15 weeks

Last week was probably the hardest week I've had this pregnancy.  I got really sick on Wednesday and my fever got up to 101.5, and my whole body ached and I was miserable. I took some Tylenol to bring my fever down and it went down within a few hours - praise the Lord!  I feel better now but am still congested and dealing with allergies. But all good! :)



Size of Baby: According to What to Expect, our baby is the size of an orange! Around 4.5 inches and 2-3 ounces.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: We don't have a scale at home, but at my last appointment I was up 4lbs.

Maternity Clothes: In the very near future! I cannot button most of my pants but shirts are fine. A teeny tiny bump is starting to show :)

Gender: I go back and forth each week. Sometimes I think girl, sometimes I think boy. We got a doppler to hear the baby's heartbeat at home, and yesterday it was 150. We shall see! We find out the gender on April 21st! 3 weeks!

Belly Button In/Out: In

 Stretch Marks: Not yet

Labor Signs: No

Movement: Not really sure what I'm looking for.  I figure I'll know when it happens!

Sleep: I was sick last week and sleep was horrible for a few days. I'm feeling better now but just have allergies.

What I miss: Nothing! :)

What I am looking forward to: April 21st!!! That is our 18 week anatomy scan and we find out the gender!

Cravings/Aversions: Pizza, apples, water.

Symptoms: Bloated, heartburn, gassy, headaches.

Best Moment This Week: Hearing the baby's heartbeat at home!  It was so sweet!

Hi Rachel, it's amazing how you forget all the discomforts once baby has arrived. I'm just stopping by to say how delightful your blog is. Thanks so much for sharing.
