Sixteen Weeks

Somehow with all the craziness of the holidays we forgot to take a picture for week fifteen and by the time we remembered it seemed silly to take one so close to this one.  In some ways this pregnancy is seeming to crawl by, because I'm so ready to meet him or her, but in some ways it's flying by.  It's weird to think that we're only a month from being halfway through it--and only a month from finding out if our little one is a boy or a girl!  It's funny because at first I was a little against wanting to find out if it's a boy or a girl, but now that we've decided to find out, I can't wait!  I kinda think it's a boy and Landon kinda thinks it's a girl, so we'll see! 

So, for a little update. :) This week Baby Speights is about four or five inches and about the size of an avocado.  So, we're both growing--though I don't think I normally look as big as I do in this dress!  I'm in that weird in between stage--my normal clothes are not super comfortable anymore, but maternity clothes are still a little big.  But, my mom and I went shopping over the break and she bought me some cute maternity clothes, which was a lot of fun!  I'm excited to be able to wear them!

Overall, I'm feeling great right now.  I'm a little tired still, but I think that has more to do with working with middle schoolers all day rather than the pregnancy.  I'm back to running 3-4 times a week, and actually planning to run/walk a half marathon with a few people at the end of February, which I'm excited about.  Some days I feel good running and can run 3-4 miles without a problem and some days it's just uncomfortable, so I end up walking, which is fine.  Either way though, I always feel better after I work out, even if it's just for 20 or 30 minutes.

So , so far so good. :) I go back to the doctor in about a week and we're praying that he/she is still healthy and growing strong and that everything looks good!  We're so excited and can't wait to meet our little one in a few (or five :)) months!
