14/15 Weeks.

How far along? 15 weeks 5 days.

Total weight gain: Unsure as I haven't weighed myself since my doctor's appointment at 13 weeks.

Baby Bump: I can certainly see and feel my little bump and Chris has noticed it too. But most people are oblivious. A lot of my clients look at me in disbelief when I tell them I'm 4 months pregnant. 

Maternity clothes?  Sometimes! I bought a pair of skinny jeans from Old Navy's maternity line. They are comfortable but still a bit big so I have to keep pulling them up throughout the day. I also bought a few shirts from Gap maternity that were on sale but haven't worn those yet. Most of my clothes still fits but definitely feels tighter.       

Sleep: This week is way better than last week. I am congested so I have to sleep with my head raised but at least I am able to sleep. Last week was awful, the anxiety/stress was consuming my dreams and thoughts.                  

Best moment this week:  Hearing that everything was normal from the nurse. Words cannot express the relief I felt at that moment. Since the Verifi test looks at the baby's chromosomes, we were able to find out the sex of our little gummy bear!!! [More on that to follow in another post]

Miss Anything?  Breathing normally. I am on my 4th cold/cough since December....I'm not used to being sick so often.            

Movement:  Not yet.       

Food cravings:  I'm still loving chips/white cheddar popcorn, fruit and greek yogurt. Cold cereal, especially frosted mini wheats. It's high in iron so that's a plus! I have been better with eating more balanced meals and cooking at home.

Exercise: Well, exercise took a back seat last week while I was worried sick. I did manage a few cardio sessions and a few Jillian Michael's dvds. This week is better, Chris and I took advantage of the "mild" winter weather and ran outside yesterday. Just 2 short miles but it felt amazing!

Symptoms:  Feeling pretty good. I still have some nausea but my biggest complaint is being congested. I think I am going to be one of the women who is congested the entire pregnancy.  

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Car rides, meat

Baby purchases: Since we found out the sex I bought a few outfits for gummy bear. They are SO cute. I cannot wait to see our little peanut in the clothes. And baby shoes, oh my gosh. Chris told me I needed to stop spending money on baby clothes....I'll try. Now that we know the sex I have started to visualize the nursery- I can't wait to see how it will turn out!       

Looking forward to:  Getting a real baby bump :)

Goals for the week: Have an uneventful 16 week check-up at the doctor on Monday.
