How far along? 15 weeks + 4 days
Baby is the size of a: Navel Orange
Total weight gain: 5 lbs 🤷🏼♀️ So excited to finally have energy back to get back to my gym routine!
Maternity clothes? Just got some. Santa brought me some as well as my Nanny and PawPaw!! They are still a little big but at the rate of my growing tummy, they will fit in no time!
Stretch marks? No! Soaking down in lotion daily!
Sleep: Ahhh I can’t seem to get comfy most nights But it’s okay.
Best moment this week: this entire week I was thinking I was about to be 14 weeks. Thank God for these handy dandy apps to keep me in check. I was so excited to be a week closer to meeting baby!!
Movement: I feel little flutters every now and then but no real action yet! So ready for it.
Food cravings: Pizza for every single meal and I must have one glass of unsweetened tea every day!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing except for weird smells! Like cold food out of the fridge. Ugh no thanks!!
Have you started to show yet: Yes! I’m so short waisted I have no where for the baby to grow except for outward.
Gender prediction: I really have no inclination at all. Cannot wait to find out though!
Belly Button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Happy or Moody most of the time: oh Happy for sure!! There have been a few times where I’ve felt overwhelmed from the holidays but that’s about it.
Health Update: The last doctors visit, which was at the beginning of December, my blood pressure was a little high again for the 3rd visit in a row. So, the doc decided to have me take baby aspirin daily. Hoping that our next visit, blood pressure will be exactly where its supposed to be so we don't have to worry about that anymore. I finally have gained my energy back and have slowly started getting back into my gym routine. Last week I started back with a good leg workout and I could feel the pain for days and I was only using mainly body weight for the exercise or 5 to 10lb weights. So nothing extreme. As far as food health, well thats a different story. I eat like a 3 year old. Give me a grilled cheese, cheese quesadilla, or pizza and I'm a happy camper! This is something I really need to work on hard. Drinking water has been an issue as well. This isn't anything new and Aaron will tell you that. He's constantly harping on me to drink some water. I would rather drink unsweet tea instead! Is that so bad haha. We should also be able to find out what little baby's gender is at the end of January! We are counting down the days and are SO ready to find out!
Thanks for reading :) I will update weekly so stay tuned!
