15 weeks!

Ok I have to think what has happened this week? Well, I went this morning to get my blood drawn for the second half of my chromosome screening. Glad that is now done.

I realized this morning that I will be buying more maternity clothes than originally planned because I hate wearing this belly band thing! Last week I bought a pair of work pants that are larger than my pre-pregnancy size that I could wear for now. I also thought it would be good to buy 2 pairs of maternity work pants that could grow with me. Well, I need to get one of the pairs hemmed because I am too short and the other pair are capris because I thought it was summertime, turns out I jumped the gun because it has been raining and like 50 degrees for the past 4 days. So anyway, I was left with the only option of wearing some of my pre-pregnancy pants this morning and using the belly band. Let me tell you, if you had (like myself) a bit of a belly before pregnancy and now have a bigger belly 15 weeks into pregnancy, the belly band is not a good option, especially when you sit at a desk a lot. I feel fine when I am standing but as soon as I sit down I feel like a whale! I can tell that my pants are fully unbuttoned and unzipped and it feels like my gut is just exploding out there for everyone to see. Wearing the maternity pants, even this early on is a much better option for me, then even help hold in my belly a little. That was kind of a rant, sorry. Obviously feeling fat today!

What else? Oh yeah, Frank is still in Singapore. He returns tomorrow night really late. I am excited to see him. Being pregnant I find that I cry even easier than before. It has been hard missing him at night, sometimes I would cry but I know it is just the hormones! So with him being gone still I do not have a photo to post today. I’m sure he will want to take one on Thursday so maybe I will post later.

We have decided that we will do a gender reveal on June 15th which is also the day that my grandparents are throwing us a summer party/late reception to celebrate the fact that we got married in December last year. It is important to her that everyone get to celebrate with us because we did not tell anyone at the time and just went to the courthouse. So that will be fun! We were thinking it would be great because most of our closest friends will be there. We will fill a box with pink or blue balloons and then open it in front of everyone. We might even set up a little guessing table where everyone can tell us what they think the gender will be. Yay! Just about a month away, wish it was sooner.

One last thing, I am so glad that I started this blog! I just looked the other day and we have had over 500 views! I would have never thought anyone would care to read it but I love it. I love that I can look back at the steps and share it with friends and anyone that cares to know about what week by week IVF and pregnancy after IVF is like, at least for me!
