Pregnancy week by week: 13-15

Continuing to catch up on the belly pics...for reference, today is the beginning of week 18 so we are getting closer to real time...

Week 13: I definitely feel that I look pregnant here. When I went to the doctor at week 12 (the missing photo week) I told her I already thought I looked pregnant and she said no one else even thinks that so don't worry.  But now I definitely think the belly bump is clearly appearing.  Week 13 continued to have improved energy levels, basically back to normal pre-pregnancy although I still sleep a little more.  Once we got the all is well at the week 12 check up, I began telling people at work about the pregnancy, which was a lot of fun.  I work in early childhood so my colleagues are lots of women who love kids, so everyone was very happy and excited and supportive! 

Week 14:  Still feeling more pregnant looking by the day, and more energetic.  I did throw up once this week, which had not happened before, but I ate dinner and then immediately realized it did not sit well and it all came back up quickly and then I went about my day and felt good.  Week 14 was also remarkable because we traveled to dc to celebrate my brother's wedding.  I managed to fit into my dress and mostly had to tell people I was pregnant looking.  I kept feeling good and trying to exercise, although we were tired at the end of the trip.  In this picture I am also showing off my fabulous bella band which I will go into more detail on later. 

Week 15: Still feeling good and happy that my regular clothes still fit, although more snugly.  It has been getting hotter here in Tucson but so far I don't feel like my temperature is any higher as a result of being pregnant, although people keep saying to me what a terrible summer I will have being pregnant in the heat...how helpful!  The pictures really help me see the changes from the beginning of the pregnancy, and I am thankful things have been so smooth thus far.
