4 Months Complete

As of Wednesday, I'll have completed 4 months of pregnancy. I can't believe it, it really does go by as fast as they say. Yesterday, I returned from my month long vacation visiting family and am now easing back into routine. I certainly look more pregnant than before I left and I definitely feel so as well.

I've gained 4 lbs - I gained back what I lost initially, so I'm at my pre-pregnancy weight now. I'm not sure how considering all the state-side food, but I won't argue it. Other than my dreadful viral infection I'm finally kicking after a week, I feel well. I am tired, but I blame that on the sickness. I do have some stretching and pulling, but the baby needs to grow! I pee what feels like every half hour. I cry for seemingly no reason, unless you count being overwhelmed at an overly-crowded restaurant and a table with too much food covering it, a reason. [To be fair, our flight was delayed a million times, so we stayed an extra day and I was dreadfully tired.] No cravings, just my day to day, "I could go for _______", thoughts. I am fully embracing the maternity clothes. I finally accumulated enough jeans for my entire pregnancy thanks to Ross, thrift stores and random sales.

          15 weeks.

The baby is almost the size of an avocado (length wise) and is weighing in at 3.5 oz. As of now, I am waiting to feel the baby kick. It could be now, it could be in a month, but when it happens I will be over the moon. On Wednesday I have my 4 month ultrasound and checkup with my midwife and August 12 we go in for a 3D ultrasound to find out the sex of baby Peterson! I can't wait to show the DVD to my family! :)

We sort of have names chosen, but I'm not sold on our boy name, so I'm praying for a girl so I can just avoid that situation all together. Ill update after my ultrasound!
