Orange is the new Black: Week 15

Baby boy is 15 weeks and counting! Each week becomes that much sweeter. One day closer to his arrival :)

I feel good and I've heard this is the "honeymoon" period of pregnancy. Some days I forget I'm even pregnant, until I go to sleep... and then I remember. The only issue I'm having is sleep, but it's getting better. I'm still getting used to only sleeping on my side and I can't always get comfortable, so I feel like I toss and turn. But, hey, it could be worse.

Otherwise, not much new to report. We still haven't made our official pregnancy announcement yet. I think we will this weekend. We're 16 weeks on Friday, so I think we'll announce after that landmark.

We have our next OB appointment today, and I'm anxious and excited. It's been really hard not going to the doctor each week. I just want to know that baby is doing okay and he is healthy. At my last fertility appointment, my doctor did tell me that I have a low lying placenta. He said it wasn't anything to worry about, but to let me OB know... so I'm curious what they'll say?

Fingers crossed everything is okay and normal and baby boy is healthy!

15 weeks!

How far along: 15 weeks

Baby's size: Orange (4.0 inches and 2.5 ounces)

Weight gain: 4 lbs

Symptoms: I'm feeling good! Sleep is really my only issue.

Pregnancy perks: FOOD! Going grocery shopping has taken on a whole new meaning now... I walk down the aisle and so many foods just sound good. Like, Fruit Loops. When is the last time you've eaten Fruit Loops? For me, it's probably been years. But, let me tell you, they're delicious (and they're a great source of fiber). It's been funny seeing what sounds good to me now, but I've been really into eating. 

Things I miss: This is probably the first week where I've started to miss some things... when we were out to dinner this weekend, I really missed having a cocktail or a glass of wine. Only 24 more weeks to go... and I miss eating sandwiches, like the Beach Club from Jimmy Johns. 

Food aversions: Pretty much just eggs now. And some meats.

Food cravings: I don't know if I would call them cravings, but I've been really into dried fruits, fruit in general, Fruit Loops, Jolly Ranchers or anything that takes fruit like... like Starburst.
