15 weeks

How far along:  15 weeks  (12.11.14)

Total weight gain/loss: 0 lbs

Maternity clothes:  my belly is getting big enough that i think some shirts are getting short...

Sleep:  so hit or miss.  and some really bizarre dreams.

Best moment this week:  maybe tuesday?  when i was able to do multiple loads of laundry and some organizing in brady's closet and taking stuff to the basement and a bunch of other things that i've been avoiding.  it was my first "normal" day in a few months.

Movement:  not yet!

Food cravings:  eating is still hit or miss but it's getting easier.  also, i'm loving milk again.  my intense thirst is coming back.

Symptoms: nausea, food aversions, headache, etc... but all to a much lesser degree than what i've been dealing with so thank goodness for that! 

Gender:  my guess is still girl.  especially since the improvement of my morning sickness etc came right at 14.5 weeks like it did with abigail.

What I miss:  not being able to easily find a food to eat.  everything just seems so unappealing so it's a real chore.

Milestones:  i'm starting to feel more normal!  i don't have an overwhelming desire to lay in bed 24/7!
Theme: the week of attempting to get back to normal life after traveling and being sick for so long.
What's different this time around:  with abigail, i was super sick, literally constantly, and at 14.5 weeks, i tasted a goldfish and didn't hate it and i cried sweet tears of joy.  this time, i woke up and tackled three loads of laundry and a bunch of household chores and didn't have to lay in bed for hours during/after to recover.  with brady... i can't remember, but i'm pretty sure i'd been feeling fine for quite a while already.

Extra:  i'm starting to wear fitted shirts to show off my belly although no one has commented on it yet.  sometimes i look cute and pregnant and other times, i just look like i have a beer belly or have developed a big gut.  it changes depending on the time of day and how i'm standing, but it's definitely big and out there.  i love having a pregnant belly.  i'm so happy to have the energy and motivation etc so do normal tasks now.  hallelujah!
