Baby Update

15 Weeks

IMG_2188Look at that big baby orange (about 4″ long)! 🙂 It’s exciting to see how much Baby is growing lately.
How far along: 15 weeks
Gender: Completely torn this week… I have no idea!
Weight gain: Still about the same.
Symptoms: Back pain, nausea, occasional headaches, and I threw up Thursday morning (first time it happened in the morning the whole pregnancy!). One symptom that I forgot to mention earlier: burping. I seem to have a lot of gas in my tummy!
Maternity clothes: Just one pair of maternity jeans and my usual yoga pants on the weekend.
Stretch marks: No
Belly button in or out: in
Sleep: totally fine..except for my middle-of-the-night potty trips
Best moment this week: Getting my one pound of pink Starburst candies in the mail. 🙂 And getting my “baby’s going home” outfits in the mail (yes, I’ve been a little addicted to online shopping).
Miss anything: Andrew. I had a 3-day weekend (Memorial Day), and it was not as relaxing and enjoyable as I wanted it to be. Yes, I relaxed, but I got bored and a little anxious-feeling by Monday. A quick trip to base to run errands and phone calls to family helped though.
Movement: I don’t think so, but I’m excited to feel something!
Cravings: Hm, nothing really. I’m not really craving this, but fruit snacks have been helping me get my prenatal vitamins down: fruit snack, quick swallow vitamin, then a few more fruit snacks. Not sure why, but it works! Still enjoying chips and salsa and my pink Starburst candies too. 🙂
Looking forward to: My next appointment… I feel like it’s been awhile since I’ve been to the doctor.

  2. Hey you, so glad you are doing so well. A couple of tips from crazy Auntie; chew gum before and after eating to help with gas (any kind of gum works). An old hillbilly wivestale if you will; the first time you feel your baby move, (I mean when you are absolutely sure that it is the baby moving)….count 4 months and 15 days from that day. You should have your baby 2-3 days either way of that date. I don’t know about most but I was on the money with Steve and 1 day later with Jeff.

    Love to you all three !!!
