Bump Report: 15 Weeks

Every Thursday I'm going to try and give you all a Bump Report, and if I'm lucky and organized enough a picture of the bump, like the one below.  This morning I was in a rush but had Ashby take this super quick awesome shot of me before I went downstairs for breakfast.  Not much to see here folks!

15 weeks

And now onto the good stuff....



How far along? 15 Weeks

Total weight gain: 3 lbs

Maternity clothes? Yes and no. I can still fit into my tops and bottoms. Bottoms have sometimes been a little tricky to button, so I’ve just been using the hair tie method for now.  Trying to hold out for as long as possible on buying maternity clothes.

Stretch marks? None yet. I’ve been using shea butter cream twice a day.

Sleep: Anyone who knows me knows that I have no issues falling asleep! I do sometimes get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom.

Best moment this week: Going to the Doctor and listening to baby’s heartbeat. It was 152 beats/per min. Still over 140, which again according to the old wives tale means girl. We shall see about that. 

Miss Anything? Alcohol. No I’m not an alcoholic, thanks for asking! Oh yes and acne free skin. This baby has done a number on mama’s skin. Luckily the Doctor gave me a prescription that's safe to use while pregnant, and since using it last night there has been a drastic positive change! Winning.

Food cravings: fruit, chocolate, melted cheese

Anything making you queasy or sick: Raw veggies, I’ll eat ‘em but I don’t like it. Basil and balsamic vinegar, I’m not sure they will ever make an appearance in my diet again.   

Gender: Don’t know yet. We find out August 30^th! I think it’s a boy!   

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: None really. Occasional bloating and moodiness. Ashby would tell you heavy on the moodiness, he likes to call it “prangry”.

Belly Button in or out? In and I hope it stays that way.

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody : X

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender of the baby and deciding on a name.  Visiting with my family in Kentucky next week. My birthday and going to Punta Cana.


Just a fun fact for you, this week the baby is the size of an orange-

I'll be back next week with another update. I know you can hardly wait, it's probably going to be the highlight of your week, don't lie.
