A few thoughts...

I have recently discovered the beauty of leggings and have come to the conclusion that they may be the most comfortable things in the world!  From here on out, I'm swearing off jeans.  Just leggings, skirts, sweats, and yoga pants for this girl.  I don't remember my jeans feeling quite this uncomfortable this early during pregnancy #1.  I'm looking at pictures and I'm definitely showing more this time around so I guess it makes sense.
I just read the sweetest birth story on The Daybook, but good golly miss molly, did that girl have a rough labor!  She was laboring for 9 days before she actually went to the hospital for "show time".  And after she made it to the hospital, she labored for another 13 hours on top of that!  Makes my labor with Lucy seem like a piece of cake.  Well, to me, at that moment, it was not.  But oh soooo worth it.  If it wasn't work, they wouldn't call it "labor", right? :)  It's funny how all these babies make their way into the world, each with their own special story.  I really enjoy reading other people's birthing stories because they are all so different.

P.S. Is it too early to feel the baby move with your 2nd pregnancy?  Because I swear I felt Fetus move last night...either that or I had some squirrelly gas rumbling around in there.  TMI?  Haha!  It's just strange because I didn't feel Luce until I was 22 weeks.  It seems rather early since I'm only 15 weeks along.  It must have been gas.

And to family and friends who live far away, here is proof that there is definitely something growing in my womb...

...or that I went to town on Thanksgiving Dinner this year, which I most certainly did. :)

I was telling a friend this morning how glad I am that I stocked up on leggings last year when I was pregnant. I don't think I could go buy them non-pregnant, but it's nice to have a stash! I've been wearing them almost every night to bed... and sometimes a little longer than I should in the morning! :)

Haha, my burrrrnnnnttt friend. I'm sure it was some gas... I swear I felt this baby move pretty early too. I hope to get to see you over Christmas!

What do you wear with the leggings? I am pretty sure those are only allowed for thin lovely legs like you and Deidra. I wish I could wear them, but I basically stick to vast aray of yoga pants. Also, I think you just know what to expect this time around, as far as baby moving. I felt this one at 16 for sure, and Evan not till 20. I think you can just recognize it this time around :)

Dennen was able to feel Finn kicking when I was just 16 weeks along. With this one, it was 18 weeks (maybe because I wasn't paying as much attention).

Yoga pants, leggings, and skirts are the best! Be comfy during pregnancy is my motto.

I swear I felt Appleseed move at 15 weeks too, so you never know. I didn't really know what I had felt. It was like a little butterfly in there and didn't feel like anything that I had ever felt. I didn't feel him again though for like 2 weeks but when I felt it later, it felt the same.
