Well, I've had my first major craving. Monday night I was really wanting a Big Mac from McDonald's. Don't ask me why because I've never had one! But it was bed time so I just ignored it and went to bed, and decided I could have one the next day. On Tuesday morning, I packed a can of soup for lunch, but when lunch time came around, I REALLY wanted that Big Mac. I texted Tim, who was home, and asked if he could bring me one. Because he is such a wonderful, caring, compassionate, husband, he did! It took a while, and I only had 4 minutes to eat once he got there, but don't you know I finished the burger and fries with time to spare! :-) I have to say I wasn't that impressed with the famous Big Mac. It was good, but I think I still prefer the Quarter Pounder with Cheese.
I haven't been really craving anything else specific, except I've been eating a lot of cheese. I'll just grab a couple of slices from the fridge a couple of times a day.
I was looking online the other day for teaching jobs, and actually found one! A district nearby has an opening for a secondary math teacher, so I've been trying to get everything I need to apply online. (Just waiting on my letters of recommendation) If I could teach for a few years it would really help pull us out of debt quickly and we won't have to move. Our townhome is pretty expensive, and if I stay as an assistant we will probably have to move after our lease is up in December to help cut costs.
Well, the cat has done it. He attacked me again yesterday. He didn't actually bite me, but he tried, so I moved all of his things to the basement and locked him in there. He's allowed to be out during the day when Tim is home and I'm not, and I haven't locked him up today, but his stuff is not coming back up so hopefully he'll be down there more often, and especially when the baby is here, Max will be kept in the basement with the door closed.
So I'll be 7 weeks pregnant on Friday. Here is a picture from babycenter.com of what the embryo looks like and here is what they said about his/her development this week:
The big news this week: Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you're daydreaming about holding and tickling. Technically, your baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that's the only thing getting smaller. Your baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry.
If you could see inside your womb, you'd spot eyelid folds partially covering her peepers, which already have some color, as well as the tip of her nose and tiny veins beneath parchment-thin skin. Both hemispheres of your baby's brain are growing, and her liver is churning out red blood cells until her bone marrow forms and takes over this role. She also has an appendix and a pancreas, which will eventually produce the hormone insulin to aid in digestion. A loop in your baby's growing intestines is bulging into her umbilical cord, which now has distinct blood vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from her tiny body.

You're funny Amy- a Big Mac?? And if Max doesn't do as he's told, I bet your grandma and grandpa would be happy to let him live with them!! :)
Max is definitely not welcome to live with us (oh I bet she meant your other grandmother and grandfather -Elvis and Reeda)
When I was pregnant with your dad I craved chocolate eclairs. I couldn't get enough of them. When your dad was born grandpa brought me a whole sack of choc. eclairs to the hospital and I didn't even want them. So everything is weird and unexplainable - just enjoy it.
