15 weeks and nesting

i'm 15 weeks and baby is the size of an apple now!
we're getting into the swing of things, my apple and i...despite the clumsiness. no more feeling like the pits and there is lots more energy to be had. 

it's come at the perfect time too! this time of year i always start getting a nesting/spring cleaning/paint a wall black itch. i'm dusting off my old domino magazines and hunkering down for inspiration.

there is so much good energy and excitement in the house and with our friends and family...i'm trying to soak it all up and enjoy these months, although it's hard not to rush. 
5 more months to go!

    Oh wow, when was the last time I checked in on you?? I can't believe you're pregnant! How exciting!! I need to read back and get caught up here! I do miss you on LJ, though I have been having problems keeping up with anyone on there as well. I need to remember to keep coming back here! I'm so happy for you. :)

    (For some reason it's not letting me post with my LiveJournal identity, so I'm just posting with my name/URL!)

    I'm excited for you!
    Your photos have such a beautiful white "shimmer" and look so "clean". Do you use photoshop?
