Week 15
Baby H is the size of a pear.

15 weeks, 2 days

Lorelai or Max is the size of a pear, measuring around 4" long. 

How far along? 15 Weeks

Maternity clothes: Gone are the days of squeezing into pre-pregnancy wear. This week I broke down and bought an adorable retro maternity swimsuit and a few more shirts for work. The belly is taking over!

Stretch marks? No (fingers crossed)!

Sleep: I haven't been napping as much, so I pass out pretty early at night (like 9 pm). On the plus side, I'm getting a miraculous nine hours of sleep every night, which I'm very thankful for.

Best moment this week: 

Gabe built the baby's crib and changing table this week. It's so thrilling to walk into our old office and see the baby's nursery taking shape! So far, we have the glider, changing table, and crib in place. We also have the curtains up, and I framed the artwork I painted for the baby's room. Even though we're still five months out, I feel like Max or Lorelai will be here before we know it!

Miss Anything? Thanks to binge-watching No Reservations this week, I miss real cheese again. As in the kind that stinks and oozes onto your plate. Brie, Bleu, you name it. I also miss the wine that goes with it, but not as much as I miss the cheese.

Movement: I should be able to feel him/her soon!

Food cravings: Anything and everything Mexican! I just can't get enough enchiladas. I even made some for my class this week as an excuse to have them! :-)

Anything making you queasy or sick: The aromas in our cafeteria. Usually the food looks and smells pretty good, but it's been a little funky this week. 

Gender: We'll know soon! Most of the people I know that are expecting are having boys, so my theory is that our little one is a girl because it has to even out somewhere. I know it doesn't really work that way (and Gabe loves to remind me of this), but I've also been dreaming the baby is a girl. I guess we'll find out soon!

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Increased appetite, weight gain, growing belly!  

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Also, very ready for school to be out next week. The kiddos have been extra crazy lately, so I'm really on the countdown now!

Looking forward to: Feeling the baby kick and move around!
