15 weeks in. This is what is happening with My Little Loodle:
Baby is about the size of an orange this week, their ears have migrated to the sides of their head, and their eyes are moving to the front of theri face. Plus, the little smarty-pants can now wiggle their fingers and toes and make breathing movements in preparation for life outside the womb.
My Symptoms: I'm still extremely tired and find myself in bed at 8pm every night. I read for an hour or so, but I just have to have the comfort of my bed to get relaxed.
Maternity clothes? Loose long shirts still. The time has come when buttoning my jeans cannot be achieved. I use hairties to secure them now. My sister also sent me a band for a sort of covering and holding together of the pants, which will be very handy in the next few months. I have a white one and a beige colored one so I'm prepared!
Sleep? Even though I wake up throughout the night to use the bathroom, I get about 9 hrs a night, which is wonderful (but I'm still tired!)
Best moment last week? We had a much needed relaxing weekend at home. I was able to take a nap on Saturday. We went to confession and mass on Saturday night. Then all Sunday I was able to get the laundry done and folded. It was just so nice to have that.
Movement? I still feel the fluttering/ butterfly feeling, but not as much (or I've just gotten used to that feeling).
Weight Gain: I'm not keeping track every week, so I have no clue. My next docto'rs appointment is on Friday so we shall see then. Last weigh in, I was at 143 lbs.
Cravings: I still have a soft spot for french fries or hashbrowns. I haven't had any in a couple of weeks. I haven't been wanting dinner, but I've made myself 2 fried eggs for the past few nights and that seems to satisfy me.

Food Aversions: Anything I make seems to not agree with my stomach or sense of smell. It seems like a good idea when I'm making it, like chicken parmesan, but then I cannot eat it. I think this whole cooking dinner thing is a turn off for my stomach. Odd.
What made me cry this week: Frustrations and worries about some upcoming events.
Medical Stuff: My next appointment is on Friday so that update will be with my week 16 journal.
Something I am excited about: Still excited for Christmas!!!! My brother and his girlfriend are coming to visit next weekend. That's a funny story because his girlfriend happens to be one of my best friends from college and they both were in the wedding and that's how they met. Crazy but so so cool. Also, my temporary job ends in the next few weeks and I am ready to try and experience something new. Lot's of happenings! :)
