We saw the flickering of a tiny heart!

I was woken up at 5AM this morning by someone down on the street using a jackhammer.

5AM. This MORNING. Jackhammer.

I live on the 32nd floor. I can only imagine what it was like for the people who live on all of the floors below me.

-A protein shake made with an organic banana, organic vanilla yogurt, organic rice milk, organic flax seed oil, and protein powder
-Two bowls of organic whole wheat cereal with rice milk
-Organic baked wheat and flaxseed crackers
-Two slices of organic American cheese
-Organic vegetable broth with organic veggie alphabet noodles
-Two organic apples
-Baked snap pea crisps
-An organic strawberry breakfast bar
-Organic cashews
-Brown rice pilaf with organic vegetable lentil soup on top
-Half a thin crust cheese pizza
-Several glasses of organic OJ
-Organic hot chocolate

Finally, I broke down last night and I had a Three Muketeer's bar. Believe it or not THAT is what the demon spawn wanted. I actually went to bed last night without feeling hungry.
Here I am trying to eat healthy, organic stuff, and the only thing that satisfied me was something with artificial flavors and colors. Go figure.

So, I'm hungry.

REALLY hungry.

I know you think you understand, but you don't.

I have never been this hungry in my life. It's a different kind of hunger. It's not the type that you can ignore. It demands attention. Like, NOW. And I go from being not hungry, to if I don't eat now I'm going to chew my own arm off, in 60 seconds flat.

I feel like my body is being held hostage.
"Just give us what we want and nobody gets hurt"
"But I don't have any Three Musketeer bars"
"Well, you better find a way to get some OR EVERYBODY DIES!"

My favorite part is when I'm eating something, actually shoveling food into my mouth,and I'm still ravenous.
It's like my brain doesn't realize that I'm eating.

I'm almost never satisfied and even when I am, I'm hungry again an hour later.

I'm just going to say this out loud with the hope that if I do, it can't possibly be true:

I better not be having twins.

I spoke to my doctor yesterday and she said my HCG and Progesterone levels were "perfect" (If not a little high)!
(For those of you who don't understand what the hell I'm talking about- my blood test was "perfect")

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but YAY!

My fingers and toes are starting to cramp from all the crossing.

This is the reason why

-My arms look like this
-I can't go to Stanley
-I just ate crackers for breakfast
-I refuse to get a manicure even though I could really use one
-I am so hungry that if I don't get food NOW I will kill everyone within a three block radius
-I burst into tears over how in love I am with my husband
-I am apprehensively happy

Check it out.

I can't decide which one is my favorite, but I'm leaning towards the naked indian humping a corn dog.

The husband and I are leaving today for a week's vacation.

We'll be spending a few days at my mom's in the Poconos, and a few days here.

I probably won't be posting much while I'm gone, if at all.
I might post some pictures on Flickr.

Have a great week!
