Craving confusion?

Not in the order I wanted, but whatever. I don't have time to fix it!

34 week belly pic per request. It just keeps getting bigger!
Singing for Kyle's birthday!

Frontal belly picture at 31 weeks, I think


Chase ready for the day, hair still not done and somewhat still sleepy eyes, but excited because we were going over to his friend Caleb's house to play.


Pregnancy just baffles me. How it can be so different each time, how a woman's body just grows a baby, and so many other things. So what's my problem you ask? I have a little predicament with this pregnancy. You see when I was pregnant with Chase I craved a lot of refried beans (weird), red meat, pizza, and anything sweet (this may have something to do with why I gained 80 pounds during that pregnancy). With this baby I have the same craving for proteins (carne asada meat specifically) and of course pizza, mmm Barro's pizza with everything on it...Anyways! The whole point is I still crave sweet treats during this pregnancy, however sweets make me violently ill! Is that normal? It's like my body's confused. First it craves something in particular like a cupcake or cookie or cadbury mini eggs but whenever I give in I feel so nauseous for a good long time, like I'm being severely punished. I never threw up once in my pregnancy with Chase, and I've quadrupled that with this one. EVERYTIME I've thrown up it's been after eating something sweet a few minutes to hours before. I didn't even think it was possible to throw up after 30 weeks, but indeed I am wrong as I was shown today. I am not complaining really, just confused. I do have to say that I would take throwing up all throughout the pregnancy over swelling, excessive weight gain, tingling hands and fingers, etc. ANY DAY! I just wish I wouldn't crave something that ultimately makes me a vomitous mess the rest of the day.

Anyways, onto bigger brighter things. Tax season is officially over, thank heavens! We had a blissful 4 day weekend last week and it's so nice to have our lives back to normal. We celebrated Kyle's 28th birthday on Friday and had delicious crepes, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit for breakfast. Then we spent the day relaxing, going to the park and enjoying the beautiful day. We topped off the night with a yummy dinner at California Pizza Kitchen and then headed home for german chocolate cake (Kyle's favorite) and ice cream.

Other than these bits of news, not much more is happening with the Whites. Here are some pictures that we've taken recently. I haven't been the best photographer lately, I guess I need to keep the camera on me more often!
