Week 15

wow, I love how quick this is starting to go! well, this week has seen the birth of the much bigger and constant bump, lots of stretching pains, and like 5 million trips to the bathroom a day. Seriously, I have to pee like EVERY HOUR!!! lol, it's pretty funny though.. I have no idea when I'll finally get used to it! Another odd thing that has been going on the last few days is really crappy dreams. And then waking in the middle of the night and taking another three hours to fall back asleep. They say that this is common and should go away in a week or two. I can't wait! But honestly, if this is as bad as I get it... I'm getting off EASY!

oh! we also went and did the registry at Target (going to do one more at Walmart so people have options) and that has definitely helped me feel a bit more accomplished in the planning part. Also got the birth plan all in order!

As far as baby goes, "she's" moving around a bit, but more stretching than anything else lately. We've started playing sounds for her and we're going to put some music on an MP3 player today and start doing the headphones thing. :)
