15 weeks along

Jun 12^th

How Far Along: 15 Weeks (35% done!) Officially in the 2^nd trimester now

Size of baby: Orange (4.5 inches long)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: .5 down

Maternity Clothes: Still wearing normal clothes so far but by the end of the day I have a bump

Gender: Guessing boy but we will find out July 3^rd (21 sleeps!!)

Movement: I suspect I am feeling flutters but I doubt myself

Sleep: Still not sleeping great and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with really bad nausea. One night I was up for almost 3 hours. The doctor suggested I take Benadryl and see if that helps.

What I miss: sleeping well

Cravings: Chipotle, Rosa’s taco plate (still haven’t gotten it yet), jalapeno cream cheese. Basically I eat a good breakfast, snacks, and lunch and then hardly eat anything the rest of the day. Nothing sounds good in the evenings.

Symptoms: Still tired/restless sleep and dealing with nausea in the evenings

Best Moment this week: Getting to hear the strong little heartbeat yesterday at 141 bpm.  

Hardest Moment this week: Yesterday I caved and got the genetic testing at the doctor’s office which will check for down syndrome. It will also tell us the gender of the baby in one week. This test is great but most of the time insurance doesn’t cover it. Therefore it will cost about $300. And I already paid for a sonogram in 3 weeks to find out the gender. Plus if I was going to do this I should have done it at 10 weeks and I would have known the gender then! Kind of annoyed with myself and confused what to do. Do I let the nurse tell me the gender over the phone? Do I have them put it in an envelope so Kyle and I can find out together? Do we open it right away or wait until July 3^rd so we don’t spill the beans before the gender reveal? AHHHH    

I can't wait: For the blood test results to confirm a healthy C3PO! Next dr appt is July 9^th.
