Week 15 Interview

How far along? I say 15 weeks 1 day. D says 15 weeks 4 days.

Baby’s size? An apple or avocado, 4 inches long. Read more.

Days until next doc appointment? 10-12 (during week 16)

Total weight gain/loss? No clue. I don’t weigh in.

Maternity clothes? Yes! Bought my first pair of maternity pants this week, and I freaking love them.

Stretch marks? Just the ones that were already there. Cool.

Sleep: Best night of sleep was last night! D surprised me with a body pillow yesterday! Score.

Best moment this week: See next question. Although in a close second place is body pillow and maternity pants.

Movement: It’s quite possible! I’ve felt little pinches or scratches when I’m laying still. I can’t think of what else it’d be!

Food cravings: Hooked on Starbucks chonga bagels. oy.

Anything make you queasy or sick? Not really. Although I was really disappointed when food I ordered at Mustard Seed tasted nothing like what I remember.

Have you started to show yet? Yes, sometimes it looks bigger than it is after I eat and bloat. That’s still happening. But, for those that know me well they can definitely tell.

Missing anything? Feeling like I can do stuff like lean over the counter to open a window or do laundry without fear of tripping and just having a clean, organized house.

Gender? Consensus is girl based on a family poll taken last weekend. I have no idea.

Labor signs? Thankfully no.

Belly button: In tact.

Wedding rings on or off? Depends on the day.

Happy or moody most of the time? Mostly happy but when I’m moody, I’m really moody. Sorry hun!

Weekly symptoms: Started peeing a lot more often and with urgency. Can’t cross my legs sometimes because of low belly discomfort. Can’t sleep on my stomach anymore. Bloody nose. I can go longer between eating but try not to. Less heartburn, mostly just when I lay down at night.
