15 Weeks

How far along?  15w1d

How big is baby?  Navel orange!  2.5 ounces and 4 inches long; his proportions are becoming more normal, as his legs are now longer than his arms.  Babe is a wiggly thing, enjoying full use of his limbs and joints, and he's probably experiencing hiccups for the first time.   

Physical differences from last week?  I weighed 113.0 this morning; which is only a half pound gain from last week (yay!), and an overall gain of 3.4 pounds.  I've worn the belly band all week and even a few maternity shirts.  Belly button is shallow.  I've been buttering my belly like crazy in hopes of making my stretch marks a little less obvious.  This is the first week that I'm actually showing!  Hoorah!!!

 

How I'm feeling?  I have a lot of energy and some occasional dizziness.  My thyroid problem with Lucy left me exhausted and irritable, so this is a much appreciated change of pace.  Actually followed my diet all week AND walked every night before bed.  ::pats self on back::  Craved chocolate (which I resisted) and these stuffed mushrooms (which I literally made a special trip to the store for, and then devoured the whole batch)!  I wish all of my cravings were low carb.   

What's been on my mind?  The nursery.  Mostly when I should start painting and shopping.  Also thinking about buying a new glider, kinda like this:

 
What I'm looking forward to?  Anatomy scan TOMORROW!  Have you made your gender guess?

Best moment this week?  Finally starting to show!
