How exciting is this - my baby is the size of an orange!!! I am officially 15 weeks pregnant! I'm feeling pretty good, although work has been tough lately. I am absolutely exhausted by the end of the week...I am definitely living for relaxing weekends! I NEED them! I'm starting to get a little belly...but right now, I just look like I'm gaining weight. I'm currently in the "in-between" stage when people may be asking "is she, or isn't she?"...I hate this stage!!! I want my belly to pop!! I'm ready to show it off!!

Hello 2nd Trimester!!

I am officially in my second trimester....whooohooo!! My little fetus is the size of my clenched fist! I am feeling better physically (I actually feel like getting out of the house!)...although I find myself struggling with my emotions...sorry Will! My abdomen is achy, and stomach actually feels like the muscles on either side are stretching and pulling....especially when I get up to too quickly or when I first get out of bed in the morning. It can be quite uncomfortable, but usually only lasts a minute or two. I suppose these are growing pains...


I am absolutely terrified of getting stretch marks. I know the lotions aren't really supposed to help, but I have already started to use them! I have already started growing...my work clothes are really tight this week...I have started wearing a bigger size. I don't think the person walking down the street can tell I am pregnant yet, but I can definitely tell...and so can Will! He absolutely LOVES it!! It is hilarious....he is enjoying every moment of this!

I finally had enough energy to get out and about for a while this past weekend...I think I needed it! We went to the Frisco Rough Riders game Saturday night to celebrate Kendall and Kristin's birthdays! It was really fun...I love watching baseball games, and I love ballpark hot dogs! The Rough Riders even won! I have to admit I was a little surprised at the difference between minor league games and the majors! There were a few more errors, but it was definitely entertaining! The Dr. Pepper ballpark in Frisco is really nice! We had a great time!

I'm not sure what we will do for the 4th of July this year....I just want to see fireworks!! For the last couple years, we have gone with the McCullough's to Lake Cypress Springs. After the Rough Riders game, I slept for almost 11 hours....then I napped all day Sunday. If a one night outing will zonk me out like that, I can only imagine what a day at the lake in the sun would do! It's kind of a bummer that we won't be with everyone, but hopefully we'll be back next year!

Tomorrow I will be 11 weeks pregnant! I know it may sound silly that I know exactly how pregnant I am to the day, but I can't help it! Everyday feels like an accomplishment!! I love it that Baby J is getting bigger and stronger every single day....he/she is two inches long now! Two more weeks until the second trimester! I can't wait...more energy please!
