Week 15

Yes I'm a bit late...once again, but I wanted to wait till after my doctors appointment and then I ended up forgetting.

We participated in the Saturday market at the Battle Ground Village for the first time. I was a bit discouraged at first because things weren't selling. Once a few things sold I felt a little better and was happy to sit and make more stuff as we went.

Since I started doing day care I ended up having to change my doctors appointment to Tuesday. All day Monday I kept thinking "all I want is to hear my baby's heart beat" and it was especially bad when Leila went down for her nap and I had pretty much nothing to do.
On Tuesday we had a list of things we needed to do so we left a bit early. We stopped at the VA and got Alex's paper turned in. After sitting there waiting to turn in a paper we ran over to Micheal's to find me some more beads. We got some GREAT deals on some stuff and of course I couldn't wait to get home to play with them. Once we were done there we ran over and grabbed a bite to eat before heading to the doctors. When we got to the doctors we were over an hour early so we ended up taking a short walk. It was great until we were walking along the edge of a somewhat steep hill and baby started wiggling...in turn throwing my equilibrium off and making it harder to stay on the path. Once into my doctors she checked the heart beat. I love this part so much because I really don't feel much more than a "flutter" (as most women describe it) and hearing that little tiny heart just melts mine.

Mainly it's just been a busy week. I've spent a lot of time getting ready for the market and trying to figure out better ways to organize. I'm also trying to get my stuff cleaned up and organized so we can move my desk out to the living room and start working on the nursery. Our doctors put in a referral to the place where we are going to have the ultrasound done and we're working on working out schedules so that we can schedule a time to go in most likely in June.

I had Alex take these pictures of me at 15 weeks and I'll put up one of the 11 week pictures. I don't know that you can really tell how much I've grown but I know I am due to the fact that my jeans are all held together with little rubber bands and bella bands to cover the gap...
