15 weeks

So I have realized that it is getting harder and harder to update every week! Between work, our busy schedule and needing rest I can't promise that I will update every week. Not much had changed during week 14 so I didn't feel the need to make a repetitive post :) 

Now we are 15 weeks and baby (and mommas belly) are growing & growing! I jokingly say a lot that I don't know how my belly is going to get any bigger! It already just feels like it's going to pop. It's definitely different going through all the body changes but I'm reminded by this growing belly that there's a little life inside me that God has entrusted Blake and I with and then I'm thankful that my pants no longer button! (I never thought I'd say that) 

But with all that to say, here's a little bumpdate!

How far along? 15 weeks tomorrow!

Sleep? I hardly sleep through the night anymore. I'm a belly sleeper so it has been hard to adjust to sleeping on my side!

Symptoms? Well, I thought my morning sickness went away. I was wrong. It's still around but not as full force as it was. 

Cravings? More recently it has been sweet stuff, to my surprise. Fruit and sherbet. 

Miss anything? Sleep for the most part. This past week was rough but I'm praying for a better week! 

Gender? We find out in August! Still almost positive it's a boy, but I'm feeling like we might be surprised with a little girl!

Names? We decided that we will announce the name when we announce the gender. 5 more weeks!

What you're looking forward to: Meeting our sweet little nugget. We still have a long way to go but are so anxious to hold our baby!

Verse you're leaning on this week: 2 Chronicles 20:12. I was flipping through my bible this past week and while looking for where I was at in my quiet time I stumbled upon this page that was marked with a little page flag that I didn't remember putting there. So I stopped and started reading and it was exactly what I needed. Funny how God does that. The verse that stood out to me specifically says "Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you." This past week was harder physically than the others, I was sick everyday and most nights, I wasn't sleeping well and was just a little discouraged. I came across this and it reminded me that I'm not always going to have an answer, this sickness might not go away, I'm probably not going to sleep well for the next 5 or so months, but I need to keep my eyes on Jesus. He is protecting me and this sweet baby and I have to trust His plan, it's far better than anything I could come up with!

Have a wonderful week!
