Kara Kara Kara
So. I need to get a hold of you so we can talk about you visiting me. This needs to happen.
That is all.
Oh also I want to see Easter dress pictures of Abigail! Her birthday is coming up so fast.
It's A Girl!
My little princess is going to be a big sister to another little princess! She looked healthy on the ultrasound, the most important part! She seems to be calmer than Sophia already. So slept through pretty much the whole ultrasound (where Sophia was always jumping like popcorn) and we even watched her yawn.
Every week on Monday when it's my "new week" I always look up whatever week pregnant it is on the What to Expect website and the Baby Center website. At 20 weeks along, they recommended celebrating the halfway mark of pregnancy by treating yourself. One of the suggestions? Buy a sexy outfit. ........ Really? A sexy outfit? Was this site designed by men? Of all the ways to celebrate, they choose suggesting that you buy sexy fat clothes? Sigh. I will celebrate another way I think. I don't know how yet but not that.
Anyway, I am half way done! I can't wait to meet my beautiful sweetheart.

Crazy
I am 16 weeks along today already. 4 months down! And I have decided on how to announce the sex (if baby does not cross his/her legs). I will show you a preview.
We are announcing with "pig bears" and I think I will have Sophia be holding the appropriate colored bear....
The ultrasound is scheduled for March 6!

self conscience
Why am I doing this? It is so stupid. I shouldn't care
Plus I am driving my husband and mom crazy.
It makes me feel very immature. I wish that I would stop.

Test Results!
2. ZITS UP THE WAZOOO!! Hate it hate it hate it... and everywhere too, which I am not used too, especially the backs of my shoulders, so annoying because I can reach them. GIRL
3. Ring swing? uhg! all the effort across the house to find thread... anyway, circle... BOY
4. Bakeing soda? Really.... gross.... so not happening.
5. Heart Rate. 159 last time. GIRL!
6. This one is weird... since i found out, I could barely EAT sweets, they were gross to me, but the last 1.5 weeks, I have been CRAZY about sweets... and I gain FIVE POUNDS (I hadn't gained any yet, so I am trying to be ok with this, but I am not). So I am not sure about this one. I am going to say BOY because i spent most of my time craving salty.
7. Mayn = Girl Chinese = BOY
8. Sympathetic? nope! Zach's has lost weight! BOY
9. Morning sickness didn't start still 7 weeks, and was over by 10... threw up once... I am going to say BOY
10. Key Test? BOY
11. I am going to add one here... the "baby whisperer." I have friends with a 3 year old daughter. They claim that she has been right on guessing 7 different babies, and only gotten 3 wrong. She says I am having a GIRL!
That leaves it at 7 for BOY and 4 for GIRL... but I totally believe that some of these could have been "scewed" by a subconscious desire for a boy.
YAY! Real results TOMORROW!!!!
Is Kara Having a Boy or a Girl??
1. Where are you carrying? If you are like me, you couldn't tell when you are only 20 weeks along anyway so it doesn't matter, but supposedly if you carry high it's a girl, low it's a boy. Carry in front? It's a boy. If you expand the LONG way, it's a girl.
2. Skin. Girls "steal your beauty" - have you had zits/blemishes? It's a girl. Dry hands/cold feet? Boy (this didn't work for me... my feet were ALWAYS cold).
3. "Ring Swing". Take off your wedding ring, tie a string around it, and hang it over your belly. If it swings in a circle, it's a boy... if it swings back and forth, it's a girl... I never did try this one.
4. There is one that calls for you to mix your pee with drano, but that is dangerous and can produce fumes. So, I read that instead, you pee in a cup and mix it with baking soda. If it fizzles, you are having a boy. If not, it's a girl.
5. Heart rate. If it's under 140, it's a boy... if it's over 140, it's a girl. This was true for us - her heart rate was always fast!
6. Cravings! If you are craving sweets, it's a girl. Salty or sour? It's a boy. I craved salt though.. and also spicy things... so I don't know.
7. Your age and birth month. Mayans: So - age at conception (24) and year your baby was conceived (2012). If both are even or odd, it's a girl (so...girl!). If it's one even one odd, it's a boy. Or there is the Chinese method: Chinese Baby Sex Prediction Calendar
8. Sympathetic Pregnancy? If Zach has had pregnancy cravings too, and has put on a little weight, it's a girl! This was true for us :)
9. How was the morning sickness? If it was bad the first trimester, it's a girl. If you hardly had morning sickness, it's a boy!
10. This one someone else has to do to you so it is too late if you are reading this. But, place a key in front of someone who is pregnant and ask them to pick it up. If they pick up the narrow part, it's a girl. The wide part at the top? It's a boy.
But tomorrow the real test comes back!! AHH!!!

Doesn't make any sense. I am upset. I am way cooler than some of the people who get four times the "likes" I deserve.

Election Day
Also, I am REALLY excited for polling stuff to stop. We have had tons of people come to our door, and I have had 3 polling phone calls on my cell phone, and I wouldn't mind so much but most of these people are trying to get me to vote for the liberal candidates. Where are the people supporting the conservative candidates? Oh... yeah... I live in Minnesota.
I KNOW!!
Also, Voxer is awesome.
Kara Joy - I love you. The end.
