Week 15

I can't say a whole lot has changed from last week.  I still can't believe that we are already at 15 weeks.  Where has the time gone?!  I'm still feeling really good.  Sleep is getting a bit difficult/uncomfortable but isn't anything to complain about quite yet.  Otherwise my energy level is sky high and I am just itching to accomplish all these little tasks around the house.  I'm probably driving Josh nuts with my requests for him to sort through things and do this or that.

I'm only up 1.5 lbs so maternity clothes aren't really necessary quite yet.  My jeans no longer fit comfortably but luckily I've always been more a skirt and dress girl (at least here in Kenya).  I did buy a few maternity tops and shorts but in no way am filling them out yet.  I tried wearing the shorts yesterday and had the hardest time keeping them up!

My appetite is definitely increasing as I feel like this little one is just sucking everything away from me.  I find myself looking for a small snack about every 4 hours or so.  Nuts have been my best friend and I love grabbing a handful.  I'm also loving me some mango.  Its going to be hard leaving here and not having a steady supply of it.  I think I may be a little lacking in the iron department as well, as red meat has sounded more and more appealing this week.  Case in point: I'm making Thai steak for lunch today!

Right now I am most looking forward to seeing this little one again and hopefully finding out if we're having a little boy or girl.  Not that it doesn't feel real right now but in a way it doesn't.  I'm ready to start thinking about names and looking for some baby things.  We're kind of putting that all off till we get back to the states and this week I'm feeling a bit anxious for that time to begin!  Once we start this process and maybe after Baby Bast starts kicking it will all start to set in.  :)

Looking forward to when that bump becomes a true belly !
