Today we are 15 weeks and 4 days pregnant (hey, every little bit counts!)  I'm feeling less nauseous and less tired thank goodness.  My waistline is expanding but I don't feel I look "pregnant" yet, just like I may have had a large lunch.  No fetal movements yet.  From what I've heard, most first time moms don't feel the baby move until somewhere around week 20.  Cravings?  I haven't really had many cravings, just a few things I really, really like.  Early in my pregnancy I was eating avocados like crazy!  A whole avocado, diced up with some olive oil, salt, pepper and lime juice.  Yum-o!  Now I'm loving fruits, especially red grapes.  I believe this has something to do with the absent red wine in my life.  A bottle was always stocked and waiting for me when I got home from a rough day at work.  Oh, how I miss my red wine...  So red grapes are my baby-friendly alternative.

The Bump! 15 weeks

What about Dan?  These days he spends his workweek on Disney property working on the new hotel they're building.  He's consulted daily on the drawings and plans he came up with to make sure everything is in the right place and that it looks good too.  Of course every job comes with it's frustrations.  Especially when you're sharing an office in a trailer.  It's supposed to open sometime in March which is when the baby is due.  Who knows, maybe we'll have a babymoon if we get to try the new hotel out for the soft opening!

I've heard mom and dad talking about this new thing we're getting called a "baby".  When they talk about it I kind of tilt my head to the side like I understand what they're saying.  I don't really understand what's going on, I just know I look cute when I do the head tilt.  I still really enjoy cuddling up on Jess when we go to bed.  I love laying mostly on her stomach and digging my elbows in, which she says is going to have to stop soon.  Something about that baby thing we're getting.  The other day it was really nice outside and I just love laying in the sun.  When I get really excited I run big circles in the yard and bound through the flower bushes.  I came out with an accessory after a few laps around the yard.


Flowers in her hair

 With Love,
Jess and Dan
