How far along? 15 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: I think I doubled last month's weight gain on Super Bowl Sunday alone. My appetite is showing strong signs of returning!
(15 weeks, 2 days)Maternity clothes? I'm going to have to start wearing them soon. Pants are getting tighter, shirts are getting shorter.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Best moment this week: Not feeling sick every day.
Symptoms: Shortness of breath, RLP, headaches.
Movement: I'm still waiting for more convincing movements from Baby. I have been getting to the gym a bit more, too.
Food cravings: Last week I was stocking yarn at my part-time job and saw a yellow baby yarn. The color was named "Lemon Custard." I instantly wanted lemon custard, lemon anything. I also was struck by a strong craving for orange juice. I ended up at the grocery store and bought lemon yogurt, fruit, orange juice and a freezer meal with lemon pepper fish.
On a related note: I found this extremely funny because last week baby was the size of a lemon. And after we heard the heartbeat and the baby had kicked the doppler, Tim said, "Lemons can't kick!" I explained that the baby was the SIZE of a lemon, but has limbs and body parts like a baby, so it *could* kick.
Aversions: Water. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I used to drink a substantial amount of water. Since I got pregnant, water tastes awful. I have forced myself to drink it, sometimes flavoring it, sometimes mixing in juices to get more fluids in, but I'm struggling to drink as much as I used to. I'm hoping that ends soon.
Gender? I still think it's a girl. Which means it's probably a boy. We'll find out in three weeks!
Sleep: It's been getting better.
What I miss: I miss running. I still "run" in intervals with walking on the treadmill, but it's definitely not for endurance or speed anymore, and that used to be a great stress reliever for me.
What I am looking forward to: I've recently received some books on parenting/babies/etc., and I'm looking forward to reading more. (Despite the fact that some are super overwhelming.) We're also registering for our childbirth education classes in the next few days.
Weekly Wisdom: Again, everybody has some.
Milestones: Not feeling like crap every day was monumental for me.
