This is almost the final week of the first trimester. I'm still not able to eat as much, but at least the nausea has not been so bad. I found out after a bowl of ice cream that I can not have any dairy during this pregnancy. Strange very strange! All the other pregnancies I ate a pint a day!!
This little baby does not like dairy of any kind! So, I'm indulging with soy ice cream! It's not as rich, but hits the spot! Speaking of ice cream, we went to a new ice cream shop for Jimmy's birthday last week. It's a place called ICream. You custom blend your flavors and they make it to order using a mixing bowl and liquid nitrogen! It was great fun for all of us because they also offered soy milk.
For Jimmy's birthday, we had a relaxing day of dining out and chilling at the house in between meals. We had fish and chips for lunch at an Irish Pub, ice cream at ICream and then had dinner at Rick Bayless's Frontera Grill. They have the best duck dishes there so it's our favorite place for fantastic Mexican food.
Kai is so excited about his upcoming fourth birthday and keeps asking everyday how many more days. It's cute. We haven't decided what we want to do yet but it's between the children's museum or the Lego discovery center.
Cassia is starting her terrible twos and she's only 19 months old!! I'm in for a ride with her. My sisters and mom tell me that she's just like me when I was little. That's karma for you.

Feeling a bit better...
Tomorrow will be ten weeks into what I call 'the last one'. The past two weeks have been miserable. The worst morning sickness I've ever experienced! I now must apologize to my best friend for constantly telling her that she needs to have another one. Why you ask? Well, she had a whole pregnancy of being sick and I just couldn't even handle two weeks!! I now understand why she wouldn't want to go through it again.
Peppermint has been my life saver this time around. I have peppermint tums, peppermint toothpaste, peppermint candies, and peppermint tea. I just can't stomach ginger any more, not since my first pregnancy.
I have good days and bad and this happens to be a good day that's why I'm able to give an update. Kai has been such a wonderful helper in my time of sickness. He helps me to take care of Cassia by keeping her occupied to let me rest. He is the best little boy a mom could wish for. Jimmy has also been great with doing housework and caring for the kids. On his days off, I don't have to worry about anything and I don't I'm usually curled up in bed wishing it was already 40 weeks.
I was telling Jimmy that I think it is probably a boy because I don't have any cravings for junk food. I want to want a dough nut, but the thought of one even makes me sick! I just want fruit! I've been trying all types of citrus, apples and bananas but none of them are satisfying. I have to try mango, pineapple and other orange/yellow fruits.
When I was pregnant with Cassia, Jimmy and Kai had to go on many Krispy Kreme runs for me. I also ate a pint of ice cream a day!! I didn't eat very healthy with her, I gave in to my every craving. That's probably why I gained 30 pounds with her.
When I was pregnant with Kai, I ate carrots and mangoes like they were going out of style! I had cereal everyday like I do now. I snacked on apples and peanut butter. The only junk craving was bar-b-que potato chips.
I will just have to wait and see.
