Full Speed Ahead & Crash

Has it really been a month since I've posted?!?
Life happened I guess...


we're 15 weeks in, only 24 weeks to go!


I was telling a friend the other day that i'm at a weird middle ground of the pregnancy: the excitement has passed and there's nobody left to tell (of course i'm still so excited, but just the initial shock and kind of excitement that makes you giggle like a 5 year old has passed)... and i can't feel the baby yet.  i do have a growing tummy that reminds me every day, but i feel like until i feel that little flutter i'm just sitting around waiting.  


i rented a fetal doppler! it's been amazing to be able to listen to the heart any time i want! since i can't feel the baby yet i sometimes get worried, but now i can reassure myself that everything is a-ok! i just checked and the heart rate was 160 from what i could count (it's so fast that i almost can't keep up in counting)


i'm beginning to get my energy back, but it's in spurts.  today i had so much energy and it was beautiful outside.  i left work early and came home with full intentions of working in the yard.  i wanted to rake all the leaves in the front yard and the flower bed.  i literally got half way through moving the leaves from the flower bed onto the driveway.  went inside to get a drink and fell asleep... of course never picking up where i left off!! *sigh* the problem is when i get a little energy, i go full speed ahead and just crash! 


so, what else... jordan and i have an appointment at A Glimpse Before & After on jordan's birthday (April 10) and we're going to get to find out the sex of the baby for sure... I have a feeling it's a girl, but who knows! I'm so anxious to find out for sure so we can start the nursery and our registry!!! so exciting! 
I hope i get the chance, or more accurately, i hope i think to post before then, but if I don't I definately will soon after to let you all know what this little thing growing inside of me is!!
