15 weeks in Miami for a sister getaway/bachelorette party

How far along? 15 weeks on Friday April 5, 2013
Weight gain/loss: +3.6 pounds
Size of baby: the size of an avocado
Maternity clothes? not yet…
Stretch marks: none
Belly Button in or out? in the middle…does one’s belly button ever return to normal after being pregnant?!
Sleep: soso. I am getting up more frequently to go to the bathroom. and so much anxious excitement about life in general is making sleep difficult.
Food cravings: orange POP
Food aversions: coffee
Pregnancy Signs: OH MY…the 2nd trimester is so wonderful…wish I could stay here forever…but still have a baby of course! full of energy and anxious excitement about life in general. And again I have become very attached to Matias and Leo. Leaving them for Miami felt like forever and it was so wonderful to return home to them.
Movement: probably just gas?
Gender: GIRL…baby pink sparkles! nursery in the works. who can guess the theme?!
What I missed: baby Leo and Matias while I was away in Miami…so much it hurt
What I am looking forward to: going to CA for a wedding with Matias in 2 weeks…babymoon! although leaving Leo again and warm weather for keeps!
Best moment this week: our sister getaway to Miami! and getting to meet my niece Madeleine. and then coming home to my family.
Weekly Wisdom: Don’t marry a man unless you would be proud to have a son just like him. I hope Leo is just like Matias
Milestones: passed a big program at work that I had been on since October…this is pretty AWESOME.
Going the Distance: baby pink sparkles has swam: 160.47 miles, biked: 970.00 miles, and walked/ran: 171.75 miles

Bring on the PINK, SPARKLES, HELLO KITTY! This might get ugly….

Because of my soon to be advanced maternal age (I will be 35 in August and P2 comes in September)…we are able to get some additional testing. At the 1st trimester screening we had some blood taken for a DNA test…which again tests for chromosomal problems and also detects gender. The results just came in Leo is going to have a little sister! and more importantly all looking very healthy!
