The last three weeks have been exciting and busy with company and new job trainings (more on this later!). My grandparents on my dad's side, Pete and Fanelle were in Denver and we were able to see them several times! Fanelle is incredibly talented at sewing and knitting beautiful clothes and blankets. She gave me two blankets for the new baby but I will only show a picture of one so that I don't give away the baby's gender ;)
My first baby gift! I can't wait to wrap our little one in this beautiful blanket!
Papaw Pete and Nana Fanelle. We are so blessed to have her in our family!
The next weekend, two of my best friends from high school, Megan and Sara came to Denver for a visit. It was so wonderful to have my friends with me an entire weekend. The first night they were in town we stayed up till 2 am talking and I loved every minute of it. The next day Sara and Megan went to Boulder to visit Megan's cousin and I had to go to a training for work. We then headed to dinner at the Ale house in the Highlands area of Denver. Dinner was delicious and the view was phenomenal! After dinner we headed to Blake Street Tavern to watch the Ole Miss vs. Texas game.
Awesome view of the Denver skyline from the roof top patio
We enjoyed our lobster mac and cheese!
Hotty Toddy!
The game was a disappointment but we had a great time in downtown Denver. The next day we went to Golden and explored around town after stopping at Starbucks for a Pumpkin Spice latte! We had lunch at The Golden Hotel restaurant and it was delicious.
I love these girls so much!
Golden is beautiful!
He is so sweet :)
Our last stop was at the red rocks
It was such a fun weekend and I can't wait till I get to see Megan and Sara again! A lot has happened with the little one too! Here are some updates.
The little one is now the size of a turnip
This picture was taken at 15 weeks. Not much of a change yet but my tummy is definitely growing!
How far along: 16 weeks and 2 days
Baby's size: Everything I read says the little bean is no longer the size of a bean but more like a turnip! Baby is measuring about 5 inches crown to rump and 5 ounces.
Sleep: I'm up every 2-4 hours, things probably
won't be changing for quite some time ;)
Maternity Clothes: I bought some maternity clothes so I'm ready but not wearing any although my jean selection is getting very limited :) The rubber band trick has come in handy!
Food cravings: Marshmallows...I know weird! I have 3 bags of them in my pantry and I have been enjoying a marshmallow after each meal :) My favorite are the new pumpkin spice marshmallows! Michael says he is not a fan of my choice of dessert ha!
Food aversions: None
Symptoms I have: None. I have been incredibly lucky my entire pregnancy. I have a stuffy nose every now and then but I don't think the baby is to blame :)
Doctor’s Appointment: I had an appointment today with my new Dr. and I loved her! She is so calm and collected which is a huge difference from my last Dr. She did the doppler and found the baby's heart beat which was the most amazing sound to hear :) I will have another appointment in 4 weeks and the anatomy ultrasound!
Movement: Thought I was feeling some movement over the past week but it was not until yesterday that I knew it was the baby for sure. Last night around 1am the little sweat pea was having a party in my belly. This is an amazing and weird feeling all at the same time.
Belly Button: Innie and I hope it stays that way.
Gender: ?? We find out in 4 weeks!
What I’m looking forward to: Finding out who this little one is and of course having this
little one in my arms!
What I miss: Sleep...I have a feeling this is not going to change for many many years but it is totally worth it!
