How far along?
15 weeks
Cravings? Nothing crazy. I think all those stories you hear about
weird cravings are largely false, from what I’ve been reading. No pickles
and ice cream topped with sardines for this gal.
Symptoms? I’ll spare you the details of my tummy troubles.
Looking
forward to? finding out the sex of the baby! I try
so hard to say "the baby" rather than "it" but it would be
nice to say "he" or "she".
Exercise? walking, light weights but hoping to get back to my
running this week and perhaps some yoga or Pilates
Gender? Don’t
know yet, but can’t wait!!
Weight Gain? 7
pounds
Stretch marks? None
yet, but drowning myself in lotion just in case
Size of the little one? The books say 3.5 inches, about the size of a lemon.
However, at our sonogram last week Baby M was about 4.5 inches!
Maternity clothes? Haven't had to buy any yet and most of my pants
are still fitting; although I did buy a belly band for some of them. Thank
goodness leggings are in style right now! And lucky for me since my sister had
a baby last year I get lots of hand-me-down maternity wear.
Sleep? Good
so far minus the waking up in the middle of the night for bathroom trips. But I
am SO tired all the time that if I don’t get 9 hours I’m dying.
Miss Anything? Obviously, cocktails and wine. I’m not going to lie,
this is hard. Especially with happy hours and winery season coming up! Also,
deli meat. I love sandwiches! And running. Because I’ve been so tired, it’s
hard for me to get up in the morning for my daily run. And then by the time I
get home from work I’m about to pass out! Hoping this will change in the next
week or so.
Belly button? Still
in.
Best Moment this week? still just taking it all in. I checked out more baby books
from the library and it's just so amazing, a miracle, that this life can grow
inside my tummy!
Attempting
to keep it together 24/7,
Elizabeth
