Fifteen Weeks

We're officially in the 2nd trimester (that might have been last week, but who's counting!).  Let's see, what has happened since our last update.  We went back in for the NT ultrasound since you weren't big enough the last time.  You're still measuring a bit behind the Dec 22 due date, but they say early U/S are hard because you're all curled up!  Speaking of curled up, you made it hard for them to get the right measurements.  So, we had to see the doctor then try again.  I think it worked that time.  We got to see your little profile again and you were sucking on your hand.  Your dad thought he saw something that would indicate your sex, but I think it was just wishful thinking ;)  You're getting bigger and its starting to show on Mom.  Played tennis again this weekend (thanks to good scheduling we didn't have to play in the heat of the day) and definitely was showing a little bump in my top.  I've been back to the gym a bit and with tennis, averaging about 4 days of activity.  I'm still REALLY tired.  I am not sure when you'll stop sucking all my energy.   Some of Mom's friends indicate it will be a long while!  Hopefully I'll get some back because we have lots to do to get ready for your arrival.  I had my first experience of heartburn...yikes.  Pasta sauce.  Guess you don't like the tomatoes so much.  I've started to take a zantac before eating anything with tomatoes and hopefully that will help.  I think this is a little early for you to not like what I eat ;)  Otherwise things are going great!  Still feeling pretty good.  I tend to wear dresses (perfect for the hot weather) or elastic banded workout pants.  These are most comfortable.  Still no maternity clothes, but I am not sure how long that will last since I have to go to work for a week this month!  Keep on growing little one!  We're excited to meet you in less than 6 months ;)

And a photo for record keeping.  Your big brother B wanted some attention :)  (Doesn't look as big as the 11 week shot.  This was before bed.  I was dressed since your dad took me out to dinner - that's another post - but I was too tired to wait in it until the camera battery charged.  Your dad also mentioned he thinks my a** is getting bigger....I don't think so...)
