Weird pregnancy things

• I always laughed a women with cravings related to pregnancy. Thought it was in the head, but I have been craving things! Weird thing is, I became nearly vegan a few months ago, and that is out the window for now. I started craving meat and dairy bad. The cravings are passing though, maybe I just needed some iron, or some protein, B12, whatever. I don't think I will give up the meat and dairy to the extent I had while I am prego just to be sure to get the nutrients.

• I've heard it said, "If you find yourself with an appetite like a teenage boy, it is likely you will have a boy." If that is the case, I am having another! I've been so hungry and food never tasted so good, probably because I am eating meat and dairy again. Ha ha. Luckily I haven't put on a bunch of weight. Maybe more than I need to for being 10 weeks though:  2 lbs. They say up to 5 in the first trimester, so I am actually fine. I'd rather have an appetite than morning sickness. My goal is to not gain more than 25 lbs. Gained that with Dallin and struggled with the last 5 or so.

• Pretty sure I am not having twins, but I've never felt anxious about it like I do this time. With my other pregnancies I got an ultra sound at 9 weeks to see how many are in there and stuff. Not here. No ultrasound until 20 weeks. I am probably anxious because now we are thinking we will just get a narrower car seat for Dallin and squeeze all 3 in the car. If we had twins, a new car would be a must.

• I am exhausted like I've never been before. 2 hour naps everyday. We have stairs in our place and I get to the bottom, look up, sigh, and start the hike. Sometimes half way up (only about 7 steps) I have to stop for a rest. When I get to the top sometimes I am dizzy and want to sit there for a few minutes to recover. So weird. I am in good shape. I still go to my spinning and barbell class a few times a week, but I take the intensity way down, to get through it. This is the most frustrating part of pregnancy for me. Makes me a grouch.

Any opinions?

We will officially need a new car as of late October 2010 to accommodate our growing family. Yes! This is an announcement that we are pregnant! We won't be able to fit three car seats in our Subaru Outback, so we will need to upgrade. Our Outback has been so good to us and will be hard to replace. We are looking at a few cars and wonder if anyone has an opinion on these or other 6+ passenger cars. We don't want an American made car, so don't even suggest it. :) Our only other requirements are All Wheel Drive and not ridiculously expensive. We'll go with a used one that is a couple years old probably.

Drew

My nephew was born on March 19th. His name is Drew Ryan Tanner. 8 lbs. and 20 inches long. We went to Rexburg for the weekend to help out. Of course I had to take pictures.

Baseball prep

Tanner and Dallin practiced hitting a racquetball with racquets. Tanner should be ready to use a bat in no time. He was hitting the ball really well. I can't wait until the boys are on teams. I think it will be so fun to cheer for them at games.

Drawing

Tanner has been showing an interest in drawing recently. He tries really hard to color inside the lines in coloring books.

He gave his drawings names. I am not sure why Calin (his baby cousin) is the one with the eye brows. Or why "Sister" is on there. I've asked him if he wants a sister and he said "No!" I'm not surprised the Campbell family is on there. He loves them.

See what I mean?

about the bum coverage of underwear when it is on wrong? And it doesn't even make sense that he wants them on backwards with this pair because the picture is the same on the front and back. Who knows?

He makes me laugh

Tanner likes to wear his underwear backwards so he can see the pictures on them. As you probably know, the fronts are a little smaller than the backs, so not as good of coverage.
