15 Weeks

 

Baby is the size of an orange.

It's hard to believe my baby is the size of an orange!  Of course by the time it's the size of a cantelope, I might be wishing it was back to this size.

This week we did not end up going to the doctor yet due to a conflict in Matt's work schedule, but we are set to go in on Monday morning.  I am looking forward to it.

As far as symptoms go, I am sad to report that my morning sickness came back - but mostly in the evenings.  Not sure if this is just due to a growth spurt or what, but I liked the couple weeks where the nausea went away.

I have also been having nose bleeds.  Not really a full on bleed, but there is a large amount of blood in the tissue when I blow my nose.  I have been a little congested, as well.

I'm still having hunger pangs and have a hard time determining whether I need food or need to throw up.  So my remedy is to just be eating constantly so I don't feel anything.  Haha!  Speaking of getting fat, I have gained a total of 4 pounds so far.  Not bad!

A coworker of mine is due with her first baby a month before me, and she just found out the gender this week.  That was very exciting and made me feel like this is a bit more real.

No real cravings or aversions to food this week besides a dire need for carbonated beverages.  I can't tell you how good a fountain Pepsi or Coke tastes sometimes.  Mmm...

I haven't felt any movement or flutters yet, but when I lay down at night I try really hard to see if I feel anything.  I can't wait til that happens!
