This was taken the first day we were going to look at cribs!! :)
Week 15 is here!!
I cannot believe it! We're halfway through the 'teens'! This past week has actually been pretty good! My nausea is really subsiding, but I do still get that occasional bout of it and just wanna lay down. I get some bad backaches after being on my feet for a long time at work and headaches are pretty frequent. After eating, I get some reflux, and some heart palpitations...no fun. Daryl really does try to help me all he can...always asks if he can get me anything! So sweet :)
We signed Daryl up for summer classes at Longwood this week, and he starts on Mon, May 23!! So proud <3
So, I do keep getting little flutters, sort of like 'popcorn' or 'a fish flapping', down low in my abdomen!! I just say "Keep onnnnn, keeping on, 'lil baby!!" I can't WAIT to feel that first little kick! People have definitely started noticing my lil belly...I love it! I wore my maternity capris out for the first time this week and LOVED them! The belly pokes out, but hey...no more hiding it! I don't just look fat anymore, it actaully looks like a baby bump!! I have my 16 week appt during this week, so I will see ya at week 16!! :)
**How far along? 15 weeks
**Total weight gain/loss: + 9-10-ish lbs..still fluctuates depending on the day...I gained 5lbs by my first appt at week 9 (wowww), so by 15 weeks, I am happy where I am at. Gaining pretty steady now!!
**How Big is Baby? 4 inches crown to rump, about 2.5 ounces! (A naval orange, or softball!)
