It’s been a relaxed few weeks where I decided to take things easy. Instead of being glued to my phone (yes, I must admit I’m guilty of that from time to time), I chose to read instead and relax. However, traveling has been on my mind on overdrive! I’m seriously thinking traveling to Europe for a few weeks to be with my family and just get a break from my every day life in the States. Perhaps it’s my hormones—but I’m craving it really bad.

I still cannot believe that I’m already 15 weeks! The baby is now the size of an apple, can you believe it? My total weight gain so far is around 5 to 6 lbs. It still fluctuates a bit but I’m pretty happy about it! I’ve been wanting to continue to work out too but tiredness and low blood pressure made it impossible for me. Hopefully I’ll be able to again once I’ve conquered my fatigue once and for all!
***
I’m not wearing them quite yet, and honestly, I prefer sizing up vs buying maternity clothes. Still haven’t found a maternity destination that carries clothes that are to my liking! Do you have any recommendations?
***
I can finally sleep through the night without having to go to the bathroom which is such a relief, believe me.
***
I think I felt a few flutters here and there but I’m not 100% sure. It’s an amazing feeling, though!
***
We found out the gender and we will finally announce it on Monday, October 17th! So, be sure to come back to find out what we are having! Such an exciting time!
As always, thanks much for reading and don’t forget to come back Monday for the BIG GENDER ANNOUNCEMENT!
XOXO

What a beautiful photo, Vanessa; that dress looks so beautiful on you! I really can’t wait to find out the gender of the baby on Monday, definitely something to look forward to! I think that would be a great idea to visit your family in Europe, while you’re still able to travel. I’m sure they’d love the opportunity to see you and your bump and be apart of the pregnancy by spending time with you. Thank so much for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you have the most amazing weekend ahead!

Dear V., soooo lovely, what for a beautiful picture! I think sizing up is nice, and as I don’t have kids, I don’t know what to recommend, but I hope you find a maternity shop that meets your taste! I think it’s a good idea to go to Europe, to be with your family there, too; I am sure that our family in the US is sweet, but the other part also deserves your company 🙂 I will for suuuure come here on Monday, I am curious 🙂 Hugs and kisses, dear V., hope you have a very nice weekend!

Oh, poor you!! I know the feeling of being homesick quite a bit 🙂 my parents are 33,000kms away and we are separated by several continents. The last time, it took me 5 years before I could fly back again to see them, so it was hard. Hopefully you can be reunited with yours soon. And blessings for the pregnancy being easier to handle now. HUGS.
And if you haven’t yet, do come over and join my weekly Friday Link-Up? I’d love to see you there.

What a lovely baby bump! You look so beautiful.
Anyway, I also prefer wearing bigger size clothing – in my opinion – still more stylish than wearing maternity clothes!
Ha-ha!
