16 weeks and Chamberlain Fun

Memorial weekend was a fun weekend had by all!  Brian and I sent the kids out to Chamberlain on Thursday with aunt Amber and stayed in Sioux Falls until Sunday morning when we headed out west to be reunited.  The kids had a ball feeding cows, playing outside and going boating.  They were pretty sad to go home.  Here are some pics from the weekend and a 16 week picture. 

15 weeks

15 weeks is here already.  I think I might have started to feel some flutters this week, but not quite for sure.  Although when I did feel it, it made me very excited.  It also made me remember that I am pregnant.  This whole time, I've been so focused on how crappy I feel that I think I forgot that I am actually pregnant!  This is actually happening! 

Here is the 15 week photo.  I swear to you, my belly is not this big in the mornings.  It slowly lets out throughout the day and at night I look very much pregnant.  It probably doesn't help that I sit at my desk and eat Cheddar and Sour Cream chips ALL DAY LONG.  It makes me very happy, so I do it.  I'm on my 3rd bag in a week and don't even care!! 


The countdown is still on, even though Karen has pointed out that it is too long of a countdown.  172 days left, 39% done with this pregnancy already!  32 days until halfway and the ultrasound! 

13 and 14 weeks

Time to start up with weekly photos again!  I like to look back to my pregnancies with Sydney and Keegan and compare where I am at belly-wise and I have a feeling it isn't going to be good the 3rd time around!  I think things are escalating a little more quickly this time around, which I have heard to be true of the 3rd baby. 


Here is my 13 week photo. 

Here is the 14 week photo.  Somehow, in the span of just 7 days, my pants no longer zip!  Gotta bust out the bella band and wash the maternity clothes.  For now I'm just leaving them unzipped and wearing flowy shirts. 

Overall, things are settling down and returning to normal.  I am still taking nausea meds every night but am starting to question if I still need to.  I feel good most of the time, there are a few nights here and there that I feel nauseous and gross but those are starting to be more infrequent. 


The countdown is ON!  180 days and counting (36% done!) until we meet Baby R #3 (the Grand Finale!)
