15 Weeks

How far along? 15 weeks 1 day

Total weight gain/loss: Still down 6 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight.

Maternity clothes? Nope, just making sure what I wear is comfortable, not wearing pants that are tight around the waist. My jeans, I still wear them, but I don't button them.

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Sleeping very well, get up about once at night to go to the bathroom, but no real change in my sleeping habits.

Best moment this week: Just enjoying the pregnancy

Movement: nope - I think I may have felt something the other day, but I'm not 100% sure it was the baby, hopefully will be feeling movement soon.

Food cravings/aversions: not really - still loving that salsa

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: nothing

What I am looking forward to: Going out of town this week for Christmas, etc

Weekly Wisdom: just relax - enjoy the pregnancy

Milestones: made it 15 weeks - everything is going great

Symptoms: None really, the tiredness is going away, just waiting for the belly to pop and movement to occur

Maternity clothes? No, I did get 2 maternity camisoles; and I really like them, they are longer, which is exactly what I need.

Movement: nope

Food cravings/aversions: not really - but the other day I did finish off a little cup of salsa with a fork b/c I ran out of chips, and I couldn't let perfectly good salsa go to waste.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: nothing

What I am looking forward to: Dr appointment on Monday

Weekly Wisdom: tell everyone face to face - it's great to see people's reactions when you tell them you are pregnant. I was in a mtg the other day, and we hadn't started yet, and were talking about Bigge.st Los.er. They were talking about how they will be starting it back up for our floor in Jan. I laughed and said something to the effect of I couldn't join them, a few knew what I meant, but one lady didn't know, and she asked 'why'. I just plainly said that I was pregnant - she nearly flipped out - it was great.

Milestones: getting out of that first trimester - only 2 more to go - but also knowing that the risk of miscarriage is very low at this point (even though it doesn't stop me from the occasional worry)

Symptoms: Tiredness, and eating random foods - like a little bit ago I had some pickled okra and bread & butter pickles.... what is it with pregnant women and pickles??? Seriously, if I wasn't pregnant I would have gone for the bag of chocolate bars sitting on the counter.
