At 15+ weeks, little baby is the size of an apple, about 4inches long, and weighs 3 ounces. While I've grown about 4 inches wider and 4-5 pounds, heavier! Honestly, up until two days ago, I was really bothered by the change in my body and the weight gain! How shallow and wrong is that!?! I think it's probably a normal thought for a first time pregnant lady to think about!?!?...... But it was really overwhelming and I desperately wanted to get over it and not think about it!!! It is so awful to be trapped in the chains of vanity. Especially when I should be thinking about the health and growth of our baby. Yesterday and today, and almost exactly at the turn into the second trimester I have peace about the whole body changing, weight gaining thang... I believe God is working on my heart too, in more ways that I can explain (not related to pregnancy), but He is opening the eyes of my heart and revealing my wickedness and need for His ways and His thoughts. The second trimester, for me, is really great. I have my energy back and no sickness. I feel like my old self, except prego! :) I am excited to get outside too, running and hiking, camping and such with the onset of warmer weather.
We haven't yet bought anything for the baby. And I am not in maternity clothes yet..... hoping to avoid buying any cold weather clothes:) My mom sent us some books for the baby which is very awesome. I am excited about reading to the little babe.
We have a second appointment on March 9th. We'll put up another picture soon!
Thanks for reading:)
Love ang
