4 months -- almost!

This week is a big week at the Orange House!  We have an appointment with the perinatal associates Tuesday morning for our "big" ultrasound and then visit Dr. Nokleberg for our 18-week check up.  And on Wednesday, we reach our official four-month marker.

I've only gained about 6 pounds (I'll have an official number on Tuesday) but I've outgrown all of my pre-pregnancy clothes.  Robin has been a trooper and endured several trips to maternity stores - he's a great shopper!

The pregnancy is going great! Our tee-tiny has become increasingly active over the past couple of weeks.  Robin hasn't been able to feel the movement yet, but I've been feeling it twitch and roll around for about two weeks.  I am eager for the movements to become stronger so Robin can experience them, as well.  It is especially active after I eat fruit (my greatest craving).  With the amount of fruit I'm eating, I have decided this kid is going to be a fairly healthy eater, or refuse anything but fruit (and maybe buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, yogurt, salsa and hot sauce -- my main cravings and indulgences.)  Hopefully for Robin's sake, the child will gain an appreciation for meat -- he loves to grill and I know he would like to have another meat eater in the house.  Maybe the early appreciation can happen via a more distant osmosis -- it certainly isn't going to come from me!
