15 week update

Things seem to be chugging right along here lately. Last week, at the time, seemed to draaaag on, but now when I sit and think "I'm 15 weeks pregnant" and literally feel like I should be somewhere closer to 6 or 7! Haha! No complaining here since I can't wait to get to the "good" part of pregnancy.

Let's see. No idea on weight gain. I had originally planned on weighing myself this morning but just didn't have the energy to get the Wii fit out. The scale in the bathroom says I'm about 3-4 pounds up from the start of my pregnancy but it can vary by almost 5lbs sometimes so I don't use it often.

Not sure on movement yet. Last Friday night I was laying in bed watching tv and I suddenly felt 3 quick, VERY faint thumps very low on my belly. I immediately turned to DH and said "I think I felt the baby" but I haven't felt much since then, so who knows. Also, although I am technically 15 weeks, baby is probably measuring more like 14w 2d as of right now. So I try to keep that in the back of my mind when I start freaking out that I had already felt noticeable movement with C by now.

I'm still getting sick every so often, which is about as far away from C's pregnancy as you can get. Besides the morning sickness and my skin breaking out that makes me think girl, I'm starting to get on the boy bandwagon a bit. He/she seems chill in there, just like C. Plus DH and I had a good long talk about having 2 boys close together in age and Emma being the only girl. I think a major factor with me being sad about no more girls was just the cute clothes and bows that come along with it. But the hubby explained that if we DO have two boys than I can totally spoil Emma rotten with clothes, accessories, and fun activities (gymnastics, dancing, etc) that I might not otherwise get to do if I had another girl who needed these things. AND it will be so much cheaper to dress C and this new baby similar since boy clothes are also notoriously cheaper. Of course, I would love this little guy with everything in me and once he's here I wouldn't have a single "what if", but it was sort of nice to talk through all of the silly stuff I had had going through my head.

ANYWHO, I looked like utter crap today, so it's just a belly shot this week.

A definite change from 2 weeks ago! Whenever I start worrying about weight gain, I look at these pictures and realize that this sweet baby is indeed growing! I love it!

Hopefully next time I post it will be to inform you (myself) that there is baby kicks!
