15 Weeks!

(can't figure out why the picture is so small...sorry!)

How Far Along: 15 weeks

Size of Baby: Baby is growing rapidly! Baby is the size of a lemon this week!

Total Weight Gained/Lost: We don’t own a scale so I’m not sure as to how much I’ve gained this week. Last time I went to the doctor I was up a pound… I’m pretty sure that has gone up more this week!

Maternity Clothes: I’m almost in them….There have been a couple mornings of pure frustration as I go to the closet and can’t find anything that “fits” anymore. I’m pretty much stuck with my cotton dresses and just a few pairs of dress pants that were slightly big to begin with. I have also found one black skirt that is cotton and stretchy…it has become my best friend the past couple of days!!

Movement: Not yet…although I lay still on my back every night in hopes that I’ll feel something. Soon enough…soon enough!!

Sleep: Sleep has been GREAT the past couple of nights. I’ve started sleeping with two pillows and it has worked wonders for me! Novel idea…I know.

What I miss: My favorite pair of “skinny” jeans that I used to be able to just throw on and go! If I didn’t have to worry about zipping and buttoning….I’d be ok! Ha!

Cravings: No real strong cravings this week…mainly fruit still. I stopped by the farmers market and picked up some grapes, peaches, and bananas the other day! Grapes are already gone!

Aversions: Nothing new….haven’t tried the bacon since last week. A bit scared to…

Symptoms: I feel great! My energy level is back up and lasts (for the most part) throughout the whole day. I’ve been trying to exercise everyday which helps so much with how I’m feeling!!

Highlights from this week: Going home this weekend and attending the first Auburn football game in the 2011 season!!! Can’t wait to see my family and spend the weekend with Melinda and Thomas!!!
