Week 15--awesome avocado


Along: 15w0d
Size of baby: Sweet Pea is the size of an avocado--one of my favorite foods!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I'm still guessing around 5-6 lbs. I go to the doctor later next week, and we'll see for sure!
Maternity Clothes: Love love love them! Sweet Britni gave me a GIANT tub of her maternity clothes this week and really filled out my wardrobe. She had her first baby at the end of July a few years ago, so she was pregnant through the summer heat like I will be. She loaned me lots of great school pants/dresses/skirts, and a lot of comfortable tops that will be perfect when it's hot. I nabbed a few more things online this week (maxi dresses--LOVE THEM!) too. Shopping for new clothes is always fun, even if they have empire seams and elastic waistbands--scratch that, ESPECIALLY if they have empire seams and elastic waistbands.
Gender: I still think girl, and now Chance has started to think boy. Maybe he's just trying to be contrary. :) We're planning to have a gender reveal party at the end of this month, which will be a very fun way to announce when we finally know!
Movement: I'm ready for this! Not feeling movement yet, but I'm trying to be very "in tune" with my belly so that I can tell when something feels different.
Sleep: Sorely lacking this week... TAKS for my kids was Wednesday, so we hit the last few days of stress at school, and it kept me up late and up early. Plus, my cup of milk with a straw right before bed does nothing for promoting a solid, uninterrupted night's sleep, ha.
What I miss: Nothing really this week. I have felt overwhelmingly fortunate and blessed in the last 2 weeks. I feel great, I think I look great, and I'm just happy!
Cravings: Milk, as always. Chinese food was an intense craving this week. Baked Lays have tasted really good this week too.
Symptoms: Like I said earlier, I have felt great lately. No symptoms, good or bad.
Best moment of the week: Finishing TAKS, breathing a sigh of relief and knowing that a well-deserved, much-needed Spring Break is around the corner!
Looking forward to: Spring Break!! A week with not many plans to sleep, watch movies, get a mani/pedi, have lunch with friends, and take a road trip to New Braunfels with some college girlfriends. This week couldn't be more needed!
