15 Weeks

 

How Far Along:   15 Weeks

Baby's Size:   Navel Orange  Average size: 4 inches, 2.5 oz.
Legs are finally longer than arms...

Total Weight Gain:
Home scale:  Down 2.6 (which means I actually gained about 0.5 lbs this week... definitely feeling better!)
Doctor’s scale:  No measurement this week
Weight gained with Grant at this point:  2.6 lbs

Maternity Clothes:  I have to admit I have broken out the belly band a couple of times for my uniform work pants.  They are the not so attractive, high wasted sexy kind and frankly it has been a tight squeeze on some days.  Although, I haven't worn it everyday nor I have I worn it with any of my personal pants.

Baby's Movement:   Still feeling lil' nugget move here and there... nothing too consistent yet though.

Food Cravings:  I am sooo looking forward to Blanck's tomorrow!  I also came across a coupon for funfetti cake and icing and of course had to make the purchase but I haven't actually baked the cake yet.  Otherwise, there have been no specific cravings but I have been feeling better and starving!

Food Aversions:  Leftovers!  Yuck! 

Sleep:  I am still sleeping pretty well although it may be time to break out the body pillow pretty soon.  And that stinking nightly potty trip really ticks me off.

Symptoms:  Knock on wood it has been a good week (minus one throw up incident) and I have been STARVING.  I have found that if I have the slightest inkling of being hungry and don't eat then I get nauseous but usually as soon as I get something in my stomach I am good to go. YAY!!! I can't begin to explain how great that feels.  Having not felt good for the past 11 weeks... I feel like a new person.  Unfortunately, I have still been very tired (i.e. I was asleep on the couch by 7:00 last night!). 

Best Moment(s) This Week:  We organized the office/toy room and it felt great!  I decluttered and threw away tons of stuff, packed away toys Grant doesn't play with, and rearranged. 

What I Miss:  Right now I can't really think of anything other than having energy.  I am feeling good (other than the cough/colds that have hit Matt, Grant and myself this week).  I have no desire for a cocktail (actually the thought repulses me).  I am eating what I want when I want and doing what I want when I want. 

What I Am Looking Forward To:  Getting my hands on the "spare room" aka soon to be "nursery."  I have started envisioning what I may want it to look like but of course knowing the gender will be the true key to design scheme.   

What's Different This Time:  Looking back in my pregnancy journal from Grant I would say not very much.  I had very slight nausea with him that had worn off by this time and I was still pretty tired at this point with him as well so I would say it is pretty even par right now.
