15 weeks

I really hope that I don't offend anyone by this post.  It is just the thing that I have been thinking about the last couple of weeks.

I am part of a message board.  I have been since 2006.  I love it there. There are so many wonderful supportive women on there.  The only difference now is that I am pregnant.  I have seen tons of women get pregnant, have their babies, and get pregnant again while I have been on there.  I have to say that it really hurt.  When Endrit and I were trying for a baby with each miscarriage I saw the women that got pregnant around the same time as me go on to healthy pregnancies.  I had never been pregnant long enough for other ladies to have a due date after mine while I was still pregnant.

Now that I am 15 weeks along, there are women that have due dates after me.  I have never had this knowledge before.  It is kind of amazing.  There is a huge chance that I could have my baby before the ladies that got pregnant after me. I don't even know if I am fully expressing how this feels; but it is surreal to me still.

Now to the stats for the week:

How far along? 15 weeks

Baby is the size of a:  large naval orange

Total weight gain/loss:  -8 lbs (lost another pound this week going back to school)

Sleep:  Getting better, but now I sleep and sleep and sleep.

Best moment this week:  Being able to wean off of Zofran.  Now at a pill every other day.

Movement: Baby didn't like the day I drank Mt. Dew.  Talk about kicking up a little storm!

Food cravings/aversions:   I still don't like a lot of foods.  Potatoes and grapefruit are still on top though!

Belly Button in or out? in

What I miss:  being able to put on sneakers while breathing.

What I am looking forward to:  Finding out officially what the kid is. (Still the same thing!)

Milestones:  A lady at church finally got the guts to ask if I was expecting.  Random strangers, fine, people that see me almost weekly, pretty cool.

Symptoms:  Feeling much better.  I hope that the second trimester will be good yet!
