The warmth after winter is so refreshing. Saturday I had all the windows to the house open and it was beautiful weather outside.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I don't know if he's my most favorite, I'd never really though about it, but I do love a good Tom Hanks movie. A League of Their Own, Apollo 13, Forrest Gump...he's amazing in most of my favorite movies from the 90's.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Living in SoCal, we're actually about to embark on a few of our colder, foggier months. But when I loved somewhere with seasons, I loved the warming weather, getting my garden in order, and wildflowers appearing in the side of the road.

DH seems like he's having a hard time being excited for a girl.. he really wanted a boy. This is a weird place for us because he was so into shopping and looking before and now he's all blah about it and doesn't want to look at girl crib sheets.

Also we go on a trip most every spring so I am excited about that!

Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? yay Spring! I love the weather, and baseball season! And my birthday, and Easter... haha
I still feel like I'm crazy that I think I'm feeling him this early. It is week 16 but I'm heavy and a FTM so I did not expect it. It took a few days for me to decide I really was feeling him. My mom friends have all said that what I'm describing is definitely baby. Has anyone else felt the baby move yet or with a previous pregnancy?
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why?
I really tend to like Jason Statham movies because explosions are fun. Even when the movie isn't technically that good I always enjoy them. Also Chris Pratt. I'm super excited for Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring?
I really love dandelions. I know, I'm weird. But I think they're super pretty and I get excited when they finally all appear everywhere.

Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? All of the pretty flowers that start blossoming around my neighborhood. Makes me want to walk to work more. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to walk to work. I try to walk at least 3 times a week when the weather is nice.
Size of a peach
My next appointment isn't until 4/6
Other than feeling an occasional flutter, no new symptoms. I am so relieved that the stomach ick I had two weeks ago has passed.
I had a positive evaluation at work today, and I shared with my administrators that I will be going on maternity leave in September. I had been stressed about telling them, but they were very supportive.
I love movies, but one actor or actress is not coming to mind. I also haven't been able to watch a whole movie without falling asleep for months, so that could be part of it.
My favorite things about spring are the wildflowers that are blooming in our area.

Finally broke down and bought a pregnancy pillow. Can't wait to get it on Saturday. Hopefully it's a game changer!
