15 weeks

I started thinking that our next baby might feel a little slighted when he or she realizes how well documented my pregnancy was with Blakely compared to this one!  By this time with Blakely I had taken a picture of my belly every week and filled up several journal pages of what was happening.  Who has time for that except someone who isn't a mom?!  Well, I decided I better get on the ball at least a little so this one knows he or she is JUST as important, and also so that I can remember how #2 was different from #1!

Here I am at 15 weeks.  I had a hard time figuring out how to take a picure of myself.  I know it shouldn't be that hard, but you have to get a good angle when you are pregnant!

Here I am at 16 weeks with Blakely.  And let me just admit right now, I really wanted to look pregnant back then (in the olden days...)  and I was probably pushing pretty hard on my belly, and I probably got the perfect angle to make me look as pregnant as possible. 

With current baby, I am trying not to look pregnant.  :)  I am definitely a little bit bigger this time around, but actually haven't gained as much weight this time- surprisingly.  Spin class, maybe? 

Luckily, no need for maternity clothes yet- though it probablly won't be long.  No cravings so far, just hungry a lot.  Also, very luckily, no aversions either.  Salads and other veggies don't sound completely disgusting like they did with B. 

I have started feeling movement.  Just little flutters here and there a week ago, then a definite kick yesterday. 

We are contemplating not finding out if this baby is a boy or girl.  Stephen and I are not on the same page, but I am trying to get him excited about waiting to find out.  I figure either way, we default to me, cause, well, I'm the pregnant one.  :)

We had our first family stomach bug- and boy is that overrated!  We are pretty sure B picked it up from the nursery last Sunday.  I'll spare you the details and just give you the overview.  There was lots of throwing up and other tummy troubles.  B passed it to both me and Stephen, and this bug wasn't just a 24hour thing, it lasted 5 days for all of us.  We had to cancel B's birthday party, which was a huge bummer since it was the only time we could do it.  :( 

Stephen's mom wasn't too scared of our bug, and just couldn't stay away from B!  So she came to visit- and we are so glad she did.  B already misses her.  They did LOTS of playing. 

Hopefully I will be posting in a couple of days some of our pictures from our super fun photoshoot (which was right in the middle of the bug) and stats on B's first birthday!!!
