15 Weeks

There are not enough words to describe how elated my husband Ahmad and I are after finding out we are pregnant. I decided to start this blog because I think it is a really fun way of keeping track of our adventures in pregnancy and keeping friends and family up to speed on what's happening. I decided to do the chalkboard and photos after seeing the idea on Pinterest and I think it is such a cute way to document my growing bump. Welcome to our journey. 

How far along: In our 15th Week

Gender Prediction: Not sure yet, but everyone is telling us they think it's a girl. 

Weight gain: 5lbs. Guess I did some damage on Thanksgiving. :/  I know they say you are not eating for two, but during my 1st trimester the only way to keep the nausea away was to eat carbs. Doctor said my gain is healthy and normal so far.

Maternity clothes: Still wearing regular clothes. I got tired of doing the rubber band trick with my pants, so I bought a pair of AG maternity jeans at Destination Maternity and I LOVE them, they are so comfortable.

Have you started to show yet: Yes, definitely have a belly and looking chubby for sure!

Stretch marks: No, I have been slathering on my Coco butter and oil religiously. 

Belly button in or out: In

Sleep: I have been sleeping great, but I keep waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Luckily I am able to take naps during the day to help catch up on my sleep. 

Best moment this week: This was last week, but Our Ultrasound and check up on Monday December the 2nd. It was amazing to see the baby and how much it has been growing! We also got to hear the healthy heartbeat. Feeling so blessed for our little miracle. 

Worst moment this week: No worst moment, I have been experiencing little headaches now and then. Feeling very overwhelmed with trying to educate myself on baby products.  

Miss anything: Being a size 2 and sleeping through the night. 

Movement: Not feeling anything yet. 

Symptoms: I have been very emotional, I cry watching diaper commercials. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Very Happy!!

Cravings: Chicken and anything fruity or sweet. I also can't get enough ICE cold water. 

Wedding Rings on or off: On

Anything making you queasy or sick: I still get little waves of nausea when I try to do too much.

Looking forward to: Feeling movement and finding out the gender!
