Happy September & 15 weeks

Happy September!

The long Labor Day weekend flew by! Hope you had a great one! We laid pretty low. Dylan's stepdad came to town which is always fun. We had a small get together Saturday night to watch the UGA vs. Clemson game..sadly, Georgia lost. I'm sure Baby G got an ear full of Dylan's voice throughout the night! Girl or boy, I see many trips to Athens with Daddy in our baby's future.

Speaking of girl or boy...only 3 more days until we can find out! Feels like an eternity! 
A friend of mine is about 1 week ahead of me in her pregnancy and they just had their 3D scan. They are having a GIRL! They were stationed here with us before and now live in California. We are so happy for them!

I am so anxious to find out the gender but I'm also looking forward to seeing what's "going on" in there! Our only ultrasound was at 8 weeks, so the last time I saw Baby they looked like a gummy bear. I can't wait to see their little body, face, and arms and legs going crazy!

This morning I was laying in bed before getting up. I feel like my uterus has definitely popped up higher than it was before & I could tell which side the baby was on. My opinion is that I'm carrying really low...BOY?! 

I'm also really anxious to be in Atlanta! We leave tomorrow, woo hoo! Leaving our big boy Marchello with our neighbors while we are gone. I'm having doggy mom guilt already! I feel like he already "knows" we are leaving and has been sad and pouty the past few days. I have so much to do today to get ready, looking forward to my little 6oz cup of coffee in a few! 


15 Week Survey:

How Far Along: 15 weeks

How I'm Feeling: Baby must be growing because I've been a little more tired this week. I've noticed a lot of round ligament pain (especially when I sneeze!) but that's okay! Grow away, baby!

Weight Gain/Loss: I've been trying to up calories. I feel like I have put on a few pounds so looking forward to weighing once we get to Atlanta.

Cravings: Still no real cravings as of yet! My appetite has increased but I'm having flashbacks of 1st trimester because nothing sounds too appealing. My main snacks are cucumbers with red wine vinegar & cereal. 

Gender: I will be (happily) surprised if Baby is a girl, I'm really thinking BOY! We will know soon enough!

What I Miss: I always love the Octoberfest beers this time of year, but oh well! There's always next year!

What I'm Looking Forward To: Saturday! {Our 3D scan}. I also can't wait to finish our registry!

Weekly Wisdom: Hmm..not sure I have any this week. I guess my "wisdom" is to trust in yourself and your body. In the beginning of this pregnancy I was so overly cautious and paranoid about EVERYTHING I did. I feel like at this point, I'm a little more confident. I still follow the general guidelines but I have loosened up a little bit because I'm learning to trust my intuition. Stressing isn't good for you or the baby...woosah.
