A little behind...week 15

I have been busy/lazy/tired so I have not blogged in awhile.  From now on I am going to make more of a conscious effort to blog at least once a week.  I am going to start something new on the weekly blog, which I think will help me to stay motivated in blogging.  I am going to start doing pregnancy highlights and updates.  So here goes...
Pregnancy Updates
How Far Along: 15 weeks 6 days
Total Weight Gain: I would say about 5 pounds, I do not get on the scale everyday, so this might not be a consistent update
Maternity Clothes: Yes, for the most part.  I can still wear some 'normal' shirts but the bottoms are where I have issues. 
Favorite Moment This week: Getting the nursery cleared out and cleaned. 
Gender: Not known, yet...
Movement: None that I know of yet. 
Food Cravings: Eggo Waffles, all fruit, chocolate covered raisins
What I miss: Running.  And, walking, with the weather being hot I have not felt comfortable going for a walk outside.  I could go in the basement and walk on the treadmill but I don't like walking on treadmills, only running.
Sleep: I have been having a hard time falling asleep the past few nights.  Once I get to sleep I sleep for about 2 hours before I have to get up and use the restroom, then the vicious cycle starts all over again-I can't fall asleep and then when I do I only sleep for 2 hours before it's time to use the potty again. 
What I am looking forward to: My 16 week appointment tomorrow and ultrasound.  For those that do not know-I had to have surgery on my cervix back in 2007 so now that I am pregnant I have to get ultrasounds every 2 weeks starting at 16 weeks until 24 weeks, to check on my cervix to make sure it is holding the baby/uterus and is not starting to open.  I am a little nervous for tomorrow, as I hope everything is alright with my cervix, but I am excited to see the baby and excited that I get to see the baby every 2 weeks for awhile!
Symptoms: Some days in the afternoons I start to feel nauseous and really tired.  It is not every day like it used to be, thank goodness! I think I am starting to have round ligament pain in my lower stomach.  Other than that I am feeling great!!

Well, that is the update for week 15, but unfortunately there is no picture to accompany the update.  I am going to try to get better on that too, and I will!! Have a great day and try to stay cool-this heat is crazy..too early for this!!

  1. I didn't realize you were expecting, so congratulations! I can empathize with the ups and downs you are going through- totally missed running too, but nursery decorating is so fun to think about! After two kids I keep forgetting taht I can start running again. :) Good luck with your appt.s and the next months ahead!
