15 weeks

Not much new to report today. I've been sick for a few days now, and even though I've started to feel better i decided to take a sick day from work today. Nathan got home from his golf trip early Sunday morning, and has today (Columbus Day) as a holiday, so i thought it was a good time to call in sick.

We went pumpkin picking today which I've been looking forward to doing since probably September now! The weather has been great, and today it's 77 degrees and sunny out. Nathan always insists on having the largest pumpkin he can pick and actually carry to the car. This year he chose one that weighed in at 48.8 pounds.

Here's a picture of it on our porch (with the dogs looking out - it's their favorite spot):

We also got a really cute gift in the mail this week from my in-laws for our lawn. It was our Happy One year in our house gift:

I hit the 15 week mark this past Friday, which makes me 15 weeks and 3 days today. Here's my picture that was taken last night. We actually almost forgot - so i apologize but I'm in my sweats and a t-shirt with old paint stains on it:

Other than that, nothing else. I have my next appointment one week from tomorrow. I'm preparing myself for the whole doppler experience again. I pray every night that it won't be an issue again since i know it will scare the crap out of me. I'm trying to think positive. I also still don't feel consistent movement from the baby. I know it's completely normal to not feel anything at all until around 18 to 21 weeks - and even then it won't necessarily be consistent. I do feel him/her once in a while which always makes me smile when i do. I'm just being grateful that i get to feel the baby as early as i have.

I made brownies last night which are delicious...especially with a glass of milk. I've also taken a liking to blow pops which is fantastic since that only means my teeth should be rotting out of my head by the end of this pregnancy.

That's it for now. If i feel creative between now and the next picture I'll write...but that doesn't strike me very often!
