15 Weeks...

Well here we are at 15 weeks.

It might not look like my stomach is very big but in the 4 days since I took these pictures it seems to have doubled in size. My lovely students at school keep commenting about my growing belly and tell me I am "glowing". I will take this as a compliment, although it feels the opposite.

I would have to say that I am definitely showing sooner with this baby but my goal is not to gain 65 pounds this time around. To accomplish this task I have joined a gym. I am pretty impressed with myself and hope that I can keep it up. Although, I don't think I will be doing the stair-master again, I could barely survive that when I wasn't pregnant.

We had a dr appt yesterday and everything looked really great. The baby was flipping and twisting all over the place. Its crazy to think that there is so much movement inside of me and I cant even feel it yet. The ultrasound technician was impressed by the clearly visible 4 chambered heart, active movement, and pretty spine.

The next time I go will be at 20 weeks and I will know for sure whether it is a boy or a girl. I love having a boy but I feel like having a girl would let me experience everything life has to offer. I am sure Luke would be much more impressed with a brother. David of course "knows" its a boy and its sprouting out ridiculous boy names left and right. It might take us a while to decide on this little baby's name...

We have been preparing Luke for a new baby and he seems to be okay with it. If you ask him where the baby is he will say in my tummy, its very cute.

Here are some pictures of Luke at his new favorite hang out, Chuck-ee Cheese. I think that Chuck-ee Cheese gets a pretty bad rap and I will admit that I was a little weary to take him there but guess what? Its awesome! There is no way for them to get out without you. Parents can keep an eye on their kid, somewhat relax, and eat some pizza. Glorious. Much better than him trying to climb out of the back of the booth at a restaurant or running around chickfila's cramped play place like a crazy person. Guess who will be going back next week??
