14 and 15 Weeks Update

Nothing much to update at 14 weeks, so it's safe to assume the same answers.



How far along? 14 weeks on the dot at the time of the photo.


How far along? 15 weeks, 5 days today; 15 weeks, 3 days at the time of the photo/

How big is baby? Baby is the size of a navel orange.

How am I feeling? Still pretty similar. I'm waiting anxiously for that spurt of energy everyone keeps telling me will come in the second trimester. My mom does not think this will happen for me since I've had issues with fatigue for a while, but I am still praying!

Weight? It's hard to gauge right now. I was sick last week, didn't work out, and then ate a lot of fried chicken and cupcakes this weekend haha. I think right at 15 weeks, I was probably up a total of 6.5 pounds.

How am I changing? My belly is definitely becoming a little more pronounced. Even my yoga pants are starting to lose their inherent comfort...

What do I miss? Being able to work out intensely. I spend about the same amount of time working out (minus this last week) as I did before, but I'm not getting nearly as much out of my pregnancy workouts plus walking as my pre pregnancy work outs. Especially as I see the numbers on the scale increase more quickly than is ideal during pregnancy, I want to just bust out a high cardio workout, but I know that's not safest for me or baby. Slow and steady...

Symptoms? Still acne. I'm losing some of the intense red splotches, so hopefully that will continue to go down!! Still pretty tired as well.

Cravings? Chips Ahoy chocolate chunk cookies! I may or may not eat about 6/day.

Maternity Clothes? I bought a pair of "fat pants" that I think will grow with me and be comfortable for the next month or so and post pregnancy. I also grabbed a couple of transitional shirts that I think will work post pregnancy as well.

Stretch Marks? Still none! Fingers crossed.

Sleep? Pretty well, but if anything wakes me up, it's a lot harder to get back to sleep. I'm also having to go to the bathroom a lot more at night. It's a rarity if I can make it without getting up once.

Movement? I can't quite tell. I think I've felt a couple little movements at night in bed. It kind of feels like my shirt is brushing against my stomach...but on the inside. Nothing big or consistent yet.

Gender Predictions? Still not sure. I feel like I might be carrying low, though obviously it's hard to tell, which according to the old wive's tale would give us a boy.

Looking Forward to? Hopefully picking up a carseat for a great deal from another lady on base. Oh, and Andrew will (hopefully) be soloing the T-6 this week! So my in laws will probably come into town for that, and it should be a good time all around :)

What have been the highlights of the week? We purchased a new car! It is definitely a more family friendly vehicle, but it's also just awesome, and I LOVE it. I think Andrew is happy to have a 4 wheeled vehicle of his own, too (he's taken over my Mazda).
