15 weeks =)

Wow! I can't believe I am already 15 weeks pregnant! Baby is now moving further and further upwards and making me lose my breath much easier.  Baby is the size of an orange!! I love when the fruit comparison is a fruit I can actually recognize! So, how has my 15th week treated me?

• I am still experiencing round ligament pain.  It is generally felt on my right side.  It isn't the worst and mostly hurts when I sneeze or bend a certain way.
• Headaches have come back with a vengeance this week. I have self-diagnosed them as tension headaches.  Laying down with an ice pack does very little.  Sleep seems to be the only escape from them.
• I have been craving kiddie cocktails this week! Oddly enough I have grenadine in my pantry so I have been making one daily.  They are just missing a cherry which I forgot to buy at the store... other cherry flavored items have popped into my mind as sounding quite delightful: cherry icee, red vines, red starbursts... yum!!!
• Popcorn has been something I have been able to not only eat without feeling sick but WANT my whole pregnancy so far.  None of that low cal plain stuff either, I want the extra butter kind!! 
• Even though the last 2 points were about food, I really haven't had much of an appetite.  I am actually eating less then I did before I was pregnant.  When I eat I make sure I am getting good amount of protein and healthy foods.  I'll talk with my doctor and I am not starving myself by any means, just not very hungry.  Along with that, I sometimes am reminded that I need to eat.  My body signals are all off- I don't get nauseous, shaky, and grumbly tummy like I usually did when I was hungry, now I just get extremely light headed.  
• I feel as though these last few weeks have flown by! Sean ifeels as though it is going slower now! I think the beginning was slow enough considering all I did was lay on the couch debating whether or not I was going to puke (tmi?).   Either way, we are both loving reaching new milestones in this pregnancy! Sean is picking out our child's Halloween costumes for next year and I am imagining the fall season with a 6 month old!  We can't wait!

Overall, this has not been a very eventful week.  I am hoping the headaches let up soon and I continue to get more energy back since I feel the initial "energy surge" has gone away.  I am very grateful for having what seems like a very mild and easier pregnancy then some.  

Any questions?? Just ask!!
