Midwifery and tiny human update

I had my first appointment with the midwife at U of L today. I'm really happy I decided to switch. She's very nice and spent a lot of time to get to know me and let me ask questions and ask me questions. I felt like it was the first thorough baby appointment I've had since I found out I was pregnant. She also used the Doppler to listen to the heart beat.

And we scheduled the anatomy ultrasound! Only 5 weeks!!!!! I seriously want to know yesterday if I'm having a boy or girl. I'm really not good with waiting. Or surprises. My mom said I've never been the girl that reads the last chapter of a book for wanting to find out what will happen. But with a book I can stay up all night reading until I've reached the end. I can't speed up my pregnancy.

Baby is still low on my pelvis and on the left. If baby is still so tiny and still so low than why is my belly growing so much?? Not that I mind. I like the way I look pregnant. And it's not fat either. I've gained some weight but I'm pretty much right on target with the 1 pound per week schedule for weight gain. And that's with eating like a horse all day every day.

My cravings are all for salty things. Potato chips. Slim Jims. Beef jerky. Quesidillas. Chicken wings. Pizza. Oh the cravings for pizza are strong. 9 days until I get the best pizza in the world again. I live for that on a normal day. But now that I'm craving it....... yikes!!!!

I was dead sure I was having a girl but now I'm not so sure. But I'll know in 5 weeks!
