15 Weeks!

I decided that I would start a baby blog...cliche as it may be! The majority of our family and friends live away from us so I figured this would be an easy way to keep everyone updated! I want to start off by thanking EVERYONE for being so supportive of Jason and I as we enter this incredible journey together. There are so many mixed emotions and we feel blessed to have all of you praying for us and our little "Peanut" as we refer to my belly! I will be posting belly pictures, must have items and random things I figure out in the next 6 months! Here's to a countdown to February 10! :)

As we thank God for this beautiful gift we have been reminded of many bible verses and I wanted to share a few that have been on my heart lately...

Behold, children are a gift of the LORD; The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They shall not be ashamed, When they speak with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 127:3-5

Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow. James 1:17

This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself ... Isaiah 44:24

How far along? 15 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 3.5 lbs
Maternity clothes? I have bought a few things but I have only worn my belly band! Can't button my jeans anymore :(
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Thankfully I have been sleeping well! As a matter of fact that's ALL I want to do! Right now I get up almost every night about 4am to use the bathroom! It's amazing how your body tries to prepare for the baby!
Best moment this week: It's a toss up between discovering Mama Mio Tummy Rub Butter (amazing!!!) and Jason and I disagreeing wholeheartedly on baby/"dog" names!
Miss Anything? My family :( As far as food/drink not at all! 
Movement: Jason claims he can feel something ... I'm not so sure I want to!
Food cravings: Anything sweet or terrible and containing no nutritional value whatsoever! Oh... and Chinese food
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not yet!
Have you started to show yet: Seems like all the sudden there's a baby bump!
Gender prediction: Girl
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On (well at least the one I have) We won't go there!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Finding out if we are having a boy or a girl!! We cannot wait! I honestly don't care but I am dying to know! We are also looking forward to starting on the nursery!


My next doctor's appointment is on Tuesday! We cant wait!!! Until then...That's all for now! Pictures and lots more posts to come!
