Toooootally missed the 15 week update so I'm going to try and bang one out now (we're 16 weeks + 1 days today!) but I literally just got home from spending the past few days out of town and the apartment is a disaster so this'll be short and sweet. :)
How far along: Belatedly 15 weeks
Size of baby: Lemon!
Physical symptoms:
Bloated (but I was eating matzah all week for Passover, which also has that effect). Slightly less sensitive to smells, slightly less
"gaggy", MUCH less nauseous. Headaches (I think that might be due to alleriges). Stuffy nose. Restless legs at night, really having trouble getting comfortable and falling asleep (pillow between my legs is most successful but still not great). Also, what I guess is round ligament pains whenever I move/stand up/turn/etc too quickly or whatever.
Weight gain/loss: The scale is still out of batteries! Oops!
Maternity clothes: Not yet! Holding out!
Stretch marks: I don't think so...
Sleep:
I'm exhausted- I have a lot
of trouble falling asleep, and I can't really stay asleep for more than
6-7 hours and like I just said there's the restless legs issue.
Best moment since last week: We got to our friends' house on Sunday (15w 5d) and they excitedly told me to turn to the side so they could see my bump and were disappointed that there wasn't really one. Haha. Not showing juuust yet!!
Movement: I don't think so.
Cravings/Aversions:
The week of Passover was really hard. We generally don't eat anything that we don't make ourselves (with the exception of grape juice, matzah and olive oil for cooking). For all of the actual holiday days (ones similar to Shabbos) we ate 2 meals per day at friends' houses, and there was tonsss of food. But on the intermediate days (called "chol hamoed"), E and I were left on our own and... whatever. We should've just been better prepared. But there were a couple of food-related meltdowns. Not really about craving anything that I couldn't have but not wanting to eat anything that we did have. We did have steak and eggs 2 or 3 times, which is a little excessive I guess, but that's our usual Passover staple so it was kind of expected. And E really wanted it too!
Gender: Leaning towards girl still...
Labor signs: Hopefully not anyyytime soon!
Belly button: Innie
What I miss: I was really bloated so I couldn't feel my uterus as much, and that's got me freaked out a little...
What I am looking forward to:
Same as last week... The next appointment- April 25th. And getting to the date we decided to
start telling more people (probably around May 1st). Right now only
parents, grandparents, one aunt and uncle, and a few very close friends
know. We don't plan on "announcing" it but there are a few more friends
I'd like to tell, and obviously more family as well.
