15 weeks

I attempted to take another belly shot for this week but the shirt I'm wearing today is not working out so well to show the belly. So - basically I look like last week. Things are going well in babyland - the baby should be about 4" long now and about the size of an apple. Since there won't be much we need with this third baby (unless it's a boy then we'll obviously need clothes) I've been thinking of all those unnecessary but fun things to have for babies - like this new baby swing called a MamaRoo -



And getting ideas for the nursery since it's yet to be decorated...here are a few I like so far -


And then there's the cutest stuff for baby girls...

Headbands like this make me only want girls. :)

So my next appointment is a week from Monday - then it's the big ultrasound after that. For those wondering, no we aren't finding out what we're having - I love the thrill of waiting too much to find out (Adam would find out if I gave the go-ahead, but my sweet husband doesn't mind waiting with me).

Good news - this is the week that I was rid of morning sickness with both of the girls, and I'm feeling good right now so I'm hoping that this pregnancy follows suit and I'm on the up!

She's fancy.

I didn't have a pedicure until we moved to Indiana. Which means I was atleast 17. Noah, however, has had three now. She's fancy, what can I say?

Laura's Birthday

I'm trying desperately to catch up on my blogging - here are some pictures from a couple weeks ago.
Laura came home for the weekend and we all celebrated together then watched the Superbowl.

The BELOVED Children's Museum

I'm not sure who likes it more, me or the girls. It is so great to have somewhere to take the girls on these heinous cold days where they can run around and play with other kids, new toys, ride a carousel until their hearts are content and you are allowed to bring your own lunch! And the best part is, a friend of mine helped me catch this deal for half off a membership so we only paid $60 for our membership!!

Aunt Kim came with us over her Christmas break and we weren't the only ones who decided to go to the museum - it was packed there! But anything with Aunt Kim is a blast and we had lots of fun despite the crowds. AND Generous Aunt Kim decided to upgrade our membership for us to +2 - THANK YOU Aunt Kim!!  I took my new video camera (Christmas present from the parents, it's the size of a cell phone, I love this thing) - and took some videos -

14 weeks

I had a doctors appointment on Monday and everything is right on track - baby's heart rate was 142 and sounded great. The appointment was mildly chaotic because I had the girls with me - which in itself isn't bad for a short appointment like this one, but with Jocelyn's recently traumatizing trip to the dentist (at which she simply sat on my lap during my cleaning and after two attempts at getting her to open her mouth, we simply left) - Jocelyn decided that all doctors' offices must be evil and cried the ENTIRE appointment. It was pitiful and hopefully she adjusts quickly considering we go back every few weeks.

I had the flu a week and a half ago and am still recovering, and very thankful no one else in the house caught it. My immune system is pretty weak when I'm pregnant - so it doesn't surprise me that I got the flu, but hopefully that's the one bad illness I'll get this time around. I do not enjoy feeling like I'm cooking my baby with a temp of 102.

On another note, I'm definitely showing now. Which seems early to me, though technically it's not. I'm still in regular clothes, just sporting a gut :)Didn't necessarily mean to cut off my head in the first one, but I didn't have much patience during the self-timer usage and just went with it.




I just looked at pictures from last time and I look exactly the same as last time at 15 weeks - so that's good I guess :)

Morning sickness is getting better - still have times in the evening where I feel like I could vomit, and if I don't eat it's not a good thing...but drinking water doesn't seem to make me sick anymore so that is a huge plus! And I can actually make it through the day without a nap which helps immensely :)

We're still searching for names so send me some ideas!!

Christmas Eve - the presents

This is the ornament we got for Mom - a mother holding a baby - this is how we broke the news of #3 :)
