15 Weeks + A Belly Pic

I thought it would be fun to document my pregnancy month by month for baby to be so here it goes.

At 15 weeks.....well technically 14 weeks and 6 days.

*Weight Gain:

Sucks! No but seriously I’m up 6lbs and that’s just part of pregnancy right? I feel like I’ve been showing for weeks but this week I have popped a little.

*Baby as we call him/her

Baby has such a strong heartbeat.....it's always around 165bpm and baby is so active.
This week I already started feeling some little kicks in there. I read with a baby this size what I'm feeling is him or her doing flips in there. It's one of the best feelings in the world and just feels like little flutters or bubble pops. I always feel baby in the same spot they get the heartbeat so I knows it's the real thing. I didn't feel Isla till I was almost 21 wks.

*Cravings:

Subway Veggie subs…..I could eat one daily.
Cucumbers and vinegar
Anything from the farmers market…..when I go on Fridays I drool the entire time
English muffins
 Cereal and milk


*How I’m feeling:

I’m feeling pretty good for the most part. I swear I’m still going pee all damn day and night! I have some hip, back and leg pain that comes and goes. I can feel things stretching in there to make room and that's not always pleasant. And the headaches are off and on.  I really can't complain when I think about it.

I’m not the type to just sit back and relax and I may overdo it at times. When I do too much that’s when I ache.

I had a polyp removed from my cervix last week and was ordered to "take it easy" and well it wasn't   easy. I was still getting out and doing things I just modified things a bit. Today I was given the all clear to resume normal activities and I couldn't be more thrilled.

This pregnancy has been different in a lot of ways then with my pregnancy with Isla. I feel older this pregnancy….it must be from chasing a toddler all day. I just feel worn out by the afternoon. I ache for this baby, I can’t wait to hold it and cuddle my days away. I have less fear of a small baby but more fear when I think about how I will handle 2 kids and keep my sanity


15 weeks with baby #2


15 weeks with Isla Mae

I'm trying to figure out if the belly looks the same or if I'm a bit smaller this time! I do know I still weigh less than I did then and that makes me happy. :)
