15 Weeks and Winter MishMash



Well I said it was going to happen, and I completely forgot to take a 15w picture this weekend!  And since Andrew usually takes it for me in my family room, there is no doing it during the week.  So here you...cell phone snap from yesterday just before I headed out to the gym.


How far along?: 15w, 4 days 

How big is baby?:  about 4 in. or the size of a naval orange.


Weight gain/loss?: +7lbs  I think I'm done weighing myself for a bit.  It never makes me feel good to see it go up, even if it means that baby is getting bigger! 

Stretch marks?:  Just the oldies.  Please no newbies.

Maternity clothes?: That laundry basket right there?  That's just 1/4 of them that I finally washed and put in my closet.  I think I'm finally getting to the point of belief that this will be a take-home baby.  For a while, I didn't want to jinx anything by bringing out the maternity clothes to0 soon, but I'm clearly needing them now.


Sleep?:  Better than last week and I'm able to fall back asleep after getting up to pee.  Of course, I started to get a cold last night, so it wasn't the most restful of nights.


Food cravings?: I still really want  anything vinegar-y or lemon-y.

Gender?: Andrew and I have officially decided to be Team Green and wait until Baby August is here!! 


Movement?: Some flutters every once in a while.  I was excited to learn at my ultrasound that I don't have an anterior placenta this time (like I had with both the girls) so I should be able to feel movements more regularly with this babe! 


Belly button?: still an inny, but I feel SO much bigger this time than I was with either of the girls.  I wouldn't be surprised if it actually popped.  This was 15w with Eloise:





Symptoms?:  Other than my annoying cold that showed it's face this morning, I'm feeling pretty good.  Just the usually fatigue.


What are you looking forward to this week?:  ummmmm my 30th birthday in the Bahamas!!  Andrew and I are dropping the girls off at my parents tomorrow night and we leave very early Friday morning and come back Sunday night.  I seriously can't wait.  And Andrew has made dinner reservations at 2 surprise restaurants for Friday and Saturday night.  ahhhhh!!

I'm really needing an escape from this awful cold weather.  We've just had entirely too much snow and temperatures below 20 degrees.  The snow was fun at first.





But there were too many cold snow days where we couldn't even play outside because of the frigid temps.




We celebrated Andrew's 31st birthday on the 15th!

And for the first time, I cooked filet mignon in the oven - it was pretty good!

And then we've just been making the best of this cold weather and playing a lot inside.  Love our girls!!
