Week 15 Belly Shot

15 weeks already! It seems like this pregnancy is taking forever, but then I think back and realize how fast it has gone. I am reminding myself daily to appreciate these weeks and to take time to enjoy them...especially since I am fortunate enough to feel so awesome that I truly can enjoy these days. I'm just getting really anxious to feel the baby move, and to know for sure that that is what is happening. There have been several times now when I wonder if that's what I was feeling, because it felt a lot different than typical gas. Only time will tell, I guess!

Please excuse the blurriness of this picture. We desperately need a new camera because this is one of the best ones we could get. I am embarrassed to even put this up. I don't feel as big as I look in this picture, maybe I was just bloated in this picture (which I didn't feel like I was when I took it - I always take these in the morning so I'm not extra bloated). Anyways, here is the 15 week belly shot!

I had been eyeing a Carter's outlet everyday on my way to work this past week, so yesterday after a long weekend of working, I decided I was going to stop since I could actually make it there before they closed for once. I wasn't sure what to expect, but turns out that store is amazing, quite large, and had tons of great sales going on. I went straight back to the clearance section and got a lot of great clothes for Baby for what I thought were steals. They also have an OshKosh B'Gosh store that I was planning to stop at, but after walking out of Carter's with more than enough, I called it an evening so hubby wouldn't get too upset. I still have it all laying out on the floor in Baby's room because I love to go in there and think about how cute he/she is going to look in all of the new gear. :) I have officially found my new favorite store!

Up until that shopping trip I had been guarding my heart just a little bit because we weren't 100% positive what baby was and I didn't want to get too set on what we thought he/she was. But it's official, my heart is too excited, and I need to know for sure sooner than later. I did make sure to ask what their return policy was, and as long as it has the tags on still you can return it with or without a receipt. Perfect, and just what I needed to hear! Hoping we can get another peek sometime here in the near future so we can be 100% positive.

We are contemplating some pretty big decisions right now, and praying that we can make the best decisions for what's right at the right time. It's hard not to get anxious and worry about the future, but we are trusting in a God whose plan is bigger than ours and that what is meant to be will happen. More on this later.

Baby Matthes - I am getting more and more excited every week and absolutely cannot wait to meet you. You are an amazing miracle and I am so thankful to be carrying you so close and so dear. We love you so much!

Love and prayers in Week 16!
