Fifteen Weeks

A friend of mine has been posting about her pregnancy on her blog, and I like her idea so I'm going to copy her (hope you don't mind, Damie...).

Size of Baby: An apple

Cravings: Sour things, pickles (sounds very cliche), cheese. Most of the time I don't have a craving for something until I hear something mentioned or see it somewhere, or a picture of it. Then I crave it until I get it. Sometimes the actual taste is not the same as what I was craving, or my stomach turns once I eat it.

What is Different This Time Around: Much more nausea. I was fatigued for the whole first trimester, not sure if that was just pregnancy, or having two little girls to keep up with at the same time. I'm feeling more energy now though, thankfully. Our house is looking much more live-able now that second trimester is here. I have different cravings than I did with Hope and Haven. I think I craved sweet things a lot more with both of them. Also, no salt craving this time around. With Haven, I had pica for salt. I would eat it by itself... Not so this time around.

Symptoms: Almost constant nausea, double sneezes, Braxton Hicks contractions, and small baby flutters.

Appointments: April 19 is the next OB appointment. Just a normal prenatal visit. Nothing special... I think the ultrasound will be at around 18 weeks. Oh, and for those who might be wondering, we are not going to find out gender until the baby is born. We like the suspense and surprise.
