Week 15

 

So today we went to the doctors and finally got to hear our Babies heartbeat. I was dying to hear it because it had been so long since I had any confirmation that there is in fact a baby in my belly. It's amazing how it works but for some reason I was getting anxious and just needed to hear the sweet sound of the heart beating. It was so cool too. The doctor put the little instrument (not sure what its called) on my belly and there it was! It sounded like a very fast whooshing sound. I looked over at Andy and whether or not he will admit it, I thought he was going to cry. I did a little too. It was just the best moment. The doctor said the babies heartbeat was in the 150's. Also, they checked out the video and pictures from the first ultra sound and everything looked great and the baby looked very healthy.

How far along: 15weeks

Baby Size: Baby Riva is the Size of an apple

Total weight gain/loss: Just over 3 lbs according to the doctor.

Maternity clothes: Not yet

 

Stretch marks: Nope. Just using lots of cocoa butter every night

Sleep: Sleeping great. I'm ready for bed every night about 8:30 or 9:00.

Best moment this week: Hearing our babies heart beat! It was so amazing.

Miss Anything: I do miss being able to eat a sub sandwich from Jimmy Johns or Subway.

Movement: None yet

Food cravings: I'm loving yogurt, lots and lots of yogurt. Especially Cherry or Vanilla Yoplait.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Mostly just the smell of alchohol. Also, I used to love peanut butter and for some reason, it doesnt taste right to me. Its not terrible but just not good. Very strange.

Have you started to show yet: A little bit more. I can really tell but everyone else tells me they can't just yet.

Gender: Not sure yet and I don’t really have a clue. Most of the family thinks it’s a girl but I think that’s just because they want me to have one. The only person who thinks its a boy is my Dad. Unfortunately he was incorrect with my sister as well. Love ya Dad!

Labor signs: None

Belly button in or out: In but I can see in it much better. haha

Wedding rings on or off: On

Mood: Great! ok well I'm up and down.

Looking forward to: Feeling the baby move and just enjoying the holidays with family.

 

Other: I just ordered the Bar Method Pregnancy vdeo and a book called the Baby Whisperer. I'm really excited about both! I know I need to take advantage of my time before baby.
