And one has to understand that braveness is not the absence of fear but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear.

Pregnancy Update.

How far along: 15 weeks today! Weight gain: 4 lbs 😭 Sleep: Eh. I wake up to pee a few times a night, which is annoying, but other than that it's not so bad. Baby purchases this week: a jumper! Best moment regarding baby this week: starting to plan the gender reveal party! Gender: we have no idea! :) Movement: i haven't noticed anything yet! Food cravings: anything that involves breakfast foods, and basically all the junk. I hate it, but love it at the same time. Food aversions: Any kind of salad. I've tried so hard, because I used to love salad but I just can't do it right now. How’s Mama? Cranky. I've been so annoyed by everything. I get emotional sometimes at night, mostly when I can't sleep and am overthinking. Miss anything? I never realized how much I loved fish until I couldn't eat it anymore. I would kill for some fried shrimp. What I am looking forward to: finding out what the gender is so we can start shopping!!! It's been killing me not being able to. Our baby in veggie/fruit terms: Navel Orange. :)

14 weeks

I turned 14 weeks last Thursday, and while this isn't a new "symptom" it definitely isn't seeming to be getting better with time. I hate to call myself an angry pregnant person, but I'm certainly not the most pleasant person to be around. Everyone, and everything lately seems to annoy me to no end. Especially the kids I babysit. Every time they speak it's like my patience shrinks by a foot. I'm not sure if the hormones, or just me at this point but I'm praying it gets easier for the sake of everyone's sanity. 😭

There aren't enough words to describe how proud I am of my baby brother! For 18 years I've been blessed to be able to watch you grow into an amazing, respectable man of God. You always go after exactly what you want, and won't stop until you've gotten it. I will always admire the way you dream fearlessly and without limits. I cannot wait to continue to watch you as you move onto this new chapter in life. I love you so much! ❤️🎓

It's never easy getting a good picture with the two of us plus mom's shaky camera skills. Sadly, this is the best we could do tonight. I cannot believe in a few days, my baby brother will be a high school graduate! I'll save the sappy message for Saturday, but I love you and I am so proud of you!
