Today’s craving, which has hit me hard, is for a big fresh salad.. with crunchy lettuce and tomatoes and cucumbers and cheese and eggs and olives and sesame seeds.. and homemade ranch dressing.  Mmm hm.

Lil Peep - 8 WeeksOriginally uploaded by SarahLena.

Have you seen the Friends episode where Jennifer Anniston goes for her ultrasound and can’t find the baby?

I TOTALLY didn’t have that experience. My little bean wasn’t shy at all. Now, I can’t tell you which end is the head and which end is the.. not the head, but there’s the Lil Peep, showing off for the camera. At one point, Lil Peep looked like one of those King Cake babies, a perfectly tiny little person.

The coolest part? The heartbeat. It is SO fast! Lil Peep’s heart works so hard to get blood going. It was the neatest thing to watch; it looked like a hummingbird’s wings.

In other news, my OB did the FASTEST pap smear I’ve ever had done. So much so that I kept waiting for the speculum, and began to freak out when he took off his gloves. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, he was so fast that I DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS DOING IT. I don’t know if I made him uncomfortable when I gushed about his skills afterwards, but he admitted, “Ain’t no sense in prolonging that, right?”

GET OUT OF MY WAY.

How you know he loves you:

I jumped up at 10:15 Sunday night and said, “OHMYGOD, I HAVE TO HAVE ICE CREAM.” He was smarter than to argue with me, so I flew into the kitchen and made myself a “medium size bowl” of Bluebell Cookies ‘n Cream. And some chocolate syrup.

When I came back to the couch, all he said was, “Hey, you’ve got a little something on your neck.”

I said, “Oh, I probably itched myself.”

He said, “No, I think it’s chocolate.”

I said, “I don’t have any chocolate on me.”

So rather than just laughing hysterically, he leaned over, grabbed the camera, and took this picture so that I could see that, yes, I not only had SOME chocolate on me, but I looked as if I had suffered a seizure while using the Hershey’s bottle.

And how I know he loves me? I didn’t care, and began eating the ice cream anyway. He gingerly leaned over with a paper towel and began sopping up my chocolate mishap.
