15 Weeks & Reveal!

      15 Comments on 15 Weeks & Reveal!

This week’s update is super delayed. But I decided to take some vacation days and do a little staycation this week, so I’ve been enjoying that.

I have REALLY been wanting a pool this summer. I’m not sure why, I’m guessing that because I’m always hotter than normal because of pregnancy has something to do with it, or because I don’t have access to any pools makes it like a forbidden fruit, but I finally decided to do something about it.  I found a cheap hotel in the suburbs with an outdoor pool and booked myself a night away. It felt like a luxurious five-star getaway.

I even bought a $5 pool float from Target that was worth every penny!

I realized that I wanted a pool and to be in someplace that wasn’t my house. It really did the trick. I relaxed, got takeout, enjoyed the pool, slept in. It was perfect! And less than $100 for the room!

Since I was in the burbs, my sister met me out to go baby shopping so I could finish my registry. I think it’s all but complete, so I’ll share the links soon, for those of you who have asked.

This week 3BB is the size of a pear. 

Side effects are starting to subside. I don’t need naps every day. The gagging and barfing when I brush my teeth is not nearly as bad. I stil have bouts of nausea, but it isn’t constant or every day. Food aversions and cravings are still ever-present. This week’s very specific craving was rice pilaf. So I searched around for it and got it and it was exactly what I wanted. 

My belly is still just looking bloated. Clothes still fit, although I noticed the other day that my belly is starting to push the zippers down on my shorts. 

I’m really looking forward to slightly cooler weather and some moderate humidity levels. I feel like this oppressively humid air makes it hard for me to breathe. Since I just get winded from taking 10 steps these days. I can’t imagine what it will be like when I’m closer to full term.

If you’ve gotten this far, I know you’re waiting to find out the sex of 3BB. In fact, I’ve known for some time and I can’t believe I haven’t slipped yet!

I bought a mega cupcake from a local bakery here in Chicago, Molly’s. They do filled cupcakes and if you’re ever in Chicago (or NYC, Iowa City or Cincinnati) and want a REALLY good cupcake, I highly suggest Molly’s. They are SO good. 

And finally, without further ado…..

 

So there you have it! And I bought 3BB her first onesies. And I got my first baby gift from my friends Betsey & Matt who gave me a baby blanket with little Minnesotas on it! I can’t believe in 25 weeks I’m going to have a little baby that fits into those tiny onesies!

    OMG OMG OMG OMG A GIIIIIIRRRRRRLLLLLLL YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!

    Finding out the sex is when the Naming Discussions took off in our house (we figured, why argue about 2 sets of names when we didn’t need to??) –> and holy cow I hadn’t thought about doing this part solo. I can’t tell if I’m super jealous you get full control over the naming process, or whether I’d be totally lost without someone else to validate / reassure me about the choice, ha!

    I loved picking girls names – I feel like there are so many amazing and beautiful ones out there!

    YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY GIIIRRRRRRLLLLL!!!!! <3 <3 <3

    My daughter is not at all the girl I expected, but she is a thousand times better than I ever knew to imagine. I wish you just as joyful a ride! ♥️
