OK, so I was watching a show and an actress came on and cooked a dish from her home country of Mexico. And guess what she made....A Cricket and Guacamole Burrito!! I Know! Gross hunh? I don't know if I really thought the whole burrito sounded good, or I was just craving Guacamole... not sure.... and I'm not sure if I would eat it if I was offered it now... but the other day I would have eaten the whole thing in a heartbeat!!!

So, we leave for Thailand on Saturday.... and well, I can get all the crickets I want... I may have to eat some...

A Couple More Belly Pics :)

So, on Tuesday night, my friend Emily and I decided to take some belly pics together. Emily and I are about a week and a half apart - which is pretty crazy considering our birthdays are only a day apart... She thinks that she's having a girl and I'm having a boy (b/c she's carrying high and I'm carrying low...) hmmm... who knows :) So here's our pic from Tuesday night...

So then yesterday (Wednesday) I was thinking my clothes felt a little tighter than usual... so we decided to take another pic... I guess I grew a little....

So you want to know what the craving was?.... you have to wait until tomorrow ;)

BUT I can't get those here... so I've been out of luck... (I go to Thailand on Sat and they have pretzels and I'm really excited!!!)... I did have one REALLY strange craving yesterday... what do you think it was?

My appetite was back today :) So after the appointment we celebrated and went to my favorite restrauant here "THE BIG CHILL"... it's great!! and has some awesome western food :)
Yum! Today was a very good day :)

Baby Names :)

So we've been looking at baby names both in Hindi and in English... we've definitely come across some interesting ones :) Here are some of the front-runners in the Hindi name category :)

Matsyagandhaa – One who smells like fish
Mukesha – Lord of the dumb
Pulinabinaaree – One who amuses himself on shore
Swadhruta – one who holds himself
Vaikhauna – One who digs in a general manner

haha just kidding :)

We've decided to keep the baby's name secret until he or she is born... but if you guys have any ideas of fun names leave it in the comment section :)

You guys ROCK!

Strollers & Fun :)

Remember that awesome group of folks from Colorado that were here with us about a month ago? Well, before they left, they totally blessed us and bought us a stroller and a baby carrier!! They were a really cool, awesome and thoughtful group!! We really enjoyed getting to know them :) They ROCK!
We thought we'd show you guys a pic :)
This picture looks so funny to me... I think I look funny pushing a stroller :) haha! I look so grown up or something :) haha! :)
Oh yeah, and today I'm 10 weeks along!! Only a few more weeks until I'm in the 2nd Trimester!!! (thank goodness!!)

Happy Mother's Day!!

Adam made this awesome card for me today for Mother's Day :) He's very good at Construction Paper Art :) Now, the original looks a little different than this scanned copy (and our skin looks much lighter!! :)) but you can see his awesome talents with construction paper :) Good job Adam!! :)
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY :)

Jellybean's First Pic :)

So this blog will be more about baby and family pics and stuff :) So I thought I'd start it off with baby Jellybean's first picture :)
Yeah, there are a lot of pictures... so I'll give you a close-up of one of them :)
Now here's a video from the ultrasound... it shows Jellybean's heartbeat... it's really cute... It's a short clip. At the end of the clip, the doctor is getting the heartbeat. When I heard the heartbeat, I thought it was funny (maybe because it was so fast... I don't know) but I started cracking up! What's funny is (as you can see in the video below)... when I started laughing, it made a really loud and funny noise on the ultrasound machine... the technician had to take it off until I calmed down :) haha check it out! :)
