I hardly dare to write this (after all, I wrote my autumn post and then it was a ridiculous 96 degrees today!!), but I think some of my energy has returned. Yes, I still wake up tired most mornings, and I could still easily nap at almost any given time, and I still find myself falling asleep on the couch by a certain time each evening... but at least I don't feel the same sort of mind-numbing dysfunctional exhaustion as before. And for that, I am VERY grateful, and I mean to make the most of whatever energy God chooses to send my way! I'm still getting nauseated pretty regularly, and I even threw up this morning (so weird, since I'm not usually a puker), but I'm hopeful that will be gone soon too. And until it is, I'll just keep eating constantly, since it seems to help. Might as well pack on some more pounds. :)
It's odd, but it still seems a little unreal that we are actually going to have a baby. I don't think I've quite grasped that fact yet and let it really sink in. But, yesterday, for the first time, I am almost SURE that I felt the baby kick. I've had flutterings before, but I've never been able to tell for sure if it was Baby or not. Yesterday's movement felt much more definite, much more baby-ish. I've been looking forward so much to getting to feel the baby kick and move. It will really help to bring some sweet reality to the fact that another little one is getting ready to join our family.
Without any further blabbing from me, here are the 15-week belly shots:
Maybe one of these days you'll get to see a picture of me where my hair is ACTUALLY done. I promise, some days I really don't just pull it back...One other really cool thing about how fast the time is flying by is that it means other babies are about to make their appearances! Lisa may very well be in labor as I write, and little Jillian will be here VERY soon... who knows! And my dear friend Stacie will be welcoming her Lucy in LESS than a week!! Oh, I am SO excited to meet these new little girls (as well as the other little girls who are just a bit further down the road), and pray all the best for their sweet mamas as the time draws near.

you look fantastic. EAT UP! Seriously!
So cool that you felt the baby move. That was always my most favorite thing in the whole world. There is just nothing else on earth like it. I remember driving in my car alone sometimes. And I would feel the baby kick. And I was say "It's just you and me kid". Such a wonderful feeling. Cant' wait til your ultrasound. I know that you will be the perfect family for whatever God gives you!
Oh yay! You're starting to pop! I can't wait to find out what you are having!
I didn't even realize how many of us are having girls until you wrote that, wow!
Wait, you're PREGNANT?!?! When were you gonna tell ME?
:oP

Love me. <3
You look amazing! I can't believe you're already 15 weeks! That went by so quickly. I'm glad you got to feel the baby moving!!! That's probably my favorite part of pregnancy. You threw up???? OH- I'm so sorry. I can totally relate... I STILL get sick about once or twice a week. Oh well. Can't wait to find out if you're going to need PINK or BLUE!!
i am SO incredibly anxious to find out if i get another niece or nephew. seriously. either way though i'm gonna love this baby. you're such a cute pregnant thing.
I feel the same way. It does not seem possible that this pregnancy is more than half over and there will be a real, warm, cuddly, noisy, life-altering baby here soon :-) Congratulations again - you look adorable!

You really do look amazing Talia! Your hair back is a good look for you, too! You're one that doesn't gain any weight but the belly huh? I suppose you don't have to answer that, that's an awkward question lol. I'm so SOOOO sorry you've been nauseated.
And I got to touch the belly!!!
