How far along? 15 weeks, 3 days
Maternity clothes: A few. For Mother's day we went shopping and got some fun shirts for vacation in a month at the beach when I'll be bigger!
Stretch marks: In the clear, thank goodness. Kind of dreading the day I respond otherwise.
Sleep: Ok, got the body pillow. The problem is, somehow it gets tossed on the floor in the middle of the night (pretty sure by me, not my husband)...so it kind of defeats the purpose. I'm having a really hard time not reverting to my favorite sleeping position, on my back.
Best moment this week: Celebrating my first Mother's Day...the quietest one yet, I'm sure. And talking baby names with Daniel every night. Since we are getting closer to knowing the sex, we are hoping to have names narrowed down. It is hilarious to hear some of his suggestions...and don't even get me started on middle names!
Miss Anything: Lately, I've been forgetting things left and right, so I suppose I miss my pre-baby brain and memory. :)
Movement: Daniel keeps reading about this, because it's almost time to feel something. I have some pains every now and then, and quick flutters that go away before I realize what they are...this could be the baby moving, from what we have read. Can't wait for the feelings to be more recognizable.
Symptoms: So dizzy this week. When I eat, I get full really fast. And, I have the emotional capacity of a rollar coaster. I can laugh at the silliest thing, but the next mintue cry tears that are uncontrollable. It's ridiculous.
Food cravings: Lots of protein. I've been getting my fill of chicken and protein bars, instead of craving the usual dairy and sweets.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Unfortunately, things I used to eat daily, or at least weekly, still make my stomach turn. Since month number two I have not been able to touch yogurt, Chipotle, orange juice, or saltines (probably because that was all I could eat for a few weeks without getting sick in the middle of the day). It's a shame!!
Have you started to show yet: Yes. But, not enough to fill out maternity shirts yet, unless they are the knit scrunchie kind that a non-preggers could get away with wearing. Luckily, when we went shopping for vacation clothes at Motherhood Maternity, they have a velcro pillow to put under the shirts that don't fit just yet to see how you will like it when you are bigger.
Gender: Four more weeks! I still secretly want to take the pee test from CVS...but I would have to hide it from Daniel because he doesn't think it's worth the money. :)
Labor Signs: Do my crazy dreams count? I gave myself an emergency C-section in my car on Route 66 last night. haha
Belly Button in or out?: Still an innie!
Wedding rigns on or off: Still on!
General Mood: Sad, actually. This week, for whatever reason, I need my Uncle Tony. I've cried uncontrollably almost every day missing him and wishing so badly he could see my belly grow because his big heart and huge bear hugs are reason enough to have children in our family. Everything is reminding me of him, and I find it hard to get a grip when I'm in public and think about him (which I did before I got pregnant, but was better at hiding the tears, or sometimes it would even just make me smile). I'm hoping being together with family for vacation in 40 days will help this feeling turn around to happy tears.
Best advice this week: To let the baby do the weight gaining. My mom told me that when she was pregnant with me, nobody told her that you aren't supposed to ACTUALLY eat for two.
Worst advice this week: That wearing high heels through pregnancy will make my baby cross-eyed. Sorry hunny...I'm going to wear them until I can't anymore!
Exercise: Daniel and I went for walks since the weather was so nice. Oh, and we played tennis...or rather, I played tennis because he just kept laughing so hard at how I was running...he said it looked like I was chasing my belly because it would go, then the rest of my body would run after the ball. haha
Looking forward to: Vacation!! Now that my crazy trial calendar is done for April and May, I can take a breather and relax to get ready for fun in the sun with the best family in the world!
