Baby Bump Watch, week 15

Week 15 has brought about a major change in my baby bump. My belly has popped, and it's pretty obvious to folks--other than just Trent and me--that I'm pregnant. I love it! I never thought I'd be so excited to see my belly grow, but it's the most amazing experience.

I made a promise to myself from day one that I was going to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy, and I'm definitely doing so. I love it. Although my first trimester was plagued with all-day sickness, I didn't mind it. I kept telling myself it was a good sign, and it meant the baby was healthy and my body was doing its job. I even became a napper, much to Trent's delight :)

So far, the second trimester has been a breeze. The nausea has subsided and my energy level has increased. I feel incredible, and I'm grateful for this symptom-free time.

I bought a body pillow last night, which Trent and I have named Kent Fuldrow. Kent takes up more bed space than Trent and me combined so it may be necessary to downsize to a smaller pillow. I'm a dedicated back sleeper so the transition to sleeping on my side continues to be a slow process. I start out on my side, but I always wake up on my back, even with Kent by my side.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! Trent and I are busy bees this holiday season. We're heading to visit family in Manning, Mt. Airy and Mullins over the next week and a half. We're also squeezing in some time to see our baby on the big screen at Dr. Keeton's office next Wednesday. This is the big appointment where we'll find out if Baby Muldrow is a boy or a girl. Can't wait!

Wishing you the happiest holiday season ever!

Much love,
Jamie & Trent
