Tomorrow will be 15 weeks, and we are well into the 2nd trimester. The nausea has abated quite a bit, although my relationship with food is still somewhat shaky. I used to eat one or two meals a day, never really needing to eat as much as I needed to sleep. Now, if I don't eat every 3-4 hours, I get shaky, my head hurts, I feel weak, and sometimes I think I'm going to faint. It's unsettling, especially when you're out shopping!
The baby should be about 4" right now, and weigh about 1.5 oz. I'm not really showing yet. I'll have to start taking pictures soon. Our next doctor appointment is November 12, and we'll find out then if it's a boy or a girl!
We've heard in the past few weeks of several expectant couples who miscarried - old high school friends, family of friends, friends of family - and it makes us thankful that this one has been healthy so far! But our heart breaks for those who are now going through the re-adjustment to not expecting, and we know how it feels. Please pray for those you know are going through this.
On the other side, so many people are looking forward to bundles of joy coming soon! In our church alone, 4 are expecting, 3 of which will deliver before the end of the year. We're looking forward to meeting the newest member of our church by this weekend!

Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!! We are THRILLED for you guys and so happy things are going well! :) I'm glad the nausea has subsided a little. We can't wait to meet your precious little bundle. Can't wait to find out if our little man will have a boy to play with or a girl. I must say: DO TAKE PHOTOS. I haven't been as diligent as I have always planned and wish I had now. It is so much fun as your body changes and will be fun to look back at. Keep a journal, too. Do you have one? Get one STAT if you don't. Pottery Barn Kids has them and I can give you a 20% family/friends discount if you get it this weekend...(but I have to give you the coupon..) So, I know I should have just called you or sent an email.. :) Glad you are doing well! I think we are coming to your church this weekend! Yeah! See you soon!
ps. I'm back...
Around 18 weeks....I started feeling the baby kick and move! It is the faintest little feeling that feels like a little butterfly in your belly. It almost feels like gas bubbles, too. So, if you find yourself saying "I think I felt the baby move" or "I can't tell....."...then it probably really IS your little bundle. :)
