15 weeks

I'm not quite sure how much I'm going to be posting about the pregnancy, not that I don't want to, but since I can't make my blog private I really don't want my bizness out there for everybody to see.....

Today I am 15 weeks, it's crazy it feels like it's gone by SO fast! I'm in my second trimester & I'm feeling AMAZING!! I found this cute update thingy about pregnancies on another blog that I'm going to do every once in awhile.

Enjoy!

How Far Along: 15 Weeks

Size of baby: about the size of a naval orange or 4.5 inches, 2 to 3 oz.

Maternity Clothes: I am still blessed that I can fit into my jeans while using a hair tie to do them up! As for shirts, I have bought about 3 or 4 maternity shirts that are SUPER comfortable but for the most part I just wear my own clothes still.

Gender: not sure yet

Name: I don't think we'll know for sure til that baby is in our arms, and even then it might take a day or two. I can't settle on just one yet!

Movement: I can't really tell.....I don't think so but every once in awhile I feel flutters but just convince myself it's something else.

Sleep: UGH! Let's just start out by saying that my hips are KILLING me! My dr says it's something I'm going to deal with my whole pregnancy & possibly afterwards. Since I was little I've been able to pop my tail bone in and out of place (freaky I know) but I was told by a dr when I was younger that when I go to have kids I'm going to pay for being able to do that, BOY was that dr right!!! I have a BOPPY pillow which does help A TON & I just have to take Tylenol to sleep right now, nothing else I can do.

Cravings: I haven't had any cravings recently but at first it was popsicle's, red vines, sweet tarts, gummy bears, you get where this is going LOL

Symptoms: I have only had a few throwing up spells in the first trimester, that's gone away. My nose is still sensitive to smells such as the garage REEKS I don't know of what, it just does. Chris just doesn't understand, just because something stinks to me does not mean it's going to stink to him. My fridge disgusts me, the garbage churns my stomach, and just walking up to my sink sometimes I start to dry heave. It's not every day that these things are going on but at least 2 to 3 times a week. I do ok as long as I have a drink of something other than water for when I start not feeling so well. I change my Scentsy like everyday just to keep smells under wraps! :)

Weird Things: HORMONES! Holyness........my poor husband! That's all I can say! I'll only give one example because I think this example is just great! We went through Wendy's drive through the other day and I asked for a Ceasar Salad with grilled chicken (normally it comes with Spicy Chicken). Well when I received the salad the top of it said Spicy Chicken. I started BAWLING because they screwed up my order!! Chris made me pull back around, he ran it inside, come to find out they cook the chicken separately and just place it on the already made up lettuce that's in the already labeled Spicy Chicken bowl. So I freaked out for nothing basically, but at that moment it seemed like a HUGE DISASTER to me! OH MY! It's going to be a long 6 months to go!! Please pray for my husband! :-)

Worries: I worry EVERY SINGLE DAY! After you experience what I've been through I don't think I'll be ok until I'm holding that baby in my arms! I have an at home doppler so I get to listen to my little bundle of joy anytime I want. My newest worry...I had the blood test done last week for the syndromes test (tells you your odds of your baby having some sort of disease) I'll find out this week how my results are! Please pray as well!

Best Moment of the Week(s): Hitting the 14 milestone last week, being able to be off of Progesterone, hearing the babies heart beat at the dr's, and being in my second trimester!

Appointments This Week: Appointment was last week, another 4 weeks until the next one!

What I’m looking forward to: Finding out the sex of the baby, I have a SUPER CUTE idea to tell the family & cannot wait!!!

Something I've Learned/Realized: I never thought conceiving, carrying, and having a baby would be such a sensitive process. There is A LOT that goes into this process & I've learned that TIMING IS EVERYTHING!!
