Weeks 14 & 15!

So, I remembered to take a picture last week, but ran out of time to post a blog (oops). I'm doing my best, I swear! But wedding planning, being a senior in college, and being pregnant are exhausting!

First is my belly at week 14, it's funny to watch it grow little by little. People have started noticing the bump at this point and asking if I'm pregnant, which is amusing. Nathan told me I should tell people no, that I'm just having issues with my

weight just to embarrass them, but I don't have it in me to be quite so mean.

Anyway, last week itty biddy was about the size of a lemon. Which is pretty darn big! She has all her fingers and toes and probably began sucking her thumb.

This week she is the size of a small orange, about 4 inches long! She's moving a lot, and soon I should be able to feel it, which is amazing, and she may have even gotten the hiccups for the first time! When she gets bigger I'll be able to see my belly shake when she has the hiccups, which is apparently very common for babies.

Here is my belly as of tonight:

Week 13 (I got a little behind)

We're at trimester two! Itty biddy and I have made it through the first third of pregnancy and we're that much closer to meeting each other face to face. This past Wednesday Nathan and I heard the heartbeat for the first time. The strong, fast, healthy baby heartbeat that leads our doctor to believe that I am carrying a HEALTHY baby and that we are right where we need to be in development. Our next appointment isn't until week 16, so in the meantime I just have to keep eating (mostly) healthy, getting sleep, and avoiding the things that are dangerous for itty biddy.
Nathan and I have decided on the theme for the nursery, and it's gender neutral. Lion King animals! If we have a girl we'll make it girlier animals of course, but the carpet in the nursery is brown and the walls are pale yellow, so a lion king theme with baby lions, elephants, and other safari animals would be adorable. I got the first items for the baby as well. A tiger blanket and monkey rattle and blanket. They're so cute!

Nathan and I have been doing really well as well. Hearing the heartbeat made him really realize that he's going to be a dad and that I really am housing our baby. He looked like he was nearly in tears when he first heard the heartbeat.

Well I think that's about all I needed to update on, things just got a little crazy for the past month, moving to a new apartment, some financial distress, some future family insanity. Now things have finally returned to calm and normal and I can focus on school, nathan, and staying healthy for itty biddy =)
