The week 15 picture. Definitely some slow growth happening here. I have a friend due three weeks before we are who started seriously showing at around 14 weeks. Just goes to show you that everybody's different. We have the 16 weeks checkup on Friday and will have to post the good Doctor's opinion. :)
Yesterday was absolutely beautiful here in DC. The weather was in the low 80s with a nice breeze and no humidity. Jon and I decided to bike the 5 miles downtown and spend some time on the National Mall and maybe visit a museum. Here's Jon in front of the Washington Monument (just to prove that we actually biked down). It's a great ride. I love that we're close enough to the city to bike in. Maybe our backs are feeling the 10 miles a little bit today - but it's a small price to pay.
We ate some pb&j's on the Mall and then went to the Natural History Museum for a bit. We checked out the new butterfly exhibit which was awesome. They stock a specially made capsule room with exotic butterflies from around the world (we were told they bring in 4 shipments every week). The butterflies won't lay eggs because they aren't around any of their natural plants (and with butterflies from almost every continent that'd be pretty hard to do!) Here are some great shots that Jon got of a few of the butterflies.
This is one of my favorite shots.
This one was called a peacock butterfly. Seen from different angles the color changed from green to blue. It literally looks like it has glitter all over it's wings and body.
Here's a video Jon shot of two butterflies.
Really beautiful.
The giant luna moth. This thing is really about the size of your hand. The body is much bigger than a large cicada.
And what would a trip to DC be without a little street vendor ice cream?
