was going to get and he didn't make it seem too bad:-) What a goof! I can't wait to see what a big brother and help he will be with this one.

Some fun things I will be getting with this little one:

1-a new maternity sleeping pillow. I have already picked mine out (after the "mini" one has been worn out with the past two pregnancies) It is huge and that is ok since Mike won't be in the bed for the most of it!

2-hopefully a really nice new rocker/glider. I really want one that looks like a regular chair, not a rocking chair, but after seeing the prices...NO WAY! Unless I find a cheap on on craigslist or something

3-we will have to get a few new or hopefully gently used baby gear items. For example a new car seat and swing.

What were some fun items you received with your second or third pregnancy? Where their any wives tales (like craving sweets or salts) that came true for you?
