15-16 weeks Pregnant


About week 16 or so

This past Thursday marked the 15 weeks mark of my pregnancy and all is well. I'm still feeling nauseous and really tired, but not that I'm in my second trimester maybe it'll start fading away. We were also back home for Thanksgiving (Bella and I were home for 16 days!) and I think, from all the traveling around, I just wore myself out. It was a great time, though!


My belly is pretty big for 15 weeks, but then again, they say with the second pregnancy, it pops out much sooner than the first. I've been wearing pregnancy clothes probably since 10 weeks or so, but most prego pants were still big at that point. I have some that are still baggy in my butt still, but they're comfy. Cathy gave me her prego clothes when I was back home thankfully. Love prego shirts! So cute!

I felt some more fluttering the other day. Ready to start feeling the stronger kicks!

I feel it's going to be a boy too! Just a hunch. It looks like I'm all belly too I think. Hmmm....

We're still trying to decide if we're going to find out the sex or not. I'm leaning more towards finding out everyday, so we'll see in a little while. I have another doctor appointment Dec. 11, so I'll keep you posted.

I haven't been getting up in the middle of the night to snack probably for a couple of weeks or so now. I was nauseous this morning when I woke up though. Ugh.

I'm looking around for nursery decor, strollers, other baby things, etc. Fun fun. Can't believe it's that time again! Crazy!

Until next time...

Here's some info about what's happening with the baby:


Your pregnancy: 15 weeks

How your baby's growing:

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). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.")
