Two Down... One to Go and Grow!!

Man, has time flown by! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was taking a test and then it coming back positive and immediately thinking "How can I tell Chase this weekend, when I go see him, we are pregnant - in a way that is cute and creative". So now I'm done with this trimester and it's all down hill from here. Pretty soon, we will finally meet this little blessing from God and bundle of Joy!! :)


Once again I've kept up with things happening during this trimester and cravings I've had, etc...
You (lil' Miss):
- still have NOT made me have nausea
- don't mind spicy foods now
- have made me still crave or want to eat often:
   hamburgers with cheese and bacon, tomatoes, ice cream,
   and pickles, candy, ICEE, chocolate pudding

- still like root beer and Big Red

- move MORE when dad has his "bump time" with you more than
   than when I try to feel for you (you're becoming daddy's little
   girl early on)

- are very active when I lay down at night to go to sleep

- seem to "dance" when bagpipe music is playing

- kick like a soccer player "in the making"!
- have a cute little button nose (from the sono pictures
   of your profile)
- might be tall and long like your daddy

I:

- still have heartburn/indigestion after I eat lunch but not as often

- finally got my energy back!

- can eat more foods that I didn't want before

- have a HUGE appetite now!

- still don't like getting up in the middle of the night to go to the
   bathroom but have figured out a pattern

- use Victoria's Secret "butter lotion" stuff to rub on my belly cause
   it seems to be the only thing that works on not making it itch,
   and it works all day!
   (I think you will come out smelling like "Love Spell")

- looking pregnant now and not "lazy"

- can wear a few of my favorite jeans but I finally bought a pair of
   maternity jeans and they are becoming my favorite!
   (didn't think I would ever think that)

- felt you kick me for the first time at 15 weeks (earlier than normal
   but it was very cool)

- still listen for you at night with my stethoscope and it's more
   fun now to hear you kick/move through it, as well as listening
   for your heartbeat.

- I have gained 17 lbs since I first found out I was pregnant
   (I started out at 105, I'm at 122 so far) In the first two
   trimesters, I have gained 17 lbs total and still gaining.

This trimester we found out what we were having...

A GIRL!! (name to be announced when she's born)

Belly pictures from this trimester (Yeah, I know I skipped a few weeks during this one)

So we have 15 weeks or less left until we get to meet this little button nosed little girl... Can't believe it!! So exciting!!
