Week 15 Update -- HellOoo Down There!

This is all going by really fast. I feel like since we shared our little video about a month ago, the weeks are just flying by. I sure hope I still feel this way when I'm 30 weeks along and trying to convince myself that I really do want these babes to grow for another 6-8 weeks.



How far along? 15 Weeks exactly
Total weight gain/loss: +13
Maternity clothes? Found a skirt for Kiara's wedding that has the most blissful waistband ever. I wore it all day Sunday even while driving across the greater Dallas area. Cam asked if I'd like to change before going and I mentioned to him that this skirt is better than any pair of jeans I own. Fantastic. Also, the weather cooled down enough for me to wear my sweaters! I have a few nice long sweaters that don't cling to me and don't require a shirt underneath to make modest. win-win-win.
Best moment this week: After a completely terrible flight Monday morning, the cabin de-pressurized and I felt the biggest kick! It's the first time I have had no doubt it was one of the babies. I was beaming from there on out. Because of the timing (with the cabin de-pressurizing and such) I doubt it will be consistent for a few more weeks, but it was super cool!
Movement: See above :)
Waist Diameter: [I'm forcing myself to bite the bullet and actually do this one this week.]
Food cravings: I wanted Nacho Cheese from Taco Bell yesterday. Bad. I believe Cameron was trying to convince me that we needed to pre-order Harry Potter 7 part 2 on BluRay yesterday and I told him that if he took me to Taco Bell he could order the movie. (what a deal for him, eh?!)
Gender: Probably won’t find out until week 20.
Labor Signs: None, thank heavens. :)
Belly Button in or out? Totally still in, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time!
What I miss: Liking the way Cam smells. lol. Poor guy. If the tiniest bit of cologne is on his person, I will smell it and I won't even be able to handle sitting next to him, let alone having his arm around me. Cam really likes smelling nice, so we're both anxious for that particular stage to be over.
What I am looking forward to: Seeing all the family this weekend at Kiara's wedding! It'll be so fun. Also, Cam has his A-game on to make the drive not so miserable. Love him.
Milestones: Someone asked me when I was due flat out. Yay for not just looking fat anymore! Also, I threw up in the morning for the very first time yesterday. I've always just been sick at night. I must say, I've always wondered why it was called "morning sickness". Now I know. I should also say, I very much prefer evening sickness. ALSO, I am less than 9 weeks away from my very last day at work. Single digits baby!
Realization of the week: I will probably be hungry until further notice. It doesn't matter if I've eaten in the past 5 minutes or not, because if I eat one bite too many it'll all come right back up the chute. A lot of what I thought was important for these babes is quickly falling away. I don't need a designer nursery. I don't need a closet full of cute clothes. I don't need the entire toy section in my living room. I am quite content with a pack-and-play until the babes are too big to share a crib. I need them healthy and safe and in my arms. The rest is just a bonus.

  3. yay! we are so excited for you guys! And being sick is good, just means those babies are healthy and growing in there! Just remember, the sick phase will pass- hopefully! Can't wait to see prego pics of you! I'm sure you arejust as cute as ever! oh and ps. the kiddos won't know what toys are for months, so I wouldn't worry too much about that kind of stuff now, though it is SUPER fun to spoil them rotten!
