most frequently asked questions...

All those that have been pregnant before know these FAQ's that are so popular and usually in the same order from every person...

1. When are you due?
2. Do you know if it is a boy or a girl?
3. Have you picked out a name?
4. Do you have an weird cravings?

And when they get to #4, I am always a little unsure what to say. I have cravings all the time. My husband will tell you I crave ice cream constantly (which is probably true) and I often want something salty like popcorn or something meaty like a burger! But I had all those cravings prior to being pregnant.

Then, Rick went out of town. I was eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and I realized most things I was eating had cinnamon in them. From cinnamon in my ice cream (apple pie a la cold stone) to cinnamon in my toast (pepperidge farm cinnamon swirl bread). Then I realized this started when I got pregnant. I remember scouring the grocery stores to find cinnamon and sugar for my biscuits before school and I even made some cinnamon bread and cinnamon streutal muffins. (I bet you are craving cinnamon now!) Even back when I was going through some morning sickness, all my snacks were cinnamon related! (I should've realized my craze back then!)

So now I can answer all 4 FAQ's!

1. When are you due? August 24th
2. Do you know if it is a boy or a girl? We are having a boy!
3. Have you picked out a name? Yes! Cooper James Rice
4. Do you have any weird cravings? Yes! CINNAMON! I think about it and get excited when I find a new way to eat it. I wish I was joking but I am not.

I guess it could be worse, I could be craving something gross like pickles on ice cream!

I voted the 8lbs. and some ounces because you and I are relatively same height, and Rickie and Jimmie are relatively close in height. Rickie was 8 and some (gotta find his hospital b/c). But I wanta add something to my vote. I also say Cooper James will be 22.5 inches long. Rickie was waaaaay tall at birth. :)
