ok, so even though, i am really already telling people i am 16 weeks as of today,
here is the update from the 15 week mark:

my baby is an apple,
and in honor of still not knowing what kind of apple is in there,
we bought some pink ladies

went to our first appointment here in cali yesterday
and met with one of my midwives.
i already love this place.

they were even nice to me and told me that
“my weight should even out in the next month”
and now that i have energy to go walking and do my yoga,
lets hope so.

i didn’t realize how much energy i was lacking or how crappy i felt until this week.
i am feeling worlds better these days – i am sure it is largely in my head,
but it is a lot easier to get up and go now and eat like a normal human.

she did a quick ultrasound (audio only) and we heard the heartbeat.
just one, thank all saints in heaven.
cc was cute and recorded it so he could listen to it all afternoon.
weird how that 30 seconds makes it all feel real now.

we went to the store afterward and he was quick to get all of the healthy things
[not at all like previous shopping adventures!]
he kept stopping to stare at me like he was just noticing me
and when i caught him, he smiled like a schoolboy and touched my barely protruding belly.
i think that 30 seconds is for the dads.

she told me we would hear from the obstetrics office that would do the intense ultrasound
and that it should be within the next two weeks.

sadly, they called and said it has to be on the 20th week… so October 14th it is.
maybe on that day baby will graduate from an “it” to a bonified human!

what a great day- lets hope 4 weeks comes fast
so we can see our little apple on the big screen soon!!
