Cravings: none - still have aversion to coffee
Maternity Clothes: few more pieces 
Symptoms: starting to get up a lot at night to pee and get comfortable
Best moment this week: hearing heartbeat! 152  
Looking forward to: finding out gender next weekend!!

15 weeks

15 weeks and growing!  I still don't have the cute "bump" yet, but my tummy (and butt, boobs and legs) are growing.  I had Claire take the 15 week bump and I'm really not a fan of the tummy shots anymore....especially since I am bigger with #3, than I was with them!


Claire gave baby a kiss :)
15 weeks


Total Weight Gain: 8 lbs
Maternity Clothes: a few 

Cravings: None!  I went from having some many aversions, to only like an egg and muenster cheese sesame bagel from Brueggers, to being ok with most foods!  I still have not drank coffee from home. The smell still bothers me.  I do, however, love the new Chestnut Praline Latte from Starbucks!

Symptoms: Still getting headaches, but I am starting to think it is from lack of caffeine.  The no caffeine did not bother me at first, but once i added the random starbucks lattes, the headaches started.... I think 

Really looking forward to my next doctor's appointment next Monday.  I feel like I haven't heard it's heartbeat in forever (it's only been 3 weeks)...but since being off all my hormone meds (14 weeks) I get nervous/anxious that something will go wrong.

14 weeks

As I was looking back at My Pregnancy Journal while I was pregnant with Max and Claire, I noticed 14 weeks was when I started documenting my "bump".  I am already bigger with one baby then I was with Max and Claire at 14 weeks.  My friends that have had two pregnancies say this is normal...

14 weeks with #3
14 weeks Max and Claire
Ugly pjs in both ;)

Total Weight Gain: 8 lbs
Maternity Clothes:  Started wearing a few pants this week.  Shirts still too big
Cravings: Vanialla Chex cereal
Symptoms: Just started getting daily headaches.  Usually starts around 2pm


You can see my baby bump the best first thing in the morning while laying down.   Max and Claire are finally starting to believe I have a baby in my tummy!  I can't wait to feel he/she move!  As of right now, both kids want a brother.  Claire says she wants to be the only girl/sister!!

----------------------------

Today, Justin and I went to look at lots to build on.  #3 means bigger house!  We had a really good day.  We drove around looking at houses and the lot that we may be buying Monday!  Plan to buy lot now, but not build until we sell our house (probably in spring/early summer 2015).

lot for new house!
House Justin and I both love!
I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time on Pinterest ;)

First Trophy!

Last Sunday was Max's last soccer practice/game.  He seems to have really enjoyed this season of organized chaos ;)

At the end of the game all the kids got a trophy.  They all had the biggest grins when their name was called!

Buds scoring a goal!


It was a very chilly last game! 48 and windy!


So proud!

Halloween Festivities

This past week has been full of Halloween fun!  Max and Claire have enough candy to last the year!  Last Sunday, we had a dinner at Starmount Country Club followed by haunted "house" and hayride.


Max was the Red Power Ranger (only bc they didn't have his size in spiderman!) and Claire was a Mermaid.

Wednesday they went to the trunk or treat at their school.  I can't remember the last time I went to a trunk or treat - it was really cool!  There were some very creative trunks!  This night Claire decided she wanted to be a cheerleader.  I think it was a lot more comfortable then the mermaid costume.






Thursday their school had a Halloween parade.  The kids looked so cute in their costumes!
3yr old class
Lastly, Halloween night!  We went over to the Gill's house - ate, kids played in bounce house, then hit the streets for some trick or treating!





They had so much fun with their friends!

Today I " bought" their candy from them.  Told them I would buy them a small toy from Target if I could have all their candy.  Justin will take it to his work.  They don't need that much sugar and I don't need to be tempted ;)
