15 Weeks

Baby Update: 15 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights from this week:

How far along? 15 weeks, 1 day. 

Size of the baby? About the size of an apple. 4 inches.

Maternity Clothes? Well, I had to move up a size in my scrubs. This week I have worn leggings and my regular shirts and work out clothes (that I SHOULD be working out in!!). No maternity clothes yet but soon.

Gender? Don't know yet but we find out on March 29th and can't WAIT!!!!  

Movement? Can't feel anything yet. 

Sleep? I am sleeping pretty well right now. Still very tired at night so no trouble at all falling asleep! 

Cravings?  I haven't really had any cravings. Still pretty hungry but it seems to be tapering off some. I can go longer spans without having to eat. Still craving fruit. I have been eating about one cantaloupe per day along with peaches and grapefruits. Really loving fruit right now. 

Symptoms?  This week I felt pretty good. Thank goodness! Still having a little shortness of breath and very tired at night. I also have a really bad taste in my mouth a lot but the doctor said that is from my prenatal vitamin. 

What I miss?  Still miss Sushi and diet Dr. Pepper

Milestones? We had an appointment last week and got to hear the baby's heartbeat! It was the sweetest sound we have ever heard :-) Being in the second trimester. Each week we are getting a little closer!  

What I am nervous about?  I am not really nervous about anything right now. I am very anxious for our appointment on the 29th. This is the appointment where they will do the anatomy scan to make sure the baby is growing properly and we will also find out the gender that day. Just praying every day that our sweet baby is healthy!! 

What I'm excited about? Finding out the gender and getting to go shop for the baby! We did buy one sweet little outfit the weekend that we just couldn't resist! I did keep the receipt in case I need to switch it out for another color. We are just excited to meet our sweet baby! August seems so far away! 

No bump picture this week. .  I actually haven't taken any pictures yet but trust me .. . It's there and growing (along with other things that I wish wouldn't grow!!) I will take one this week.
