Baby Bump Update: 15 weeks

The excitement of the summer here at the Butler Castle:

Now that everyone knows I thought it was safe to start weekly updates on the blog.  I've not been too great about journaling so I hope this helps me record all of the special moments.  I'm going to start with this week and then do another post or two with pictures and details from the previous weeks!


Due Date: January 30, 2014
Gender:  Not sure…5 more weeks until we can find out. Almost everyone seems to think it’s a girl.
Movement:  Yesterday (15 weeks, 2 days) I was laying on the bed on my side and definitely felt a little movement for a minute or two.  I have no doubt it was the baby!
Feeling:  Better overall but still tired
Food Cravings: French fries
Food Aversions: Nothing specific
Clothes:  I finally got some maternity clothes for work this week so I can wear more than the 3 or 4 dresses and skirts I already had that were loose enough to still be comfortable
Stretch Marks:  No…fingers crossed it stays that way
Sleep:  Good – usually get up once during the night to go to the bathroom.  Mainly sleeping on my left side
Symptoms: Lack of energy…I’m still waiting for that 2^nd semester energy boost I’ve been told about.  Starting to think it’s a myth! 
What I Miss: Hot dogs!
Wedding Rings on or off?  On
Looking forward to:  Our doctor’s appointment this week
Best Moment:  Feeling the little one move!
