15 weeks!

Well, today marks 15 weeks and 4 days.  I finally am getting a noticeable belly.  Now I have to think about what I wear because it either makes me look pregnant (for a change) or a little fat, or it just covers the belly all-together.  So, I have some options, but just have to be more conscientious I guess.  However, I'm still in mostly normal clothes... occasionally I'll wear a maternity shirt or pants just because they are much more comfortable, but I do still have some clothes that still fit (snuggly might I add, but they fit).  I have a good feeling I'll be out of my normal stuff, pants especially, here real soon.  Here is my growing belly:


Garrett and I went to the Dr. Monday and got to hear the little ones heartbeat again.  The doctor said that all looks and sounds good which is wonderful!  Then Monday afternoon I went to get blood taken for my Quad Screening.  I have to wait until I see the doctor again before I can hear the results.  I'm just hoping and praying for our baby's continuing positive progress and a healthy baby boy or girl.

For those that are asking or are curious, I still have two weeks before I can set up my ultrasound to find out if it's a boy or girl.  Believe me, nobody is more anxious to know than Garrett.  He is so excited and cannot wait to find out if we will be welcoming a little boy or little girl.  I'm excited too, but I love surprises, so the wait isn't terrible.  I know it'll be worth it.  Heck, I wanted to wait until delivery day to know if we had a boy or girl, but Garrett did not want to wait that long, especially for our first.  So, we'll be finding out our this one and for any future little Myers' that may come around, we may wait to find out.

Thank you everybody who is keeping up with my blog and encouraging me each week or asking how I'm doing.  Some days are definitely better than others, but the positives definitely far outweigh the negatives.  I do know this is one incredible blessing that I wouldn't change for the world.

Also, this weekend Garrett and I went to Largo for a long-time friend of his' wedding.  Rebecca looked beautiful and it was a wonderful ceremony.  It was nice to be able to get away and while there we also got the chance to see my favorite!  I always love seeing my cousin Sarah.  Garrett, myself, favorite, and Mike all got to have a wonderful dinner together.  Here are a few pictures from the wedding:


Oh and here's what theBump.com has to say about our baby's growth and changes:

your baby's the size of a navel orange!
The average fetus at 15 weeks weighs 2.5 ounces and measures 4 inches -- and his proportions are becoming even more normal, since his legs now outmeasure his arms.


your baby at 15 weeks
  • You probably can't feel it yet, but she's squirming a ton!
  • She might even be hiccuping in there.
  • She's making lots of progress: her joints and limbs can all move now.
