I'm still waiting on the burst of energy I've been told will come with the second trimester.  I feel almost back to normal besides the growing belly.  I would kill for some caffeine and a cold turkey sandwich.  We're weeks away from finding out what we're having.  Jason really wants a boy.  He sees his son playing baseball for the Cardinals and winning championships.  Sure.  That will happen.  I don't really care either way.  I think our families are more anxious than I am at this point to find out the gender. 

I've been super busy with different sewing projects lately.  I've been making skirts, bags, and dining room seat covers.  Baby D is growing bigger every day (and so is her/his mom).   I'm not wearing maternity clothes yet, but definitely starting to look pregnant.  Here's a little bit of what's been consuming my time:

And last but not least, the weekly belly picture:

I didn't realize how much caffeine I consumed each day until I wasn't able to have any (or very little).  I saw the ad announcing the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte and was suddenly very bummed out.  In the fall, I would usually have multiple Pumpkin Spice Lattes in a week.  This doesn't even count the amount of iced or hot tea I would drink each day.

I'm 15 weeks this week and I miss coffee and sushi the most....but mainly coffee....and multiple iced teas in a day.  I'm not in maternity clothes yet, but definitely starting to look chubby.

My Labor Day was pretty uneventful.  Jason and I drove out to Chuck's Boots to get Jason a new pair of work shoes.  I could have spent a lot of money on boots...for myself.

We spent the rest of the afternoon in the backyard on the new swing my dad made for us.

In baby news, I'm officially 14 weeks and that horrible first trimester is officially over.  I've been feeling so much better.  While I'm not wearing maternity clothes yet, I've been scouting them out online.
