Crap, I'm Pregnant

{photo caption - "Crap, I'm pregnant!"}

This is how you'll find me most nights nowadays.  I am pregnant guys.  And my body is reminding me of it every single second of every day.  I'm in my 14th week and I kept looking for the magical 2nd trimester turnaround to hit as it did with both previous pregnancies, but so fare no dice.  I'm not throwing up or anything, I just feel completely rundown and achy all over.  A lot of flu-like symptoms.  I worked full time and had a full travel schedule with both Taylor and Syd, yet with this one I can't manage to get off the couch.  And now after flying four flights (yes, I did actually fly four times), my feet have swelled up, as they did every time I flew with Taylor, so I'm convinced I'm having a girl.   

I remember going to an event at one of our boutiques when 7 months pregnant with Taylor and a sales associate said to me "Oh honey, you must be having a girl.  Girls take all the beauty away from their mommas and take it for themselves."  To her credit, I was swelled up like a balloon; feet, hands and face, and had a bade case of pregnancy acne.  I will never forget it.  What was the craziest thing someone ever told you when you were pregnant, especially when predicting the gender you were carrying?

In related news, I have been craving navel oranges something fierce, eating 3-4 a day, and Jack N the Box tacos.  I'm not too proud to admit that I've even driven thru to pick some up as early as 10:30 am.  I'm trying to supplement with as much healthy stuff as possible, but this baby has just got me craving grease and more grease.  I ate about 40 tater tots last night.  Poor thing is going to come out looking like a little grease ball.  What were some of your cravings during pregnancy?  That stuff always fascinates me!
