Weeks 15 & 16

Yesterday I got home from work, Charlie had just started his shift, and I was not about to spend yet ANOTHER night at home alone for hours.  It's just gets to be a long night/week when Charlie and I work opposite schedules and don't see each other for a few days other than when one wakes up in the morning and the other is just going to sleep for the night.  So...I decided to drive up to Sioux Falls and see if my sisters wanted to go maternity clothes shopping with me.  So far my clothes are still fitting ok at least my shirts, but my pants/shorts are another story.  The other day I put on a pair of shorts and couldn't get them zipped or buttoned, Charlie and I got a good laugh out of that and then he went and grabbed a ponytail and proceeded to put the ponytail around the button and through the loop of my shorts.  It actually worked and you couldn't even tell cause my shirt covered it up. 

Anyways, my sisters and I had a lot of fun last night and I was just happy to have all the hands to help me pick different things out and if you know me I loved having everyone's opinions too!  I do have to say it was an eye opener putting on the "fake belly" at Motherhood Maternity to be able to tell how shirts, etc. would fit once I start to get a bit more of a belly.  Kelsie and I got a kick out of that.   

I am currently 16 weeks and feeling great.  I have just started to pick up running again after being sick and I am loving it.  I have decided that there should really be spot-a-pots about every mile though for those of us that need to take a break every now and then.  Maybe by the next time I post again we will have had our 18 week OB appointment.  I still have two weeks until that appointment and I am already antsy. 

Here are some baby bump pictures I thought I'd share with you from the past couple weeks:
