I don't have another appointment until September, so my updates will probably not be as informative as usual, BUT I have felt some pretty regular baby kicks/punches even this early! I LOVE it! Sometimes I just feel like I'm fat and forget I'm pregnant so it's kind of nice to have these little reminders that are so precious!
Benjamin has been sick for almost a week, and now mom and dad have it. I really figured since I worked on one of the most nasty, sickness/disease ridden floors I've ever worked on and I never get sick, that I would be immune to everything. But it's my son's ONE daycare day that did us ALL in. Sore throats and runny noses all around. Usually I wouldn't mind too much but I have 2 weddings this weekend, plus 2 days of work at the hospital. So... Yeah.
I wonder when I can go to light duty (if I can) at work. I can't wait for those later months for that alone! But also to meet our sweet baby of course! This time I have short term disability so I can be home with my family as my one and ONLY priority for 12 whole weeks! I was only out like 6 weeks with Benjamin and it broke my heart.
Anyway, I've got some maternity and wedding photos to edit and an energetic/snotty 2 year old to chase after!

15.5 weeks with Baby #2!
How far along? 15.5 weeks!
How big is baby? The size of a large navel orange!
Heartrate: 154!
Total weight gain/loss: NO WEIGHT GAIN YET! Yay. I know I'm supposed to be "gaining" at this point, I started this one off 20 lbs heavier than with Benjamin, so I have a few pounds already on to feed baby. I'll start packing them on in the third trimester like last time, I'm sure.
Maternity clothes? YES! Mostly pants. A couple of shirts. I'm not really showing yet, but things are getting TIGHT!
Sleep: I sleep in nap cycles this go around. ;(
Best moment this week: Hearing that 154 beating strong and loud on the doppler1 It's so amazing!
Movement: I feel like I have felt a flutter here and there, but nothing regular yet.
Food cravings: Fruit! Oh my goodness. Clementines, grapefruit, pineapple, watermelon, kiwis... etc. LOVE FRUIT!
Food Aversions: Seafood is still pretty iffy.
Gender: We have an idea, but no ultrasound this week so we will find out at the 20 week detailed scan!
Labor Signs: No! I still have some very mild, sporadic cramping, but nothing crazy.
Pregnancy Symptoms? Some bloating and sinus stuff. Nausea has let up quite a bit. Sometimes it hits really randomly still.
Belly Button in or out? In.
What I miss: Sleeping. And sneezing/coughing without fear of peeing my pants!
What I am looking forward to: My husband to get home from his business trip, and to be able to feel this little gummy bear wiggling around!
Upcoming appointments/events: Detailed scan 9/6!
Weekly Wisdom: Pantyliners are a must, and pregnancy plus a toddler is a lot harder than going without! Geez!
Milestones: Baby can start to hear me! It's time to work on those sweet songs!
Bump Picture: I will take one later! I have a tiny, tiny bump.

Movement: I can't feel our little one moving yet! I can't wait!
Food cravings: Salad and pasta!
Food Aversions: MEAT! I have to really not think about it if I want to eat it. Everything fried. SEAFOOD! The smell... Oh my.

Pregnancy Symptoms? Some bloating and sinus stuff. Nausea has let up quite a bit. Sometimes it hits really randomly still.

How big is baby? The size of a lime!
Heartrate: 179!
Total weight gain/loss: No weight gained, but my "bump" looks like I ate too many burritos.
Maternity clothes? YES! Only pants. And only because I never stopped wearing them when I had Benjamin! Ha!
Sleep: I sleep in nap cycles this go around. ;(
Best moment this week: Trying to figure out what can help with the morning sickness! I'm so nauseated this time around.
Movement: I can't feel our little one moving yet! I can't wait!
Food cravings: Plain rice. Fruit. Veggies.

Labor Signs: No! I still have some very mild, sporadic cramping, but nothing crazy.
Pregnancy Symptoms? Some bloating and sinus stuff. Feeling sick pretty much most of the day. :/

What I am looking forward to: Getting an actual baby bump!
Upcoming appointments/events: Check up the 19th!
Weekly Wisdom: Stock up on meds you are allowed to take during pregnancy. You never know when you might need it. (this is still true, so I'm going to leave it!) I will add that ginger ale, Preggie Pops, crackers, small meals, and no movement while you feel sick is probably the best you can do!
Milestones: Baby is starting to look like a baby!
