15 Weeks


Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 15 Weeks, 2 Days
Size of baby: 4 to 5 inches, 3 to 5 ounces; avocado
Total Weight Gain: 0
Maternity Clothes: I can still wear my normal jeans and clothes.  I have to were a be band with most of my work pants though because they won't button!
Gender: Unknown.  And we do not want to find out.  Feel free to tell us we are crazy, but we will continue to do it our way.  :)
Movement: Haven't felt anything yet.  My books say give it till 20 weeks or so.
Sleep: I miss being able to sleep on my stomach.  And I have some crazy dreams, crazier than my normal ones!
Symptoms: Still having morning (all day) sickness at least one or two days a week, but this has drastically improved over the last few weeks.  Fatigue has also improved.  Dizziness and shortness of breath are my two new friends.  Hopefully they will subside soon!
Food Cravings/Aversions:  No cravings so far, I have been having to remind myself to eat.  I currently have aversions to coffee and chocolate.  Dark chocolate in particular, which I usually love, is disgusting to me.  Every time I eat a caesar salad I wind up seeing it again.  Not sure if that is an aversion since I still want to eat them, but the baby definitely does not approve.   
What I am looking forward to: Increased energy during this trimester and the end of morning sickness for good!

So excited for you! My youth leader and his wife didn't find out the gender with any of their 4 children and she couldn't have loved it more.

When's your due date?
