Baby's First Jazz Fest

Yesterday we went to Jazz Fest, and because the music was so incredibly loud, we are sure the baby heard it. S/he even kicked a few times throughout the day. We saw several artists, the main being Stevie Wonder, which was pretty amazing. Another favorite was D.L. Menard, who sings French Cajun music. It was a wonderful day with great music and yummy food!

My belly is just now starting to show through my clothes. If I see someone I haven't seen in a while, I have to tell them I am pregnant. But my friends are all saying, "You really look pregnant now!" I have a shower coming up next weekend with my friends here in New Orleans. It will be fun.

The baby kicks all the time now; s/he is really active! It is so great - such a neat feeling. We will have another check up this Tuesday, and next week will be the big ultrasound. We are very excited.

My appetite has really increased and I have had some crazy cravings the past couple of weeks. The biggest was a tuna fish sandwich. I was in class on Tuesday night, and someone must have been eating one because I smelled it. After that I couldn't get my mind off of that sandwich. I wanted one for dinner but class let out too late to get it. I settled for a peanut butter sandwich instead, but then in the morning the tuna fish was in my head again. So Travis made a trip to Whole Foods and picked me one up for lunch. Interesting craving, tuna fish, because it's not even something I can eat often! I have to limit my intake of fish because of the mercury, so once a week max, and I try to eat it less often than that. It was a DELICIOUS sandwich. Another craving has been spaghetti, but after three times in two weeks, I may be over it. I also like salad a lot now, just plain green salad with carrots, celery, and tomato, using balsamic vinegarette dressing. YUM!

That's it for now.
