Week 15 Update with Bump Photo

Week 15 Baby Bump

My week in summary... 

How far along: 15 weeks

Baby's size: An orange.

Sleep: Good. Except for the fact that in New Jersey the sun is up at 5:30 am, so I didn't get much sleep while I was there.

Maternity Clothes: Yes, lots of non-maternity dresses still. Also got my first pair of maternity jeans, and I must say I am in LOVE. Picked up some maternity tanks from Macy's in NJ for $6.99.

Food cravings: WATER!

Food aversions: None.

Symptoms I have: When I stand for too long I get some minor leg and lower back discomfort. Also when I wake up in the morning my back seems a little out of wack.

Doctor’s Appointment: July 12. Tomorrow!

Movement: YES! What I thought might be movement before, is definitely movement now! It is not all the time, or super powerful, but if I sit still long enough I can feel Baby Mac fluttering around in there. Very cool.

Belly Button: Innie.

Gender: Unknown - I'm STILL convinced it's a girl though.

What I’m looking forward to: Picking a name. So far husband & I are worlds apart.

What I miss: I was super homesick while away. Glad to be home!






Another update to come soon, sorry this week was so late! Dr. appointment tomorrow, and week 16 starts Friday!

4th of July Weekend New Jersey Photos

I flew to New Jersey July 4th to see my grandpa who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I wasn't too keen on flying at all during the pregnancy, but he most likely only has a few more months and I was very glad I got to go and see him. 

I flew from Ft. Myers to Newark, and in both airports they use the new "full body" scanners. After researching the pro's and con's I decided that I would NOT be going through. In Ft. Myers I requested a pat down, and the TSA was very accommodating. I did not feel that it was invasive in any way. I realize many people have had negative experiences with the airport security, so I feel fortunate in this regard. When we went through security in Newark they had the option of the full body scan, or simply walking through a metal detector, so I chose the latter.

To save money I opted not to check a bag (additional $50 with United), and for the first time in my life got everything into a carry on. It helps that most of what I'm wearing at this point is sundresses.

Here are some photo's from my trip....
