Week 15

This photo got pushed back a little...
taken at 15 weeks 2 days... but you get the jist.

How far along: 14 weeks 6 days (When I wrote this two days ago. I wanted to get a pic but that might have to be a little later...)

Total weight gain: 4.5 pounds

Maternity clothes: Just pants - leggings and my trusty mat jeans. Otherwise its sweats at home and regular jeans with a hair tie through the button hole.

Sleep: Good besides those darn bathroom breaks... twice a night :(  Scott has been home - I always sleep good when he's here to snuggle with. 

Best moment this week: Driving in the pickup with Scott resting his hand on my belly. (A whole post will be dedicated to that story soon.)

What I miss: Not feeling like a bloated cow. Seriously... I'm excited for the belly, just not all this extra air...

Movement: I don't think so. 

Food cravings: FOOOOOD. I downed a box of Frosted Mini Wheats in three days - a feat that usually takes a few months. 

Making me queazy: Nothing. Oh, and I like coffee again! But I can tell I've been off it for a while - a small cup is about all I can handle. But oh, does it taste wonderful.

Starting to show: Yeah, not too much that many people notice though. In the morning I lay in bed and feel my stomach - its this nice, hard little bump. It's the best part of the whole day :)

• Note: I haven't mentioned this before but some areas started "showing" much earlier than my belly. My boobs have about doubled in size, and let me tell you - for this lady, who is... challenged, we'll say... in the chest area, this has been a welcomed part of pregnancy for both mom and dad! :)

Gender: Will know in about 5 weeks!

Happy or moody: Happy, but I did have a freaky emotional day yesterday. I was crabby then overwhelmed and started crying. But then Scott turned over in bed and pulled me close and I forgot all about my hormone episode. 

Things I've been experiencing this week: I got weirdly dizzy one day. I came home and did dishes... I think it was a combination of two layers of shirts and my warm socks and then my hands in the hot water but I got light headed and craved sweets. So I chowed 3 Hershey with toffee bites. I don't know what that was about. 

• [New Challenge] Learning to wait. I read some delivery stories and watched Up All Night (hilllllarious this week) and now I just cannot wait to hold and cuddle and touch my babies cheek to my own. I hope this pregnancy speeds up <3

What I'm looking forward to: The doctor's appointment on Monday. And to start the nursery and the process of buying everything baby needs/should have/is too cute to pass up.

Size of baby: The size of a naval orange.
