Week 15


How far along: 15 weeks
How big is baby: The size of an apple! Which is pretty cool because I've been eating one almost everyday lol.
Total weight gain: I'm going to guess about 5-6 pounds?  
Maternity clothes: Not yet, but I'm still living in my stretchy pants.
Stretch marks: Not yet, but I'm currently drying off from soaking my upper thighs and belly with lotion.
Sleep: It's awful.  Unfortunately I toss and turn a lot which keeps Ryan awake sometimes too.  I'm lucky that I have time before work to rest up so I'm not grumpy Miss Danielle.
Best moment of the week: Anniversary weekend with my hubs! 
Food aversions: None yet.
Food cravings: No cravings lately, actually.  
Symptoms:  My hips are starting to hurt again, which is probably why my pants slide on easily but don't always button as easily lol.
Movement: Little flutters here and there. Ryan can feel it a little from the outside, but he's holding his excitement until he feels the baby kick.
Belly Button in or out: In
What I’m looking forward to: At this point, I'm really excited to find out the gender. I've felt the movements, started to see the baby grow...now it's time to know what's in there! I think once I find out, the pregnancy will start to fly by...I hope so any way :p
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: Happy!
What I miss: Sleeping comfortably.

Week 14



How far along: 14 weeks
How big is baby: 3.5 inches...the size of a lemon! I've only seen my belly look the size of a lemon once during this pregnancy.  It was right when I woke up and I was laying on my back.  Every morning, I wake up and look down to see if it's popping out again.  No luck so far :p
Total weight gain: Still have no idea how much I started out as, or how much I weigh now.  It's something my Dr. probably wants me to track (knowing his obsession with weight gain lol) but I'll just eat what I need and let him worry about it. 
Maternity clothes: No, but they sound VERY comfortable right now...leotards and tights and leggings aren't easy when you have to use the restroom in between every class lol.
Stretch marks: Not yet...I'm using my coconut oil, lotion and body wash.  And I've got plenty of bio oil on hand if necessary!
Sleep: Can't I just sleep all day? I am so tired. All. The. Time. 
Best moment of the week: Feeling stronger movements from baby.  I felt baby move a little last week, but definitely moving around a lot lately!
Food aversions: Not that I can think of right now.  I'm not going to try too hard on this one ;)
Food cravings: SWEET POTATO FRIES!  Oh man, Mike's Grillhouse has the best sweet potato fries ever.  I think for our anniversary dinner this week, I'm going to have a special request :)
Symptoms:  I'm tired all the time.  I pee all the time.  
Movement: Yes! I'm not too anxious for the movements to get stronger though because that means it's closer to hurting my ribs lol.
Belly Button in or out: In
What I’m looking forward to: Finding out the gender!! We were considering going to the 3d/4d place, but I think since it's only a week earlier than our regular appt, we'll wait until then. Save $75...if we can be patient lol.  
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: Happy and excited
What I miss: Having energy!!
