week 15

Goooooood afternoon! It's belly bonanza day...this is for those of you tracking how chubby I get :) I took this one post-lunch because the belly is usually in its prime around 3pm. Nothing new to update really. I will go to the doctor May 1st and 13th and one of those times I will find out the sex! I forgot to listen and I'm too lazy to call so I guess it will be a surprise when I show up! I do love surprises...

Please excuse the "selfie". I was by myself at work today :)
(Don't worry, I don't dress like this at work. I had a giant sweater and belt...)

Total weight gain:   so last week I said "3lbs" which was actually from week 13 when I had my last OB visit....the TRUTH is it's more like 7lbs large at this point...depending on if I had Mexican that day or not.

Maternity clothes?  I've embraced several maternity tops but can still fit into things like dresses and stretchy skirts from pre-pregnant Michael days. That said, I have a letter in progress to Adidas to complain about their lack of athletic wear for preggos. All of my favorite running leggings seem to cut me in the weirdest spots and make gosh awful muffin tops all around. My choices are muffin top OR pulling my pants straight into my crotch. I'm onto something Adidas....I will take no less than 10% of all profits.


Stretch marks?  Still lathering up with Palmers Cocoa Butter paste like a mad woman. I was recently told there is nothing you can do to prevent stretch marks...and that genetics will always prevail. Balls.

Sleep:  I haven't been napping and I've been going to bed late which equals waking up late. At least I have the luxury of jerking around until 9:30 before I have to leave for work.

Best moment this week:   Getting my bike fixed so I can pregnant-lady beach cruise around the suburbs of Charlotte....I know that doesn't make any sense.

Miss Anything?  Sleeping on my stomach and of course sushi

Movement:  Something is happening down there...I don't think I'm feeling baby movement though. Probably more like Taco Bell movement.

Food cravings:  CARBS

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Chicken wings...what?!?

Gender:  I have myself so confused at this point that I will be genuinely surprised when I find out.

Symptoms:  Randomly waking up in the middle of the night and super vivid dreams. Also my tailbone hurts after days when I exercise. Dumbest thing ever.

Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy, no crying this week....there is still tomorrow.

Looking forward to:  Finding out the sex AND getting a tan on this pale whale body.


In other noteworthy news my husband made this:

Almost one whole year in the making...off and on of course. I will take full responsibility for the delay though.

Good job McWill! He did this with almost no help at all. Well, I didn't help, but I think his brother Nick, our friend John, and maybe even Mark spent some minutes on it. A job well done by all...now finish it so I can use it :) Adios till next time.
