15 Weeks

We passed the 15 week mark yesterday. In some ways it is hard to believe that the time is going so fast, but in other ways I want it to pass even faster so I can meet these two! I am continuing to feel just great and I am looking forward to getting back in to the doctor on Monday to see how they have changed over the past three weeks.


The doctor told me at the last visit that I could possibly begin to feel the babies move at around 16 weeks. I am so excited to experience that! The other night I was talking to a friend about it and she told me that I could try drinking a cold glass of milk or water and then lay down on my left side. Before bed I poured myself an ice cold glass of water and drank it down. I laid so still on my side just hoping to feel something, but nope, nothing yet! I did have to use the bathroom more than usual that night though thanks to the water. :) I do expect though to start feel them moving before too long and I will certainly post about it when it happens!


Yesterday I bought a tape measure to keep track of the width around my belly. I think it will be fun to see how it changes and grows over time. Right now at the largest point around my stomach I am measuring at 36 inches. I just wish I knew what I was before I got pregnant. I'm sure it was like an 18 or so. :) haha.


I am wearing strictly maternity clothes now and it feels so good! The other day I went shopping and found a few deals. I tried on a lounge outfit at Kohls and I couldn't pass it up. They felt so amazing! I have been wearing them every day around the house - and if they were just a little more dressy I may have considered wearing them to work!

Here is a picture of me at 15 weeks wearing my new comfies. I look pregnant don't I? Go figure!

Ohhh, aren't you just adorable!!! I LOVED being preggars (99% of the time). I am glad you are relishing every moment. Being pregnant changes your perspective on so many things. Can't wait to meet Baby A and Baby B!

You look AMAZING as a preggie lady.
Of course you happen to be one of those rare people that "glows" even without being pregnant...but somehow you manage to glow even more. Beautiful
