15 Weeks

*How far along? 15 weeks 6 days
*How big is baby? This week the babies are as big as an orange.
*Genders? Unknown – I haven’t really had any feelings one way or another yet.
*Total weight gain? My appetite has actually increased a little more this week – I believe I am up around 4-5 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight, we will see if that is on-track with what the doctor would like at my appointment tomorrow.
*Maternity Clothes? I am trying to get as much use out of my pre-pregnancy jeans as possible (they still fit just fine in the butt & legs) – however I am down to only 2 pair that I can still wear comfortably with my “be band”. I’m pretty sure I’ll be making the switch to maternity pants in the next week or so.
*Stretch marks? None yet – keeping my fingers crossed!
*Sleep? OK – I get up a couple times a night to go to the bathroom but other than that I can’t complain too much yet.
*Movement? None yet, but hopefully starting soon!
*Food cravings? No strong ”pregnancy” cravings yet...there are foods that sound really good to me at times, but there hasn't been anything I HAD to have.
*Labor signs? None.
*Belly button in or out? Still in – it should stay this way for awhile.
*What I miss? Staying up past 7-8 PM on the weekends – although it does seem like I’m losing a bit of that “first-trimester tiredness” (which hit me really hard).
*What I am looking forward to? Doctor’s appointment tomorrow for a few tests & to hear the babies’ heartbeats again! (I will post updates after my appointment tomorrow.)
*Best moment this week? Valentine’s gifts from my sweet, sweet husband. We decided not to do anything “big” this year for gifts but he still got me a single red rose, Reese’s chocolates (my favorite!), a stuffed teddy bear (he’s gotten me one every year since we’ve been together) and a card that were from him. He also bought me some small potted tulips (my favorite flower!) from the “babies” – it was super sweet!!
