Kelly Belly-15 weeks

How Far Along: 15 weeks!!!!!!!!

Size of Baby: size of a navel orange or a small apple...



Maternity Clothes:  Not yet but most of my clothes do not fit, especially my jeans.  I went out for girls night on Wednesday and made the mistake of wearing my jeans.  When I put them on I thought they were ok....comfortable.  I forgot to take into consideration that I was going to be sitting down all night!  They came unbuttoned pretty quick!  I need to go shopping for myself like right now....



Weight Gain:  up 2 pounds.  I haven't weighed since my dr appointment which was two weeks ago.  I am sure I have gained more but I don't trust my scale at home :)

Stretch Marks:  just the same as before pregnancy.  I have noticed my boobs itching quite a bit lately so I have been lathering up all the time with lotion.  I am using Palmer's Cocoa Butter.  I like it but it does leave me feeling kinda sticky.  I am sure I will get stretch marks on my boobs at some point.  I didn't really have much to work with!

Sleep: sore subject!  I still haven't gotten a body or pregnancy pillow!  We have had some MAJOR storms and tornadoes here this week and some of them were in the middle of the night so not much sleep for me even if I was comfortable.  

Best Moment of the Week: Well, honestly, the best thing this week was that our house, our families, and friends were saved from the tornadoes that that rocked our state.  There is a lot of destruction and some lost lives.  It was very scary and I am just thankful that we were spared.  I will try to post some pics in my pics of the week post coming up.   

Movement: not yet but I am excited to feel it!

Symptoms: I feel great most of the time.  I am still tired but I can tell that I am getting a little more energy.  I only take a nap a couple of times a week instead of every day!  I would say my main symptom is headaches.  They are pretty kick ass!  I have them about every other day.  Sometimes when I get them I need to eat even though I am not hungry and that will help.  Sometimes I just need to nap and that will help.  Oh, and round ligament pain.  That has kicked up this week....mostly on the left side.  I feel it when I change positions too fast but mostly at night when I am laying on my side.  Weird....but cool at the same time!

Food Cravings/Aversions: Still loving the Simply Lemonade.  I am also having a hard time not eating like three ice cream sandwiches a day.  I want them all the time!  I also want chicken spaghetti for dinner every night.  

Gender: Hmmmmm......we shall see :)

What I Miss: not a thing this week!

What I'm Looking Forward to: everything really!  Sometimes I just can't believe that this is happening.  I mean I am 15 weeks pregnant!  I am starting to look pregnant.  My boobs are huge (for me anyway).  I just love everything about it and I cherish every single day.  

Weekly Wisdom:  This is going to be way too much info but, ya know, if I can help a girl out I want to!  If you feel the need to poo.....DO IT!  Don't hold back because, trust me, you do not want to be constipated!  It sucks!

Milestones: Well 15 weeks feels like a major milestone.  Baby boo is getting so big!



Dreams: My dreams are so weird but I like that I am documenting them because otherwise I found NEVER remember!  And it is kinda funny :)
1)  I was Mario (as in Mario and Luigi) and I had to save Florence (from Florence + The Machine).  I had to go through all of the levels and just when I though I had found her they would whisk her away and I had to go through the underwater world to save her....or the quicksand world...or the ice world....
2)  I was in labor in my bedroom.  I was going to have a home birth.  All of my family and friends were in the living room and not allowed in the bedroom.  My mom's friend Beth, who was my wedding coordinator, was my labor coordinator.  It was weird....I just remember rolling around on the bed telling my husband that I didn't want a home birth and I wanted to go to the hospital!


I decided to do a comparison photo this week.  
  

       This was two weeks ago at 13 weeks.....

And this is today at 15 weeks!  Wow!  I love it!

I keep telling myself I am going to take my pictures when I am dressed up and of my whole body but I haven't been getting dressed up!  

Thanks for reading!  I won an award and I'll be blogging about that soon....as well as my pics of the week post.....
