Propel is my best friend

I've decided that I really don't like the taste of water anymore. I'm not really sure how that happens because, does water really have a taste? Hmm. Good question. But I've had a hard time wanting to drink water, which is bad because I'm suppose to drink even more water than usual. Plus, I've never really been that good at drinking water anyway.
But I have found a solution to my problem, Propel packets! I just put a half of a packet in my water bottle and drink up! They have vitamins and electrolytes and the best part, no aspartame!
Oh, and my favorite kind is Raspberry Lemonade!

Zumba

Today I went to a new exercise class. It's called Zumba. It's kind of like a dance class but it's exercise. I don't think the pregnant body will be able to keep up with this class through the whole thing, but at least for the next month or so. It was quite a blast. Below I found a pretty good you tube clip to show you what it's like!

15 Weeks

So I have to be honest and tell you all that I got this cute idea for tracking my pregnancy from a friend of a friend's blog. If you ever read this "friend," thank you for the idea!

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 15 weeks

Size of Baby: 4 in. crown to rump, 2.5 oz. about the size of an apple

Total Weight Gain: 6 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Not yet, but I'm no longer able to button my pants, this belly band thing is great to cover up the unbuttoned pants, but I can't keep the back of my pants from sliding down! Does anyone have any tricks?

Gender: Unknown

Food Cravings: Top Ramen of all things! I try to curb this one since Top Ramen really isn't that healthy. Also cheese

What I miss: Not sure about this one, sometimes I miss bodily functions working normally

Sleep: pretty good so far, but starting to have a hard time getting comfortable at night!

Symptoms: I think I skated through the morning sickness with relative ease. I just get winded easily and I'm hungry, A LOT!

Best Moment of the Week: My belly started pouching, and not just because I was bloated.

What I'm Looking Forward to: The baby getting bigger and being able to feel him/her.

The Time Has Come

The time has come to let the blogging world know the big news from our little corner of the world. We are expecting little Baby Robbins somewhere around Jan. 10th. This is a picture from the first ultrasound on June 7th, so he/she has grown quite a bit since then(about the size of a lemon now). The next ultrasound is scheduled for July 29th, so soon I will have a more up to date picture to share.
