15 WEEKS PREGNANT!
Hi guys,
Realizing I’m behind on my weekly updates because well, life, it’s time to get back on track! Entering week 15 and baby was the size of an apple! This is when pregnancy started getting real for me. Not that it wasn’t before but man is it sinking in. For starters, I’m starting to show! It’s getting uncomfortable to sleep and I get really hot at night. I’m still very much enjoying getting my second wind since the second trimester and am a lot more energetic, back to cooking and regaining enough energy to start exercising again! YAY!
- Cravings: burgers, 2-3 times a week. So funny because usually I limits myself to maybe one once a month? Crackers are the craziest things, but I haven’t wanted anything weird like ice cream and pickles.
- Aversions: nothing this week! What a blessing.
- Mood: Waiting for “the glow” haha. I feel pretty good.
- Ultrasound and Baby’s sex: quick ultrasound showing me some long fingers and legs. It’s settled, I’m having a baby giraffe and cousin be more excited!
- Movement and Positioning: evening flutters makes me think it’s actual movement. Looking forward to when I can actually feel baby move!
- Weight gain: seems stable at the moment. Haven’t noticed any gains this week. Boobs keep growing though, with no signs of stopping!
- Nursery and registry: Zippo.
- Names: no fighting or discussing about names this week. We are taking a break!
- Midwife or OB: Happy with my midwife. She says we are doing well and I’m cleared to travel straight through 34 weeks of gestation. I think I’ll keep her.
- Aches and pains: Round ligament pain on and off. Breasts are less achy, which is a great thing!
- Sleep: being a belly sleeper sucks. I really wish I could still do it. Side lying just doesn’t do it for me so I have to prop my belly up with pillows and imagine I’m on my stomach when I sleep on my side. I’m too hot for the body pillow which is sad because I actually like it.
- Currently wearing: the plan is to live in loose dresses until it gets too cold, which will be a while. Life is good….except no more jeans! Officially can’t fit into an of my bottoms anymore, only leggings.
- Traveling: we are grounded this week.
Thank you for following along! Please leave me comments with any tips for the upcoming months as I grow into this awesome trimester! I have to start thinking about a baby registry soon.
