15 Weeks

Holy Pregnant! I am definitly feeling pregnant lately. Baby grows and inch every week now so my belly is getting hard and expanding. Baby is now measuring 4 inches, about the size of an apple :) I have had ups and downs, somedays i feel great and cleaning and cooking and running around, other days i feel like i just drank a 12pk the night before. Went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago was having achy pains in my pelvic area they tested me for an infection which came back negative, checked for a heartbeat which was strong @ 158 bpm, checked my cervix it was closed... then he told me im experiencing Round ligament pain, which means that the ligament and tendons that hold the uterus is stretching which conflicts pain down there, Well yesterday it was Horrible i felt like i couldn't even walk at times! Its also sometimes scary cuz you feel like something is wrong, but no its just my uterus stretching getting ready for our growing baby :)

So we made our first big purchase which was our car seat and stroller, I really wanted a 3 wheeled stroller so i can rollerblade or jog after the baby is born, Its supposed to be alot more flexible that way! No it is not a gender specific color, it is actually BLK & White, we both love it and for most things we are going gender nuetral so when we decide to have another we can use it again :) We decided to buy one big item a month so we dont' have to buy everything all at once, next on our list is probaly the monitors which are really neat now a days love how they have the screen so you can see the baby and put the camera on the crib! ahh technology these days makes me soo happy.... :)

I had some inspiration this week and sketched out how i want the nursery! Never knew i was such a good designer, Brian loves it and thinks its a great idea... Soo mommy is very happy.

My 16 week appt is on Wednesday, the usual pee, check for heartbeat, BP, ask how im doing. This time though im getting sent for bloodwork (like i haven't gave them enough already) But around this time they check for cystic fibrosis - which last time was negative, dosen't run in either or our families, and then they check for the down syndrome gene, I don't think we should have a problem with that either. BUT THE BEST PART OF the appt is that I get to schedule our 20 week ultrasound!!!! Which actually will probaly take place right at 19 weeks because i start school back full time week 20. WHICH MEANS....... we will soon know if baby weiner is a BOY or a GIRL :) we also get to make sure all the anatomy has formed, the liver, kidneys, fingers, toes, the 4 chambers of the heart, the measurments, the brain! So that will be a very exciting visit! So about 4 more weeks :)

I will post some belly pics next week, i want to get just a little bigger so its more noticeable :) Until then.....

How far along? 15 Weeks!!!!
Total weight gain/loss: 0 back to where i was pre-pregnancy

Maternity clothes? well not official maternity clothes but bigger shorts, my pants and jean shorts no longer fit my belly :( So i basically live in comfy clothes and two pairs of new shorts i bought :) 
Sleep: Better, when i don't have to get up and pee every 2 hrs.
Best moment this week: getting engergy, i have been walking and lifting weights
Movement: yes!!! slight flutters, no kicking but slight flutters its such a cool feeling
Food cravings: Sour gummie life savers have been my constant craving, also strawberry yogurt, peaches, veggies and grapefruit!
Anything making you queasy or sick: CHICKEN! I still can't eat it!
Have you started to show yet: Yuppers! I got me a bump ;)
Gender prediction: I don't know, all the old wives tales point to GIRL so we shall see
Labor Signs: n/a
Belly Button in or out? in
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy but VERY EMOTIONAL i cry at everything, I get spurts of frustration, for some reason the dogs have made me lose my patience a few times
(i know who would of thought)
Looking forward to:  Wednesday, so i can hear my nuggets heartbeat again! it always makes me feel good and puts my mind at ease! Also being able to schedule my 20 week ultrasound, then we will know the definite day we find out if its a boy or girl!!!!!!!
