Rainbow Baby | Week 15

1. Number of weeks: 15 weeks 3 days

2. Due Date: April 1, 2016 

3. Gender: Not finding out this time

4. Baby size:  roughly the size of an orange (about 4.5 inches crown to bottom)

5. Weight gain/loss: d o w n 22.5 lbs I had an OB appointment this morning and was really, really hoping that she'd agree to let me have the PICC line taken out, but since I lost a half pound she wants it to stay in. Especially given my weight loss (almost 40 lbs) with Ellie. With both pregnancies, with John & Ellie, I had a month reprieve or so from sickness from about 14-20 weeks, before it came back with a vengeance. Same thing seems to be happening now, so I can plan on keeping the PICC for at least 5 more weeks.

6. Maternity Clothes?:

Yes, comfort is key right now! 

7. Stretch marks?: Nope. The PUPPS rash I have likes to make the old stretch marks I do have from John & Ellie appear to be new and super bright red/purple. That's fun? 

8. How's the sleep?:  I sleep good in 2-3 hour increments. 

9. Best moment this week?:  this whole week was pretty good. No vomiting! Which is why I'm confused how I still lost weight. Especially with how much I ate; I've been so hungry the last 4 or 5 days. Guess it's all going to baby :)

10. Missing anything?:  Clear skin & energy. And my memory; I feel like I have scrambled eggs for brains lately. 

11. Baby Movements?:  Yes! I've been feeling little flutters when I'm sitting or laying still. 

12. Cravings:  SOUP! Specifically baked potato soup. Also, caramel apples & salad with Olive Garden dressing. Yum! 

13. What makes you sick or queasy?

Most things still lol. I think I've just gotten better at distracting myself from things that used to make me puke instantly. 

14. Any pregnancy symptoms?: 

+ fatigue
+ crying/mood swings
+ acne
+ nausea/vomiting

+ baby flutters :) 

+ frequent bathroom trips

+ headaches

+ dizzy/light headed

15. Labor signs?:  nope

16. Your mood is...?:  happy.
