Checkup Time

I had my 14 week checkup on Wednesday and everything was great. Doodles Baby had a heart rate of 153.. very excellent. And I hadn't gained too much weight, thank goodness. Don't get me wrong, I want to gain enough to have a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy.. but we don't need to be going all willy nilly with the weight gain. Only 4 more weeks till I (hopefully) get to find out if Baby Antebellum is a boy or girl. I am soo excited to get to call this little munchkin by a name. It is so crazy to think that this little tiny being is growing inside of me. I think I quite enjoy being an incubator. :) I have posted my 14 week photo. It looks like I am growing quite a bit. Yesterday morning I woke up and BAM.. my belly was even bigger, just from the night before. I am hopeful that I can keep those pesky stretch marks away.. but also realistic and know how high the potential is that they will creep up on me. I talked to Dr.Adams about the voiding issue and he said that it can be quite normal due to how big my uterus is and how it is taking up a lot of my pelvic space.. including my bladders area. He also said it should subside within a couple more weeks or so. Soon the uterus will come out of my pelvic space and impede on other organs.. I can't wait! (Seriously.. I think it will be fun times all around. This could be amazing!)

Other news.. Joey and I had our 2nd Wedding anniversary on Tuesday the 12Th. We went to Fogo De Chaos on the plaza. It was soo much fun. It is a Brazilian steak house and they serve tons of different kinds of meat. They have a salad bar that you can go to as many times as you desire (that is quite delish). And then when you are ready for "the meat" you turn over this card on your table to green. Green means the Gauchos (the guys with the meat) will come out and offer you tons of different types of meat.. like steak, chicken wrapped in bacon, lamb, ribs.. ect. Then when your plate is full or you think you have enough, you turn your card back to red. Red means you don't want any more meat (till later.. ;) They give you cheesy bread, garlic potatoes, polenta and caramelized bananas as sides- these are endless. You also don't just have waiter or waitress, there are several and they all help all the tables. Whenever you go to get up they will help pull your chair out and when you are ready to sit down, they will push your chair in. I felt like pretty woman. I didn't know the appropriate etiquette for such a fancy restaurant. When I got ribs I said to Joey "How am I suppose to eat this". I didn't know if it would be appropriate to pick up with my fingers. haha. Joey just said to pick it up. The bartender was very nice also. He made me a fresh limeade (made with fresh limes and condensed milk). I was worried it was going to be like $12, and he kept just bringing me out new ones without even asking. I thought "holy crap, this is gonna be expensive". So when the waitress offered to get me a fresh limeade I told her I didn't want anymore because they were so sweet. Turns out that it was only $4.25 and it was free refills. haha. I wasn't sure. Lastly I asked the waitress to take Joey and I's photo because it was our anniversary and she said "Oh.. its your anniversary" and then told someone to do something. Then she brings out this amazing chocolate turtle cheesecake mousse dessert. AMAZING! We were soo stuffed. She offered to put most of it in a to go box (thank goodness!). The restaurant was tons of fun! Then we went home and watched a movie. It was a very great anniversary!
