Week 16

It is hitting me more and more these days just how much our lives are going to change once the baby arrives. Every holiday that passes, I think, "this will be the last... before baby." We are thinking of trying to do a short vacation, and it strikes me that this will be the last time for awhile that we will get to do that by ourselves-- and even once we do get to go somewhere again, we will be PARENTS, not just a couple. It's not that it's not a welcome change-- just one that will take some getting used to!

I am getting very excited about the big ultrasound next week. I am more excited about finding out the gender and praying that baby will be cooperative. I feel like I should be more anxious instead about whether the baby is healthy & well, which is the REAL purpose of the ultrasound.

I am getting more energy finally and can stay up much later now. I haven't really felt so sick at all lately (just a little gassy at times). I am officially in all maternity clothes (with the exception of a few old shirts I can still wear) and have been purchasing pieces to increase my wardrobe here & there. The store Ross has been a lifesaver and with only about $50 I think I've gotten maybe 3 entire outfits! I actually really enjoy maternity clothes, and not just because they're really comfortable, but because they make them really cute these days!
