First off, I posted below so make sure to check out the post below this for more updates since I posted them both today.

I'm 15 weeks now! Just today I think I 'popped!'. Check it out...



I'm feeling fine. The worst thing is I'm itching all over. Not really sure why. I don't have any hives, I just itch. My arms, legs, stomach, and more! It's weird!

I swore I have felt the baby on a few occasions moving around.

A little about being 15 weeks preggo from www.pregnancylounge.com:

This week of pregnancy, your baby is about 4- 4½ inches in length (crown-to-rump) and weighs a little over 2 ounces. Your baby can move around in the amniotic fluid and may feel like fluttering sensations or even a gas bubble to you. If you can't feel anything now, that's normal since most women don't notice any movements until closer to the 18th week. Eyebrows and eyelashes are present and the hair on your baby'’s head is getting thicker. Your baby's skin is still very thin and transparent, making the blood vessels underneath clearly visible. The development of your baby's genitals has been continuing and they are now nearing the point where they could be identified by ultrasound.

Your uterus is just popping up above the pubic bone. You are at a very in-between stage right now and your favorite pair of jeans may not fit anymore, especially around the waist. Your uterus is easily felt and your doctor or midwife will use its position to check the progress of your pregnancy, measuring the distance from the top of your pubic bone to the top of the fundus. Your breasts are already beginning to form colostrum in preparation for your baby's birth. Colostrum is the thin yellowish fluid that usually feeds your baby the first few days after birth- before your milk comes in, although some pregnant women may notice a little leaking out throughout their pregnancy, especially towards their due date.

Saturday was a lot of fun. We took Joey outside to get some fresh air because it was so nice outside for once! Joe and Joey decide to throw rocks. Joey decided to jump in a few puddles. The photos are so cute. You need to look below! Joey was being a little boy and having a blast! His boots were totally soaked afterwards but he was a happy boy!

Saturday afternoon was nice. We went to Joe's father's house and went on a nice walk outside. They have six 6 week old puppies - German Shepherd puppies and they are so cute! Joey was so good with them!! We then went and saw their cows. See the photos below. We had to go buy him these black rubber boots so he couldn't get his feet wet anymore. Silly boy!

On Monday we went to the allergist to get Joey allergy tested. Joe took off 1/2 a day with me because I didn't know what to expect. They tested Joey for milk, eggs, dust, mold, cats and dogs and he had about 8 scratches and he didn't even cry. I can't believe how good he was. He was good the entire time! Come to find out he's allergic to milk and eggs - but not cooked in something. Only like a cup of milk or a scrambled egg. So the dr. believes he will outgrow it. All I know is that regular milk makes him break out in hives all over his body. That is why he drinks soy. He likes soy so that works well for us!

After the allergy test we wanted to take him out for a hotdog at the local Coney Island but he yelled, 'PIZZA', so we found a pizza place down the street by recommendation of the receptionist and it was Uno Chicago Pizzaria and boy did they have awesome pizza. Joey got his own pizza and really liked it and he was so good at the restaurant too.

Joey missed his nap. He didn't sleep on the way home. When we got home Joe was freezing cold. Funny thing was it was like 60 degrees outside and 70 in the house. Joe told me he was really tired too. Thinking Joe was coming down with something, I told him to go to bed - it was only 5:15.

Then Joey fell asleep in his high chair at 5:30pm. I laid Joey down in his bed. He slept all night until the next morning. I couldn't believe it! We lost power for a little while. I guess a power line fell on a person's roof in our neighborhood and it took them 2 hours to restore it.

Wow, does Joey ever amaze me with his new words. Just today he recognized the ice cream place when we went by, the tractor store, he kept saying 'Ahoy Captain' from the wiggles, he learned to say 'draining' like if water is draining out of a cup, and when we got close to home, he said, 'almost home!'. Amazing!!!

Here are some photos from recently!
