You'd think that I would miss drinking on a day like today but it is actually one of the things that I miss the least! What is really getting me the most is the lack of caffeine. I do miss a nice, cold refreshing Coca-Cola or Mountain Dew at the end of a long day. And how about a piping hot coffee to start those days off?!? Well, the way I see it is I'd be giving up something for Lent anyway, may as well extend my sacrifice for another 8 months!
Last week had a few gorgeous days that actually hit 50 degrees...Woo hoo! Of course, to us Minnesotans it was like summer! Shorts and sandles were out in full effect for some. As quickly as it came though, so did the snow today to knock us down a few pegs again. And so goes the ebb and flow of spring until June or so...
...As does my tummy evidently! Weeks fourteen and fifteen have gone faster than ever. Our child is the size of a softball now, we've been told, but judging from the pictures between both weeks, you would think softball season was LAST week!
Contrary to what the pictures show anyhow, my jeans are absolutely getting tighter and I am using the age-old rubberband trick (around the button and through the loop for some extra room!) and am actually entertaining the idea of running out and grabbing a pair or two of maternity pants with room for growth. Eeeeek!

My sweet tooth is something else and thus, a new staple around our house are those soft sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles that you can buy in the bakery section of your local grocery store. Fun since the frosting is usually quite festive according to the nearest holiday! Green for St. Patty's lately, and next up is pink for Easter! Yum!
Have a splendid week and talk to you soon! 15 Weeks
