Stuck?

He was whining and I didn't know why. This is how I found him and I had to capture some pictures. Then i helped him down.

15 weeks

15 weeks already? I feel like it has flown by!
The baby is the size of an orange.

Symptoms:
More energy: During the day but then I crash at night. That is good cause then I am rested in the morning and can wake up with my early riser at 6:45 every morning.
Irritable: Can get moody easily.
More of an appetite: I am hungry more which is good but its hard to want to eat all the time.
More stress and worrying: Need to trust God!

Cravings:
Pickles, salty, and tomatoes. Chocolate is better but still would rather have salty stuff.

Movement:
This time with Brandon I was still feeling flutters like a butterfly. This time around I feel full blown kicks. I think baby b is going to be a feisty one. It is almost to the point I think that Ben would be able to feel them. The baby likes to kick me when Brandon lays on my stomach. Apparently Brandon can't feel them yet cause he just lays there through the kicks.

Brandon has started this thing a couple weeks ago that when we ask where the baby is he lifts up my shirt and kisses my stomach. I love it and he is going to be such an awesome big brother!

Thoughts:
I have been more stressed lately but I need to just enjoy this time now. Enjoy Brandon being an only child for a few more months and enjoy being pregnant. Although I want more after this one, we may not be able to and I have to be thankful for what God has given us and how He has blessed us beyond anything I can every imagine. I have been studying Isaiah at BSF and it has been hard but so rewarding. I have learned so much about God and how He judges in love, cares about all people (not just Jesus followers), and longs for everyone to know and trust Him. It has been a wonderful journey so far!

14 weeks

14 weeks with Brandon

Wow... I can't believe that I am already 14 weeks. The time has passed so quick!

Baby b is the size of a lemon.

Symptoms:
Tired: But energy is coming back. I am able to do so much more than before!
Impatient: I have a really hard time with whining and loud crying.
Appitite is coming back
Nesting?: I hate when my house is out of order and it has to be clean for me to relax. I have been deep cleaning alot as well.


Morning sickness:
I still haven't gotten it and I am assuming that if i haven't gotten it by now then I am not going to get it.

Cravings:
Salt, pickles, some candy. Chocolate just doesn't do it for me.

Movement:
I feel the baby move a lot more. I love feeling the kicks and knowing that he/she is alive and doing really well. Its weird how early I was able to feel it.

Thoughts:
I am getting so excited to find out what we are having. We will be able to find out soon.

Fire Truck

Ben has a fire truck that they are fixing down at his work. Brandon thought it was great to sit in it and had such a fun time driving the huge fire truck! So awesome to see one up close!
