I've been feeling pretty good. I am always hungry though. I don't know about most women but I know that about 2 days before it's "that time of the month" I feel ravenous and now that I am over my morning sickness and well into my 2nd trimester I feel RAVENOUS all the time! It's great for my taste buds and awful for my belly line!
I am still very tired all the time but it's okay because my son is super cuddly at night!!
My 16 week appointment went great. We heard the heartbeat again and I'll never get tired of that. My OB gave me a hug cuz he thought I might have been cranky when I protested the blood test for all the genetic disorders... I figured I had it when Sage was born and my genes haven't changed so why should I do it again? Well apparently I can mutate... Kinda like the X-Men. So, I am going to go ahead and do it. BAH. At least I got a hug. I gained 8lbs. BOO!!! It was funny though because when I walked back out into the waiting room after being weighed, I told my sister in law and she said "What's wrong with that? 8 lbs. total is great for 16 week!". I said, "8 lbs. in a month!!!" and she goes "oooh... yeah, maybe not so good. hahah!". Hahahah I've made my peace with it though. I shall move onward and upwards on the scale no matter what I do so why fight it. As long as I don't gain as much as last time I'll be happy!
So all is good. Still working on getting the iPod video to you guys. Work is actually going pretty good :) Love ya!

I've created a monster.
Sage is officially obsessed with my iPod touch. For some reason I think he calls it "Dee" (not sure why). Last night he was in his chair and he was screaming bloody murder for "DEEEEEE. DEEE!" I didn't know what the heck he was talking about so I started picking up things, "this... This? THIS? Just tell me what you want" followed by him yelling "DEEEE!" Hahahah. I finally picked up the iPod and he seemed happy. He did the same thing this morning. Maybe "Dee" means down and I am just occupying him with the iPod. Hmmm. (**Lightbulb moment**)
At any rate, he still loves that thing. He knows all of his shapes now, which amazes me. I love how he says oval and diamond, "Oho" and "Monmond". It makes me melt a bit. he's been slow with his talking but the things he does know makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
We went do dinner a few nights ago with some friends and I use the iPod to occupy Sage when he gets fussy. It works fabulous and at least it is educational. The people in line and at the table next to us were all but freaking out about how well he seemed to navigate through the screens and how he does it all on his own. Aaron is convinced that I should record Sage on my Flipcam playing with it and send it to Apple so that maybe they might make him their spokesbaby. You know, like the e*trade commercials. If I remember, I'll see about getting him on film tonight so at least you guys can see it for yourselves.
I know I forgot to do my 15 week update last week. When I say it was a rough week I wasn't joking. Lots of weird things went on and most were to do my own fragile emotional status but all of which have waned which is great so I'll do my 16 week tomorrow and give you the details of tonight's baby appointment.
P.S. Sage fits on his tricycle now... Such a big boy!

A series of mini emotional diffulties...
Sorry I have been absent from the blog-i-verse but I have been having a rough couple days as far as handling stress and other messy life things. This has left me feeling uninspired and, honestly, not very positive about things. Rather than subjecting you guys to my negative funk and publicizing the not so pretty or funny portion of my life I am just going to take another day or two to gather my bearings and I will be back :) Thank you for understanding.

14 Week update
I'm feeling so much better and I feel like I am eating so much more hahah! So, I guess the morning sickness is officially gone!
The boobs are still pretty sore which is a huge pain (literally)!
I'm sleeping better this week and only waking up once or twice on a good night.
My moods are crazy, ask Aaron!
No movement yet.
My skin is all nice and pretty. Which is a kick in the pants because when i am not pregnant I break out all the time but when I have a bun in the oven my complexion is almost completely clear. If I didn't dislike being pregnant so much it would be almost worth it just for the clear skin.
I've gained a few more lbs. so, I think I am up to 13 now. Eeek. Weight Watchers here I come.
Sage wants to sit on my stomach all the time now. He's trying to help me keep Baby Parker warm :)
That's all to report for now. Over and out!

Two iPod/iPhone apps that my 22 month old loves!
I have realized that it's very challenging to entertain a toddler when they are put in non-kid friendly environments. Places like doctors offices, the DMV, sometimes even the grocery store or waiting in any line longer than a few minutes long. Recently, I received an iPod Touch for Christmas and have come across two apps that my son loves and I thought I might pass this info along.
The first app is made by Duck Duck Moose and it's called "Itsy Bitsy Spider". It's $.99 and it's the cutest thing ever. There is an option for you to record your own voice singing the song as well as many other musical options. It is a cause and effect based program which means that by touching objects on the screen it will cause things to react. It has 3 different screens with many different actions and the song plays in the background. Sage gets a kick out of the idea that he points to something and he makes things happen.
**I would also like to note that he enjoys the "Pocket God" app but only because he gets a kick out of flinging the pigmies around and waking them up when they fall asleep. He laughs hysterically.

The second app is called "Kid Genius". It is also $.99. This app is purely educational. It offers 5 different kinds of flash cards with really great pictures: Alphabet, Learn to count, Common words, Letter tracing and Number tracing. The alphabet, counting, and word features all have sounds to go along with every flash card and the letter and number tracing have touch/pen feature so you can see what you are writing. Sage has only really been able to use the alphabet and word features but I am sure he'll be using the others in a few years. Definitely worth the $.99!
