Watch Sesame Grow: 16 weeks

Edition: We've survived 4 months and only have 57 more to go

Size of baby: The length of an avocado, but about the weight of 3 1/2 cds. My weekly thebump.com email didn't say the fact about the cd's, but google did so I'm sure it's medically sound.

Fun fact: It's heart pumps 25 quarts of blood a day

Size of mother: A tiny bit bigger than most non-maternity pants but definitely smaller than the maternity pants. To avoid a situation wherein the maternity pants fall down in public, I wear regular pants. You're welcome, world.

What's on the menu: 

Dear people who said I would crave ice cream, 

We went to Publix on Friday night and one of us wanted to buy ice cream and the other one said "go ahead, but I don't want any". Guess which person I was.

Sincerely,

The person who feels like she's being cheated out of many wonderful food opportunities 

Best part of the week: Wednesday! I LOVED WEDNESDAY!! I felt better than I have felt in months. No nausea! No headaches! No problems! I felt like conquering the world. Or at least making a real supper that included all the major food groups. 

Worst part of the week: 

1. After Wednesday things immediately went back to -and have stayed at- business as usual.

2. I found more white hairs. 

3. I had a dream where I invented a taco shell made out of an ice cream cone and it was a best seller. It was especially popular with those who enjoy eating three flavors of ice cream at once. I told Christopher about it and he said it has already been developed. Even in my dreams I'm having issues.
