15 Weeks

How far along? 15 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: + 4-5 lbs. total
Maternity clothes? Not yet

Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I'm actually sleeping great. I've been so exhausted come the end of the day, I don't even wake up to pee anymore!
Miss Anything? Wine. And sushi.
Movement: Nothing yet
Food cravings: I guess shrimp, if anything. I've been cooking it a lot more lately ;)
Anything making you queasy or sick? About a month or so ago, everything made me queasy. But now, I'm feeling much better!
Symptoms? Later in my pregnancy with Calvin, I experienced what was diagnosed as SI joint (sacro-iliac) pain due to all of the loosening ligaments. The same pain has returned, obviously much earlier this time. It can be pretty painful at times, so I just need to be careful. Other than that, I'm just tired. A lot.
Have you started to show yet? To me, yes. But in reality, I just look bloated, like I've had a few too many beers!

Gender: We find out in August!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? Innie as of now
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Exercise? Calvin is out of school for summer, so his busy schedule gives me time for Stroller Strides twice per week. I'll take what I can get!
Looking forward to: a whole bunch of birthday parties coming up, the 4th of July, and finding out the baby's gender!!!

Calvin has twelve teeth! He’s been such a trooper getting so many (six in the last three months) teeth all at once.

Calvin has been doing quite a bit of traveling the last few months. We took a trip to visit cousin Mikie for his birthday in West Palm Beach and had a blast! Calvin and his cousins jumped on trampolines at SkyZone to celebrate! About two months after, we traveled back for the weekend to see Uncle Frank who came down for a wedding. Calvin adores his uncles and cousins and loves spending time with them!

My cousin Bonnie got married at the end of March in New York, so we took a trip for the big event! We had a jam packed schedule the entire trip, and Calvin did great even being sick the whole time. Calvin enjoyed the plane ride, visited with lots of mommy’s side of the family, went sightseeing around Manhattan (even rode the subway!), and had such fun at the wedding reception (he napped through the entire ceremony). Calvin even got to see snow for the first time! By the end of the trip, he was so exhausted he fell asleep before our plane even took off and slept the whole way home.

Our friends Eric and Vanessa got married the next weekend about an hour south of where we live on Nokomis Beach. Tim and I were both part of the bridal party, so we made a long weekend and stayed a few days. The wedding was just picture perfect, and Calvin had such a great time running around and playing on the beach!

Traveling is always fun, but it was certainly nice to finally get home and sleep in our own beds!
