15 Weeks

How far along? 15 weeks
Total weight gain: 6 pounds (gaining like a champ)
Maternity clothes? Not yet but did take advantage of Black Friday deals to purchase a top and jeans for cheap. Plus my sweet mom got me pajama pants and a top. Will be ready to wear all these items more regularly soon.
Stretch marks: No.
Sleep: Pretty good. Needing a lot these days.
Best moment this week: Getting the keys to our new house!! We’ve wanted a house for so long and feel so fortunate to have gotten one in a great neighborhood in the absolutely crazy Seattle real estate market. There were 10 other offers on our house and that’s tame compared to some. We are so excited to get to work on our 1924 fixer.
Have you told family & friends? Yes the news is officially out, and it’s a relief not to keep a secret anymore.
Miss Anything? Energy to exercise. I ran the half marathon and basically haven’t moved in the week and half since. Just not motivated.
Movement: Not yet but hopefully very soon!
Food cravings: Christmas cookies and fruit
Food aversions: Still meat occasionally. But otherwise digestion is much improved and I am enjoying eating more vegetables again.
Have you started to show yet? Little bump – the change in size to other body parts (butt, arms, boobs, etc) seems to be occurring at a faster rate than the development of my bump. Oy!
Gender prediction: boy but Justin says girl – we find out on January 14!
Belly button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Feeling so happy about all our good news but was also a rough week due to the loss of my Great Uncle Gene, travel, and struggling with fatigue. Plus big life changes (good or bad) are always a little overwhelming to me.
Looking forward to: I want to feel this baby move! Also excited about doing some initial work on the house to get it ready for us to move in at the end of the month. It will be a long-term project to get the house exactly how we want it. Justin couldn’t be more excited to jump headfirst into all the projects!
