New Jeans

So I know it's been awhile since I've posted a blog...please forgive me!  Life has been a little crazy lately.  We are now starting our 15th week! This week Peanut will grow to the size of an apple and will weigh around 2 1/2 ounces. (That's pretty huge in comparison to a few weeks ago!) Peanut's legs are now longer than his arms and bones are developing and strengthening. It's still so amazing to me what can happen in just a few weeks...

On my side of things...I had the enjoyable experience of buying new jeans!!  Some of my friends kept warning me that one day I would wake up and suddenly have a little baby belly. I refused to believe it could simply happen "over night." But, it did. I woke up Friday morning and found that I could not button my jeans!  The funny part is, I've only gained 1 pound so far. But at this point the baby is growing at such a fast rate, there isn't any more room inside! Part of me is really excited to start "showing" so the whole world knows that we are expecting, but the other part of me is a little nervous to start this sixth month journey of non-stop growing!  I guess I don't really have a choice though so I might as well enjoy it.

Our next doctor's appointment is this coming Thursday so I will try to post a blog after that...or maybe Auntie Shay will want to post since she is coming for a visit that day...  :) We're hoping we get to hear the heartbeat again. Our midwife wants to wait until we are 20 weeks along to do the first ultrasound and that would be in early February, but in the meantime I will try to take some pictures of my growing tummy and post them for the world to see. 

The next big adventure for us is our trip to Ireland and Rome! We leave a week from Monday.  This baby gets to travel young!  I'm praying for quick flights and room to stretch out on the plane, since our recent trip to Canada was not the most comfortable I have experienced.  But we had this trip planned before we found out about our little one so we are going to go and have a great time! 

Allright, I will keep you posted on our next appointment!
