Cauliflower????

I just noticed that the little picture on my blog has, what looks like a cauliflower representing the baby this week. I'm sure that they could have some up with something cuter.  I feel like I haven't given an update on the baby in a while.  For the past couple of weeks, not only can I feel him kick but if I lay on my back, I can see my stomach move.  If I lay the remote control on my belly, I can watch it flop around.  This kid really hates when anything is pushing on my belly so its gotten pretty easy to get him going.  I think that is probably the coolest thing so far.  I'm fascinated by it.  I had a doctor's appointment yesterday.  I was really dreading another weigh-in because this time, I have no excuses for gaining too much weight since I have been doing almost all of my cooking.  I know that I cook way healthier than at the mine restaurant but having a kitchen means more frequent meals and the dreaded snacking...oh and Rob's baking.  I asked the doctor if we could skip the weigh in since I know that I feel big and I have resigned myself to having this stupid body that prefers to be big.  I think the doctor finally realized how down I'm getting from his weight lectures and he gave me a really nice pep talk about how its normal to gain weight and after the baby is born, I can get back into shape.  I've heard the talk from many people but it really meant a lot coming from him.  Well, we walked over to that dreaded scale and drum roll please.......2 lbs gained!  I felt great.  I've even barely been working out so it shows me that eating at the restaurant for all of my meals really is terrible.  They must be injecting fat into everything that they cook.  I really needed that and have been feeling so much better about everything.

Lets see, what else?  Today is a holiday here, so Happy Dia de los Americas.  I'm hoping that the pharmacy in town is open because today I took the last of my prenatals.  Next week is Semana Santa and it looks like we will be heading to Utila, the smaller island next to Roatan.  We are really excited for a little vacation even though I know it is going to be a zoo.  Our friend who lives there told us that it is like a full on spring break.  I've never actually done a spring break so it should be interesting.  The only other big thing for me is that I received an invitation for a coffee at one of the lady's house here.  She is someone that I really like.  I'm not sure who else was invited but I'm going to wear a dress and everything.  Thats all for now.
