Prego Journal: Week 15


8/19/12
How far along: 15 Weeks

How big is baby:  Orange 
Total weight gain: +1
Maternity clothes: Not yet, but I pretty much only wear dresses and a few of my shorts that were either too big for me or my workout shorts.
Sleep: So-so.  I wake up anywhere from 1 to 3 times a night.  I do a lot of waking up just worrying about the positions I’m sleeping in.  It’s best to sleep on your left side once you hit the second trimester, so if I wake up and I’m not on my left side I get all concerned about it in the middle of the night.    
Best moment of the week: I made keepsake booklets of all the cards Jason and I have sent each other throughout the years as well as all of our wedding cards.  It was a lot of fun to read through these again.  The best part was that I found two Bed Bath and Beyond gift cards I had forgot to remove from some of the cards from bridal showers, so that was a nice surprise. 
Food cravings: nothing.  I've been enjoying veggies more though so that’s a plus.
Food aversions: Pasta is my biggest aversion right now. Also, I really do not like sweets right now.
Symptoms: Well, I had a return of the nausea.  It had been under control after I started taking Zofran.  But, zofran had some pretty nasty side effects with me so I had to stop taking it for awhile to get everything back on track.  About a day after I stopped taking it I threw up a few times, so that was fun.
Still pretty emotional this week.   
Movement: Nope
Gender: We may have agreed on both a girl and boy name this week!  That was pretty exciting.    
What I’m looking forward to:  Kendall’s wedding is this weekend!  Yay!  Couldn’t have come soon enough!  A few more weeks and I’m not sure I’d still fit in the bridesmaid dress.
What I miss: Feeling good about my body… I've had a rough time with body image this week.
Next appt: September 10th 
Workout/Fitness: I did a few smaller workouts this week.  My back has been bugging me a bit, I’m not sure if I overdid something with lifting weights last week, but I haven’t been totally comfortable in my workouts this week.

  1. Names?!? I need to know these. :)

    You are growing a baby!!! Do not think about your body image, I know it's easier said that done, but the beautiful baby in you needs room to grow!
