15 Weeks

How far along: 15 Weeks

Total weight gain: 5.5 pounds total (1.5 this week...yikes).

Food craving:  Honeybaked Ham! Someone at work was eating something that smelled like a Honeybaked Ham and I wanted one SO bad! I didn't actually get one, but I'm trying to arrange for one for Christmas dinner. I never crave ham so this is a weird one for me.

Food aversions: These are slowly going away though there were a couple of evenings that nothing sounded good and I felt a little nauseated.

Maternity Clothes: My pants wouldn't button this week :(  I'm still to small for maternity clothes, but I did have to start using a rubber band on my pants button.

What I’m looking forward to:  One more week until we find out the gender!

Milestones: The baby is the size of an orange this week. My belly button is slowing turning into an outtie!

Best moment this week:   I think I'm starting to feel the baby move. I can't be sure because it's just little flutters, but I should be able to start feeling it between 13-17 weeks.  When I lay down at night it feels like my insides are trying to tickle me, but it doesn't last very long. 


I feel like my tummy popped a little this week. You can now see it when I am wearing regular clothes though it mostly looks like I had too many pieces of pie at Thanksgiving!  My symptoms are slowly going away and I'm having more good days than bad. I still can't stay awake past 8:30pm no matter how hard I try. 

I'm not quite as hungry all the time as I was during the first trimester. I feel like I ate a lot less this week even though I gained more weight than I have any other week.
