15 Weeks-Valentine's Day

DATE: February 14, 2011

How far along:
15 weeks

Total Weight Gained:
All loss so far.

How big is baby? Nugget is 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces. He/She is the size of an apple!

How baby is growing: The air sacs in Nugget's lungs are beginning to develop. The legs are growing longer than the arms now, and Nugget can move all of his/her joints and limbs. Although the eyelids are still fused shut, he/she can sense light. Nugget is also forming taste buds.

Maternity Clothes: No. Regular pants are still loose, and my regular shirts still fit perfectly.

Sleep: I sleep deeply at night, other than waking up to use the bathroom. I'm still having vivid dreams. I'm more tired during the day.

Best Pregnancy Moment of the Week:
Looking at baby stuff while shopping with Dylan and Lexie. We picked out things we need that we can buy now, and I made a list of the things we'll buy after the baby is born.

Movement
: The flutters are getting stronger. I can now feel them when I'm sitting down.

Food Cravings: Nothing.

Food Aversions:
Everything. Still eating because I have to.

Morning Sickness:
Still going strong.

Gender:
Unknown, and not finding out! We've had the names picked out for weeks.

Symptoms:
Nausea morning to night, gagging, vomiting, fatigue, frequent use of the bathroom, and braxton hicks contractions.

Exercise: I've decided to power walk for now. I've been having to take a pee break every 5 minutes while running!

What I miss:
Enjoying the taste of food and feeling normal.

What I'm looking forward to:
Feeling better, and seeing Nugget at the big ultrasound in a few weeks!

We had a great Valentine's Day! Lexie is now registered for Pre-K 4. Dylan had a great party at school and got lots of goodies. The kids had fun playing with their cousins, at my sister's house, while Grant and I went out on a dinner date. We ate at Olive Garden, and had a great time together! When we got home, we gave Dylan and Lexie little presents. The kids went to bed happy, and Grant and I got to spend some more time together. It was a great day!
