15 week update

Happy Mother's Day to all the hot mamas out there!

I can't believe we're back home after an amazing two weeks in Arizona and Miami!  It was so nice to just relax by the beach after the excitement of wedding weekend and celebrate Carter's graduation.  It would have been nice to stay on our island another week but we really missed our dogs.  We're totally "those people."

Let's talk baby...Bean Sprout is now the size of a navel orange, and weighs about 2.5 ounces, which is pretty big, as you can start to see.  He/she has functional joints and is apparently moving around like crazy, but I still can't feel a thing.  His/her tiny little heart is pumping between 20 and 25 quarts of blood a day and he/she probably already has a hairline!  Dear God, please be merciful if Sprout is a girl...I don't want to have to wax her before sending her to kindergarten.  (I'm not being fanatical, I know of what I speak).

I'm really looking forward to my doctor's appointment tomorrow!  I have Questions.  Should I be able to feel any movement yet?  Why has brushing my teeth become the worst part of my day, because of both nausea and bloody pain?  Most importantly, does little Bean Sprout look like a normal healthy baby?  I'll feel better after I go!

Also, sorry for the ragamuffin-y appearance of my picture!  I'm so tired from traveling.  I'll glam it up next week for ya. :)

How far along?  15 weeks

Total weight gain:  According to the scale in our bathroom in Miami, I lost 4 pounds since my last appointment.

Maternity clothes?  Nope.  All dresses, all the time.  But the pants I'm wearing in this picture are not comfortable anymore...I need preggo yoga pants!

Stretch marks?   No.  My cocoa butter routine starts again tonight.

Sleep?  Let me tell you about our first day in Miami:  I woke up, ate breakfast, blogged, took a nap, woke up, ate lunch, took a nap, woke up, watched a movie, ate dinner and went to bed.  It was GLORIOUS.

Best moment of the week?  Relaxing on the beach with my Mr.

Miss anything?  Not that I can think of.  Maybe really good Italian cold cuts.

Movement?  The book says there's lots going on in there!  I still don't feel it.

Food craving?   I could eat blueberry pancakes every day.  Or pasta and vodka sauce.

Anything make you sick or queasy?  Toothpaste!  One of the only things I can't avoid.

Gender?  I want to hear your guesses!

Labor signs?  No

Symptoms?   Instead of gradually getting hungry, I will be fine and then all of a sudden, ravenous.  This will give me a headache.  Then, if I eat too much, I get a headache.  I did manage to tan myself the same color as the dark line on my stomach this week, so that's gone for the moment!

Belly button in or out?  Scott loves to tell me how shallow it's getting.

Wedding rings on or off?  On.  Getting my wedding band sized this week.

Happy or moody most of the time?  Happy!

Looking forward to?  My doctor's appointment, hanging out with my dogs this week, starting to think about how to decorate Bean Sprout's room.
