15 Weeks
15 weeks is craziness!!!! I'm still doing pretty good. I've gotten lots more use of the belly band. I am having some trouble with missing Artie. I know that sounds pretty stupid, but I don't want to leave him in the morning, and I want to be with him when he's home. I know we all want that of our husbands, but this seems to be more than that. It's hard to explain though! Other than that though I'm doing still doing good. Slightly more emotional than before. Although I used to cry at sad and happy things, it seems that it happens much more often now.
Artie's birthday was this past weekend and it was probably the best weekend I've had in a really long time. (Isn't that supposed to be my birthday weekend?) lol! On Friday night we went to watch our niece ride in a bike race where Artie works. It was so much fun. She speeds around the corners, sees you and then kinda slows down with a cute face as if she's posing for you! Then speeds up once she's past you! We might need to teach her about competition when she gets older :-) Not really, she is so much fun to watch though. On Saturday, Artie's birthday, we both tried to sleep in, but by 7:30 both of us were wide awake. We enjoyed a restful morning and then went for a bike ride together. It was great, we went on the trails by our house and rode for almost two hours. Then after lunch I took a nice long three hour nap! Yep, I can do that since I'm pregnant! :-) We went out to dinner for Artie's birthday, went to Dave and Busters (got free $10 play cards for doing a survey), and then went to see the movie Harry Potter. It was a later showing, 10:00 pm, but we were the ONLY ones in the theater. It was fun! We would whisper to each other and then say, "why are we whispering?" Sunday was relaxing with not much during the day and a birthday party at night. Monday I had off from school so I got errands done and chores around the house completed. Overall, it was a nice weekend!
Well, here's my weekly quiz update.
15 Week Quiz
How far along: 15 weeks today
Weight gain: I actually didn't weigh myself on the scale this morning I was rushing to get to work. I'll do it tomorrow and make sure I post it on here.
Maternity clothes: Definitely using the belly band much more often. I can still wear most of my clothes though. I have started to wear some baggier tops and that seems to work pretty well too.
Stretch marks: Cocoa butter, I hope it works!
Sleep: Ehh.. sleeping is okay although I do get up, but I can feel that it's getting harder to sleep on my stomach and I shouldn't be sleeping on my side. Got a body pillow I think I'm going to start using.
Best moment of the week: The weekend that I got to spend with my husband!
Movement: According to books I'm supposed to begin feeling movement in the next few weeks. I have had some stretching feelings from the inside, but that's about it.
Food cravings: I don't know if I mentioned this, but Cheese Its at 11:15 are a must. I did really want Bonefish Grill this weekend (so I took Artie there for his birthday)
Gender: I have no clue... I could be having a girl or a boy. We don't know and won't find out!
Labor signs: No!
Belly button in or out: Still in.
What I miss: I miss feeling okay to leave for work without struggling to leave.
What I'm looking forward to: We have our next appointment in one week and I am excited for that.
Weekly wisdom: Love on your hubby whenever you can! He needs it too!
Milestones: Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.")
