More chocolate milk, please...

Well, as you could probably tell by the title, my baby is currently in love with chocolate milk...I want it all the time. I even wanted it with my buffalo chicken sandwich I had for dinner tonight. The after thought grosses me out. :) At least I'm getting my milk!
I've been thinking alot about labor and delivery lately. I keep getting scared that my baby is going to be huge. This is probably an irrational fear and not one I'm really dwelling on, but when I think about labor and delivery this is what comes to mind. I was 5 lbs and 8 oz and Cliff was 9 lbs and something. Oh goodness. I can't imagine birthing a 9 lb baby! I was talking to my mom tonight about delivery. She was in labor with me for quite some time. Evidently I was a pain even back then. :) I think she was in labor for close to 24 hours. That's horrendous! Surely there are things they will do to ensure I don't go that long. If you are reading this and thinking "you just wait, missy..." then you can just keep that comment to yourself. Trust me, I will not react well to it. :) Mom says she doesn't remember being in much pain, which is encouraging but that she was completely out of it and drugged up. Not encouraing. Ha ha. I decide that my labor will last about 30 minutes, I will get there in plenty of time to get my epidural and everything will go well. Say it with me...
Baby has yet another name to add to the list. Bobby. In the same conversation, Mom told me that as she was analyzing our ultrasound picture she decided it did not look like a gummy bear, it looked more like Sponge Bob Square Pants. I am sure I will learn lots about him in the years to come, but all I know now is that he "lives in a pineapple under the sea..." and that my baby favors him.
We have another doctor appointment in 3 weeks and it's killing me that I have no updates! This pregnancy is dragging by! I am almost to week 9 which means only a few more weeks in the 1st trimester. I am soooo ready to get out of this first trimester and move into the 2nd one. Mostly I'm ready to get going on the preparations.
Everyone that has given me feedback seems to really like the name Colten, or at least you are following directions nicely and telling me that you do. :)
Well, it's late...and I know that even though I don't feel overly tired right now tomorrow morning I will be feeling like a garbage truck scooped me up, shook me around and dumped me out, so I better head to bed. Night!
PS-My titles are dumb. I have a friend who comes up with very catchy titles for her blog. This I am jealous about.
