15 Weeks



How far along15 Weeks 5 days
Baby Length:  approximately 4 inches
Baby Weight:  almost 2 1/2 ounces
Baby is the size of an:  Apple
Weight gain/loss: up 2.5 lbs since pre-pregnancy (130 lbs to 132.5 lbs).  Somehow I've managed to put on 4 or 5 lbs in the past week and a half.  I don't feel like much is baby though - I'm mostly pregnant in my butt and thighs.
Maternity clothes? I received another donation from my friend Brie, so my maternity inventory keeps growing.  Not wearing any of them yet...but I do feel like I'm getting closer to that point.  I was in Boston for work this week working a conference and all of my suit pants are so tight and uncomfortable!
Stretch marks? Not yet.  Still lathering up with lotion nonstop.  Using a mix of Mustela and Palmer's Cocoa Butter.
Sleeping? Still not sleeping great.  I wake up about 3 times a night to pee, and then I spend the rest of the time tossing and turning.  I bought a big body pillow which seems to provide some relief - I tried the Snoogle Pregnancy Pillow I got from Brie and I must not be big enough yet because its not really comfortable.  I also order the Crane Drop humidifier and tried it one night.  I feel like I woke up more congested and coughing after using it.
Best moment this week: Telling my boss and coworkers that I was pregnant!  It was a huge relief to feel like people can know and support me now.  I found out one of my coworkers is due exactly 2 weeks before I am!
Miss anything? I miss having a glass of wine (or 2!) at the end of the day.  Happy hour was something that Jake and I really enjoyed together to unwind at the end of the day.  I also miss sushi (tuna/avocado rolls) and soft cheeses.
Feel any movement? Nope.
Food cravings: No new food cravings this week, although I did eat steak 2 times.  Which is more than I had eaten steak in the previous 15 years before pregnancy!  I'm not sure what changes when pregnant, but meat sounds and tastes so good!
Anything making you queasy or sick: A  bit dizzy but not really nausea at all this week.
Gender? Still not sure if we will find out or not.  I'm really leaning toward waiting for the surprise at birth.
Labor SignsNo
Symptoms: Some cramping this week, fatigue, bloated and constipated all the time.  Fun, huh?
Belly Button? In
Wedding rings? On
Happy or Moody? Being on my feet working at a conference all week with very little sleep has made me a bit bitchy this week.  And on top of that the fire alarm went off at the hotel at 2 am one of the nights and then I couldn't go back to sleep after so that night was basically a waste.
Looking forward toSelling our house and moving into a new house.  And never dealing with a realtor again.  Ever.
