V has been super moody and whiny the past few weeks. I attribute it to a new room at school, her Daddy being gone so much, her tummy troubles, and of course, the baby. This weekend, she was a complete angel. We went in Trader Joe's today to grab a few things and I encouraged her to push the little mini cart around. She LOVED it. She kept up with me and was a huge help. She kept trying to put stuff in HER cart though. Such as vitamins (for "Daddy"), a beef roast of some sort, cereal, and a whole bunch of bananas. You can see the giant bag of pretzels she picked out too. It was very crowded, but I tried to grab a quick photo (her good coat and hat was in the wash, that is why she looks kooky!).

Friday Night Leftovers
I started working on another program at work because mine is sooo slooowww. It was initially met with apprehension, but I think things are going well and I am enjoying it.
My husband is finally back from a 10 day trip. Things went pretty well. Victoria watched a lot of Dora. Doing both drop off and pick up to school stunk though. I felt guilty about the TV but she is at school all day, I’m pregnant and tired, and it’s 7 degrees out. And we did lots of other things too.
Before I had kids I didn’t believe in TV, unhealthy foods, my kid would be potty trained prior to two. Whatever.
V’s newest obsessions are dancing, watching Umi Zoomi and Dora, clementines, ice packs (for imaginary injuries), and jumping on beds.
Trying to decide if I should run out to Whole Foods at lunch. I have lunch but it would save me a trip there on a weekend for some Gluten Free stuff I need. But it 10 degrees.
The “boy” has been moving like crazy. Especially as I get ready to fall asleep. Can’t believe I’m 25 weeks into another pregnancy! WHAT?!?! P says I need to stop referring to myself as “infertile”. I don’t know, do I? Am I not considered infertile anymore?

Food....
I am constantly hungry. I eat breakfast and 90 min later I am hungry. This morning in the hallway at work I smelled cinnamon. So I started craving cinnamon rolls. It has to be 6 years since I had one. Then someone was heating up Italian for lunch and I started craving spaghetti and meatballs (which I never have, because of gluten I have to make from scratch). At lunch I was craving a ham and cheese sandwich. Then later in the day I wanted some coconut rice and right now I desperately want some proper British fish and chips.
My mouth is salivating just thinking about food....

Friday Night Leftovers
• It is warm out today! 48 F. So far it has been a mild winter. It was this way last year as well, but February almost made up for it.
• Going back to work this week after being off for 10 days has been rough. On all of us. Including Victoria. Early rising coupled with an inability to sleep due to some crazy pregnancy thing makes me tired and cranky.
• I read five books over the holiday break and it was so nice! I read two about North Korea – one about the last American defector from the Korean War and one called “Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea” which follows six people that trace their lives in North Korea and eventually end up defecting. It’s very, very insightful and well written. I also finally read “The Hunger Games” trilogy. I loved them all, but the first book stood out as the most outstanding.
• I went through all of the infant clothes for V to see what was salvageable for the BOY. Those things were a stained, worn out mess. I ended up trashing a good many of her 0-3 month stuff (she didn’t have a lot), giving the less worn to GoodWill, taking few things to the consignment shop, and giving some things to a friend. Time to start shopping for the BOY.
• Did you notice BOY clothes are all brown and green and have a lot of sports themed stuff on them? My husband isn’t very sporty, so this may be a problem.
• I am eating leftover tortilla chips from yesterday from Chipotle. They are so good. How do they get that lime taste on them?
• Went to the OB Tuesday. I’ve gained 9 lbs at 22 weeks. She said it was “appropriate” but to watch it.
