15 Weeks

October 22, 2013

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along: 15 weeks

Size of babies: oranges

Genders: we find out next Wednesday! 

Maternity clothes: I am wearing my maternity jeans everyday, but a combo of mat/non-mat tops 

Weight gain: 5 pounds
Belly growth:  4 inches

Movement: it's hard to explain, but I'm feeling something.  It can't really be described as movement or "flutters," but I can tell something is going on in there.  I defnitely would not have noticed it had this been my first pregnancy.  

Sleep: I got one of those huge pregnancy pillows (that I hated with Carter) and it is a GAME CHANGER! I sleep all night, every night.  

Symptoms: I thought I was out of the woods with the sickness but I randomly got sick on Monday morning.  Hoping it was just a one-time thing.  Otherwise I feel great! 

Cravings: ice cold water and fruit.  Nothing sounds good or tastes good right now so I'm having a really hard time eating anything.
What I miss: any movements involving my abs

Best moment this week: hematoma is officially GONE!! 

Best husband moment/quote: this didn't come from Matt, but I've randomly had two strangers in the last few days ask me if "it's my first/second?" baby (depending if Carter is with me or not.)  It's totally a shock when I tell them it's my second AND third! :)
Notes: I don't have to go in for another OB appointment for 3 weeks!!!
