15 Weeks + 1 Day

•How far along are you? 15 weeks + 1 day.  Yes, I forgot to take my belly pic yesterday, yet again.  So I'm a day late.  Oh, and have I mentioned how much faster this pregnancy is going!?  Well, it is!  I think being preggo over the busy holidays makes the time fly by.

•How big is baby?: Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple).

•Maternity clothes: Surprisingly, not yet. Just the belly bands and rubberbands to keep my pants up.  Thankfully too, my mom gave me several non-maternity shirts in my stocking that are longer and looser in the stomach area.  I think I'll be able to wear these shirts for a while longer!  I've chosen not to list my weight gain on here (it will stress me out too much), but I can say that I'm gaining much slower this time around, even though my belly is getting bigger sooner.  I guess all the weight is just being redistributed to my belly and chest.  :)

•Gender: Still have 5 more weeks until we find out. I'm still thinking boy and Shawn is thinking girl.  One exciting thing is, I think we may have our names picked out (boys and girls)!  But I'm not going to share them just yet.  :)

•Sleep?:  I'm sleeping ok.  Still working on sleeping on my side.  It's just not nearly as comfortable as my back and I end up on my back at some point every night.  My allergies are still keeping me up a bit too.

•Best moment this week?: Celebrating Christmas with family!

•Movement?: I've started to feel a few flutters each day.  I can't wait til Shawn and Em can feel the kicks too.

•Food cravings?: Steak!  The filet I had at Jasper's on Christmas Eve was sooo good!  When I was preggo with Em, the thought of steak made me sick, but this time around it tastes so good.

•Food aversions?: Nothing really.  Maybe plain grilled chicken.

•What I miss: I definitely missed having a glass of wine during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner.  Oh and the chocolate martini at Jasper's!

•Symptoms: No new symptoms this week.  Mainly, it's just bad allergies still.

•Milestone:  Feeling the baby move this week!

Em wanted to get in on the belly pics too.
