15 Weeks

15 Weeks

8/15/12

Virginia Lynn's Size: Avacado (4-5 inches, 3-5 ounces)

• At our doctor's appointment last week, they did they ultrasound and could tell that VL was 3 ounces!

Weight Gain: I've lost about 12 pounds total, but haven't gained any back yet. My appetite is slowly coming back, but I am so picky about what I want to eat! 

Maternity Clothes: Yes! I have bought some new and second hand, as well as a few hand me downs passed on! I can still fit into my athletic shorts but my jeans won't button and my dresses for church are a little tight. Most of my shirts fit but are getting a little short. 

Stretch Marks: Unfortunately, yes. I know it's well worth it, but still a bummer. I'm using lots of tummy butter!

Sleep: It's still coming okay. I get up to potty a few times a night, and I can still sleep half way on my stomach, but it's starting to get really uncomfortable. I asked Dr. C when that needed to stop and he said when it was uncomfortable or around 20 weeks! 

Food Cravings: Nothing particular. Mostly salty things. Like cashews or McDonald's french fries. But with the french fries, I want a vanilla milk shake ;) I've never been a big milk drinker, unless I have something to go with it, like a poptart, cookies, cinnamon rolls, etc. But I have been drinking it by itself here lately.. (go me!) Oh, speaking of cinnamon rolls...that was a craving last week!

Symptoms: Fatigue during the day. It usually hits around 1:00 and I'm ready to pass out on the couch. If all the babies are napping, I usually can catch a few zzz's :) The morning sickness has passed, I hope! I still have a bad gag reflex but it's getting better as well. Hormones? ha! They have my emotions everywhere! I try to hide when I am upset, I don't want to be that crazy crying pregnant lady. I want to have control of them, although it is nearly impossible. I get upset over the craziest things! But, I'm trying to not let it show :) 

Gender: Girl!!! Yay for Virginia Lynn Lowery! 

Movement: None yet, but it's still kind of early. Maybe in the next few weeks! 

What I'm looking forward to: Ummm...I can't think of anything right off. I guess feeling VL move, picking out furniture for her room and decorating! Oh, and definitely shopping for her!
