I'd like the roast duck with the mango salsa...

So Brian reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from the Geico commercials, and it was perfect for this week's post!!! So this week I haven't had many changes that I have noticed other than my allergies being OUT OF CONTROL!!!!!! If any of you have been suffering with sinus/allergy symptoms as of late, then stop and think for a second what it would be like if there wasn't anything that you could take to give you any kind of relief. I can only take Mucinex, which does nothing for me, and Flonase, which really doesn't help either. So I just suffer with my allergies day in and day out with these miserable allergies! You have NO idea how ready I am for a really good frost to hit Lexington, so that hopefully it will kill everything that I am allergic to! I feel sorry for the little one because I'm sure I shake it to death everytime I sneeze, and trust me, that's quite often! But enough about that.

I still haven't felt any kind of flutters or anything. So many people have told me that it feels like different things (flutters, muscle spasms, gas, etc) and I'm always wondering how you would know the difference between the baby moving and something else....so to my knowledge, I haven't felt anything yet, but I am very anxious to! I still think its weird that I can't feel him/her in there, so I'm ready to be able to do that!

Only 2 more weeks until the big reveal about what we are having!! I hope you all are getting as excited as we are!!!!!!

Here's what's happening this week: Vernix caseosa, a greasy white substance made of lanugo, oil and dead skin cells (yum) now coats baby's skin, shielding it from the amniotic fluid. (Picture yourself after a nine-month bath, and the need for protection makes sense.) You might actually get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature.
