For my sister!

As many of you know, my sister Keri and I have lived no less than 10 miles away from each other all of our lives until last year. Keri had this amazing opportunity to move, with her family, to Hawaii. This has been a bittersweet time for us. Traveling to Hawaii all the time with free room and board has its perks but not having her here has been very hard! I always imagined her being here for my pregnancy, the thought never crossed my mind (even when she moved) that she would not be here for this. Thankfully Keri has enlisted some amazing women to stand in her place and I have some rock stars up my sleeve too!

With that said, I have created this blog for Keri (and yes, you too Lauren). Even though she is not here to pet the buddha (belly), I needed a way to connect with her to show her every week how huge I am getting. I know I could have done this on Facebook, but I wanted it to be intentional and not in your face with constant updates. Please frequent as often as you like…no pressure to return (except for Keri and Lauren…you must return otherwise this is a fatty waste of time! HA!)

Here goes…. This is week 15! I do not read the pregnancy books because… well… frankly, they freak the crap out of me! At one point, a book basically explained that I had a frog living in me and that is when I gave up on the books. I am a less is more kind of gal…so at this point all I need to know is that we have a heart beat…and that we do! What I can tell you this week is that the baby is the size of a navel orange. Don’t worry…next week will be something like a lime and you will scratch your head like I do and say what the F…but we will save that for next week!

My friend Michelle thought that we should create a chart to see how much I grow over time...we will see how well this works because we were not that scientific about it!

So it says week 15, Kati's Fat Chart... Next was to prove that Michelle did a good job tracing the buddah...

 

And last is to show the bump in full glory....
