15 weeks
How far along? 15 Weeks
Maternity clothes? I wore my first pair of maternity jeans on Sunday. They were a little big but they were so much more comfortable that my regular jeans with the belly band. Hello for jeans feeling like yoga pants! Now if only I could find pants for work that don't look like they are from 1970. I've been to 2 used stores and struck out at both locations. I think I'll have to suck it up and purchase new work pants at a real maternity store. Blah. I really don't want to spend the money but at the same time, if I can find work pants that look like nice work pants but FEEL like yoga pants, I might pay any amount. And at this rate, I might give away my prized possessions if I could find a bra that fits but that's another story also.
Have you started to show yet: It depends on what I'm wearing. I think I look smaller in this week's picture than I did last week. It also depends on the day. Sometimes it looks a lot more obvious. Also, as the day progresses, I swear I get bigger. Morning time, not so big. End of the day? I feel very round.
Symptoms: Heartburn, sore hips, crazy low back pain and a couple random nose bleeds. That's fun.
Activity: I'm still struggling with this. I got in that one lame workout and that's in. :( Part of the problem? I don't have any races on the calendar. When I'm not training for a race, I tend to fall off the wagon. I might have to make up a race and schedule my workouts so I'm "forced" to get back at it. A co-worker said she's train and do a "fake" race with me. I may just have to take her up on that.
Best moment this week: Realizing I have something the size of a naval orange....on the other side of my naval. I'm easily amused. According to the internet, baby is about 4 inches long and about the size of a naval orange. We also went to a cloth diapering class that was great. I think we are going to give it a try! Spending $1500 vs. $4500 from birth to potty training sounds pretty smart to me.
Miss Anything? Sleep....I've had some CRAZY dreams this week that have woken me up. I also miss being able to go more than an hour between trips to pee. This is proving extra challenging this week as I am traveling for work and forced to sit through crazy long meetings...meetings in which I'm supposed to be taking the notes. It's hard to take notes from the bathroom.
Movement: Not that I've noticed.
Food cravings: Luckily some healthier things have come back to my radar. We were in Whole Foods on Saturday intending to pick up one thing...until I got sight of the produce and then I NEEDED every fresh fruit in the place. $60 later we had a obscene amount of fruit for 2 people. It was a carb heavy dinner that night. I also ate my weight in strawberries on Monday night. That's better than eating my weight in salt and vinegar potato chips I supposed.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing specific but I will get some random wave of nausea. Luckily it usually passes quickly.
Gender: Don't know yet...should find out in April though.
Looking forward to: Feeling the baby move, finding pants that fit and I can wear to work! Finding a sports bra that fits so I don't have a "containment failure" as The Pilot would say.
What I am NOT looking forward to: Growing more and more uncomfortable. I'm already not sleeping through the night because of random aches and trips to the bathroom.
Milestones: We picked a day care....probably one of the hardest decisions we've had to make since we found out I was pregnant. Of course you don't want to spend an arm and a leg but you also don't want to leave your kid with someone not so great just because it's cheaper. Except for one day a week...we opted for some free child care. My mom. Luckily she works for hugs and baby kisses. And my brother and I are productive members of society so I trust her. ;)
