"Guyyez!"
I have to blog about this. I'm sure my toddler isn't the only one to do this, but it cracks me up. Jude has come up with an all-encompassing word that pretty much means anything and everything. Let me share with you.
"Fix this" - "Guyyez".
"Help" - "Guyyez".
"Get that for me" - "Guyyez".
"I'd like some more of that." - "Guyyez".
"Let's go over there." - "Guyyez".
"Look at that." - "Guyyez".
"Open this." - "Guyyez".
Yes, the word "Guyyez" is his favorite right now. Perhaps it's because of how effectively it works when he points to something, says it, and we do what he wants. Is it Eskimos that have like 4,000 words for the word "snow"? Well, my son has one word for about 4,000 phrases.

Hell Froze Over!
This is a follow up to my picky eating post below. I would just like to report what Jude happily ate for dinner last night:
Whole wheat pita squares with HUMMUS
Green beans
Fresh pineapple slices
Hummus? Really Jude? I was ecstatic (but I couldn't let him see that). After eating two squares of pita-hummus, he then told me he wanted peanut butter on his other two. Okay, I can live with that. Yay for improvements (maybe). He also just could've been really hungry from our long walk around the neighborhood before dinner. Regardless, it was very exciting. Fingers crossed we're over the hump.
Maybe he traded in the picky eating for sleep issues. The last few nights, he has woken up in the middle of the night and STAYED awake for an hour or two. He is such a stinker...and I'm a walking zombie.

6 Weeks Pregnant
How far along: 6 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 0
Maternity clothes: No
Stretch marks: No
Sleep: Meh. I'm already having to pee a TON (damn uterus growing and blood volume doubling) so I get up 1-2 times in the middle of the night.
Best moment this week: Feeling RLP (round ligament pains). I know, it's silly, but it is a sign that everything is progressing so I'll take it!
Movement: None
Food cravings: I think it's more aversion-inspired than craving per se, but the last few nights only noodles with olive oil or mac-n-cheese sounded even slightly appetizing.
Gender: No clue - my instincts say boy.
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out: In
What I miss: Energy
What I am looking forward to: First ultrasound is next Thursday, April 7!
Milestones: Heartbeat starts this week!!
