Number of weeks: 15
Measurement: right around 15 weeksBaby Size: According to the Bump, our baby is the size of a navel orange.The baby is about 4 inches long and weighs approximately 2.5 ounces.
Interesting Fact: The baby is making lots of progress as her joints and limbs are moving now. The baby may even be hiccuping.
Heartbeat: ? bpm
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 2.6 lbs
Pregnancy Clothes: I am officially too wide for any of my pants minus one pair of skinny jeans (that happen to be stretchy) I have no clue how this works, but thank goodness for those pair as well as long, stretchy skirts. I can easily wear my tops. I did go out and purchase my first pair of maternity shorts.
Tiger Stripes: Not due to pregnancy. No current stretch marks.
Sleep: This week I am starting to go to the bathroom about twice a night. I am still currently able to
sleep on my tummy; however, sleeping on my back has made me a bit uncomfortable at times.
How are you feeling: This week I have done surprisingly better. Monday I experienced my first round of dizziness and was overall nauseous most of the day, but all and all, it's been a great week.
Most Memorable Moment: While this has little to do with the baby, it was the most memorable moment that I cannot wait for our baby to be apart of. This Thursday, Ray and I met up with our Heights in Spanish representative, ENGAGE coordinator at the church, and the Perspective ABF ENGAGE representative and did a site visit of the apartment complex we will be serving in late April. As the ENGAGE representatives for our ABF, we are so excited to be serving La Mirada apartment in the Park Central Area. What a perfect reflection of serving our neighbors.
Cravings: I am currently craving lots of sugar filled treats from chocolate milk shakes and other non healthy options.
Gender Predictions: I have had several dreams of little boys lately. Again, I am so thankful for this opportunity to carry our little baby and am excited for either. I just can't wait until the end of May to find out if we are decorating with blue or pink:)
What I Miss: As always, I miss sweet tea and cherry coke.
Emotional Moment: Monday I sent a congratulatory text to my friend, Kristin, and her family
about her sister Stephanie's amazing completion of the Boston Marathon. It wasn't until that late afternoon that I heard about the bombings that went off about 10 minutes after her finish. Thinking of her family and all of those effected by such a terrible and ignorant act of violence. This hit way too close to home. I am so incredibly proud of her amazing accomplishment and so thankful for God's amazing hand of protection.
What I look forward to: I am excited about our 16 week appointment on Wednesday to hear our sweet baby's heart beat. This will be our final appointment before we find out the baby's gender at the end of May.
