15 Weeks!

I never really think I look very big until we take the weekly timeline picture. I might have been better off to do these with my shirt pulled down.

So this marks the 15th week of pregnancy and I will be going to the doctor this week (finally!). I get so excited for doctor's appointments until about the night before when I remember they are going to weigh me. I could live without that part. It should be a law that pregnant women are not allowed to look at the scale - all weighing is done facing the opposite direction. I laugh at myself because I always take off my shoes before getting on the scale, even when I am wearing flip-flops. I thought it was (maybe a little) absurd until I saw someone else do it the last time I had an appointment. Phew - I'm not the only crazy one.

There's not much new to report this week, except that this belly keeps growing! It might have something to do with the fact that the only things I want to eat include: ice cream, chocolate, cereal, chocolate, candy, pop tarts, chocolate, and sometimes fruit (covered in chocolate). Oh, and I want to eat those things ALL the time. I seriously had hunger pains 2 hours after eating a bowl of cereal today. I blame the baby, which is one of the perks of being pregnant.

After much discussion, Drew and I have decided not to find out the sex of the baby. I know, I know - you are disappointed. You can be angry with me because to be honest, I did most of the discussing... Drew eventually just caved. Poor guy - he knew he never stood a chance. I love surprises and I really do feel like not finding out with our first was the best surprise I have ever had in my life. I am certain I will feel the same way about this one.

Oh, and to add to that - we won't be sharing our name choices, either. Just imagine all the surprises you have to look forward to in December.... right?
