15 weeks, 6 days.
One more week and the little Raven is the size of an avocado!
Cool things happening {via BabyCenter}: Not much except a HUGE growth spurt! Bits are moving into their proper, final, place and now we focus on getting bigger.
Mommy feels like: Pretty good, still have amazing energy and am able to get more done. The days are moving by much faster now that they are not so filled with worry, which I appreciate - I was getting pretty tired of time standing still.
As we anticipate the holidays, focusing my attention elsewhere is easier in my downtime. I am grateful.
Thanksgiving was alright, I didn't get as much time with my mother and the family as a whole as I had hoped for, but I get it totally. Dinner was delicious anyway, thoroughly satisfying.
The gender reveal party became too much of an intrusion on the holidays, so I decided to scrap it. When we go in on Christmas Eve to make sure our baby is growing well and to hopefully find out the sex, we will still have the results sealed, Christian and I will open them at home and then email everyone our Christmas card.
Family will receive the one with Baby's name, and his ultrasound picture. Friends and Internet will see the one that says "Introducing our son/daughter" that way no one will be inconvenienced and there's still a cute reveal.
I already have the card made, so when we have pictures and confirmation that he's a boy, I'll just pop in the picture and hit send. If he's a girl, it might take a little longer since we didn't even bother wasting the time to come up with a girl name. :P
I am outrageously excited. I can't wait to see him and to find out for sure that he's a boy {but I'll be just fine if I end up looking stupid, if he's a girl instead}.
Craving: Broccoli, raw carrots and potatoes like whoa. Potatoes. Oh, delicious potatoes.
Names the children have suggested: Camera Bolt, Mushroom Baby, and Sponge. I don't know, but I'm kind of feeling like Camera Bolt might take it.

Mmm potatoes. Me too. I can eat all the potatoes!
Mostly I crave my usual foods - like sushi - just way more intensely.
Camera Bolt all the way!
