Week 15 is here-whoot whoot holler! 
The little darlings are now the size of apples and are moving around in there. I swear I’ve been feeling little flutters here and there for a while now. Everything I read says I should not be able to; however little flutters that come and go spontaneously have to be my little apples kicking around.
Sex and Research:
So I was reading an email I received regarding if you should find out the sex or just wait. It was comparing it to opening your Christmas presents early. As I was reading I was like hell yah I’m opening early just like when we were kids. Alissa and I would open and re tape those gifts after we would check out the goods. I’m currently the kid who can’t wait since I ask the doctors every ultra sound what we are having. I think it’s harder on my waiting skills because we get so many ultrasounds.
On Saturday after the game Paige was trying to pry the info out of TB. She asked him multiple times if he knew if I had a “P” or a “V” inside of me. TB was very good at keeping a poker face when she would trick him back and forth with a series of questions on if it was a P and V, a V and V, or a P and P. I found it to be quite entertaining. Most of the feedback I’ve been given is that I have two “V’s” inside.
Research has been my middle name this week. I’ve been looking at all the gear and have realized babies have a lot of shiznit. I hate clutter yet I don’t mind some clothes in the floor so my goal is to minimize all the gadgets and be a “minimalist momma” We shall see if I can accomplish this task.
Ode to thy button:
It once was something I’ve never paid much attention to until now. This little round lint collector which has been ignored for 33 years is now catching my attention multiple times throughout the day. I’ve always heard about you getting an outty when prego; however I have never thought twice about it stretching out as much as mine has already. This little tiny belly button at one time you could barely put your finger in has now stretched out to size of TB’s eye ball. I’m enamored by this change that pregnancy has brought on. I have somewhat neglected it with the lotions and creams and have now after seeing some stretch marks have realized it needs it’s own attention.
Health:
I’ve decided that pregnancy is a lot like aging. You have lots of aches and pains that you sometimes get caught up in. I see a lot of elderly people and when I ask how they are doing instead of I’m doing well I hear about all the aches, pains, gas, heartburn, etc. It’s really quite annoying and uninteresting to be frank. So with that being said my plan going forward is to be cautious of discussing my heartburn, lower back aches, lack of sleep, calf aches, and abdominal aches.
As always thank you for your kind words, thoughts, prayers, and support. Our goal is 36 weeks for healthy strong babies and a strong uterus.
Mother Hen and Foxy Father to Be
How your baby's growing:
Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.")
