forgetful fifteen, sweet sixteen

things have been crazy around here!  and i mean crazy.  daylight savings has thrown us for a loop.  liam has been crying when going to bed the last few nights.  i miss our quiet happy bedtimes.  i've also been really busy with work.  there are only a few times a year that this happens and it's always for the same reason.  report cards.  basically i spend about 16 hours calculating and in-putting marks and then coming up with creative comments that let parents know just how their child is doing.  multiply this by 120 and it gets a little overwhelming.  i'm happy to say that i'm almost done and things will get back to normal in a few days.  but with all this craziness i actually forgot to do a bump picture at fifteen weeks.  really.  i totally. completely. forgot.  i had the post ready last friday, just no picture to go with.  oh well.  can't get them all right?

we'll just combine fifteen and sixteen weeks together and call it even.  here's week fifteen's update ...

fifteen weeks: sadly no photo

how far along?  fifteen weeks

total weight gain: no weight change this week.  still the same.  

maternity clothes? starting to look in my closet and feel like i have nothing to wear.  my wardrobe choices are very depressing, nothing but t-shirts and jeans.  perhaps a trip to the mall??  then again perhaps not.

stretch marks?  nada

sleep:  still waking up around 3 am.  it's getting pretty annoying ... and now it's happening almost every night.  

best moment this week: yoga and i booked our 18 week ultrasound, april 3 we'll get to find out what flavour our new family member is going to be.  it's going to be a long four weeks. 

miss anything?  all of my non-pregnant clothes.  i'd just gotten to the point where i loved everything in my closet.  oh well.  next year right.  oh ya, and i miss sleep.

movement:  yup.  felt baby move when i was lying down on tuesday night.  at first i wasn't sure, but then i felt it across my entire abdomen.  gas can't do that.  

food cravings:  chocolate soy milk, veggies and dip, cantaloupe, any flavour of yogurt and chocolate mini eggs (thanks cadbury)

anything making your queasy or sick: still off fish, anything from the sea at this point.  good thing we're landlocked. 

gender:  unknown, hopefully baby will give us a show in a few weeks!!

labour signs:  not for a while yet

symptoms:  heartburn, heartburn and more heartburn.  but, i was at costco and they have a costco size version of zantac.  praise everything!!!  95 tablets of heartburn relief.

belly button in or out?  in

wedding rings on or off?  wedding and engagement rings on

happy or moody most of the time?  moody, but the sad kind of moody.  more emotional really.  i've been crying at news stories, commercials, tv shows, you name it.  i'm a crier by nature, but this is a little ridiculous.

looking forward to: the weekend and hanging out with my guys.  and feeling more of baby moving around.

how far along?  sixteen weeks

total weight gain: up 3 lbs, guess we made up for last week?  grow baby grow.

maternity clothes? after last weeks closet pity party i started getting creative with my clothes.  i have quite a few flowy tops and some blazers.  i've started wearing those and now that the weather is getting better i'm wearing fun flats instead of boots all the time.

stretch marks?  nada

sleep:  getting better.  i've been waking up to pee but then go back to sleep.  still going to be early though, the day just wipes me out. 

best moment this week: nothing to do with pregnancy, but liam has started pointing to himself and saying "mommy" and then to his belly and saying "baby".  so freakin' cute.  i just die.

miss anything?  not really.  can't think of anything.

movement:  yup, a lot butterflies in my tummy feelings.  

food cravings:  chocolate soy milk, grapes, white tea raspberry gingerale, cantaloupe, coconut flavoured yogurt and biggest craving has been for chocolate cheerios.  those things taste amazing!  i'd eat them for every meal if i could.

anything making your queasy or sick: no fish.  well canned tuna seems to be okay, but otherwise keep the sea creatures away.

gender:  unknown two and a half weeks and we'll know!!

labour signs:  not for a while yet

symptoms:  heartburn (always worse after eating chocolate), siatic pain has also set in.  boo to this.

belly button in or out?  in

wedding rings on or off?  wedding and engagement rings on

happy or moody most of the time?  moody and happy.  i would say an equal combination of both.  i happened to watch kony 2012 this week and bawled my eyes out.  then again i'm bawling my eyes out during commercials.

looking forward to: 18 week ultrasound and telling liam if he's getting a sister or brother.
