Sprout is as big as a Navel Orange - 15 Weeks

So we figured it was about time we start a blog for those of our loved ones who are far away and can't see the progress that is the amazing Sprout.  But if you are close and want to read, please feel free ... but know that I will be probably be retelling you these stories when I see you so pretend you haven't heard them. 

In case we haven't made it clear to you yet, we are calling the baby Sprout as we are not finding out the gender til they are born.  Dave made this request and so far I've been fairly good about sticking with it ... time will tell as we get closer how much more difficult it will get!

We are officially 15 weeks today ... 1 week into our 2nd trimester.  It has been a fairly uncomplicated pregnancy so far - a few days of morning sickness, some back aches and above all extraordinary tiredness.  Acid reflux and heartburn have snuck up on me like you wouldn't believe in the last week or so but over all I feel great!

I honestly feel like Sprout just spread out this last week.  I finally look fairly good and pregnant.  I don't get the confused, hmm, do you have a beer gut or did you eat a big meal looks anymore.  As Shaena has pointed out, I've been getting the very cute "oh look its a pregnant belly" looks.  In case you feel you are missing out, don't worry!  Dave will be taking weekly side views of the belly so you'll feel more a part of the magnificence that is Sprout.

We've been packing and moving boxes to get ready for the actual move to our new place in Playa del Rey.  It is a fantastic 3 bdrm apartment about 1/2 mile to the beach.  We are in love with all the space and are so glad that the boys will finally have room to spread out!  This will also give Sprout plenty of places to play in as we plan on being here for a while!

So we have our August Dr appointment on Tuesday 08/17.  They will go over any issues with the tests we just took (if there are any ... which we are sure there are not!) and we will more than likely get to hear the heartbeat!  Yay!

Well that is it for our first post ... thank you for reading!
