Weight Gain: 131.5lbs, so total of 6.5lbs so far. Doctor says its perfect so far.

Belly: 35.5inches.

What I Love: Feeling the life growing inside me.

What I Miss: Being able to stay up late. I fall cannot stay up to watch movies very well.

Cravings: The big craving of this pregnancy has been hiding in front of me all along. Its been the center of arguments and one of the few things I can always stomach. It's dairy, particularly milk. We go through 4 litres every 2 or 3 days, which is crazy. I also love yogurt and cheese and any thing else that is creamy or cheesy.

Symptoms: Not to much going on. Acne has started full force. All my aches and pains have seemed to gotten better and I just feel good overall. Such a relief!!

Sleep: Still sleeping lots and fairly well. Finding it hard to get comfortable not being able to sleep flat on my belly.

Maternity Clothes: Still about the same as last week.

Movement: Pretty sure I can feel the little one wiggling in there. I'll get this weird fluttery feeling that literally makes my heart jumps as it feels different than anything I've felt there before.

Purchase This Week: More cloth diapers. I put in another order and am anxiously awaiting my fluffy mail.

Favourite Moment this Week: Feeling baby wiggling about in there.

How Far Along: 15 weeks

Size of baby: Baby will grow to the size of an avocado this week.

Weight Gain: 130.5lbs, so 5.5 in total.

Belly: 35inches

What I Love: That I'm feel really good and have a lot more energy to get stuff get done.

What I Miss: Sleeping flat on my belly. Now that the weather is nice I could really go for a nice cold beer.

Cravings: Wendy's new french fries, MMMMM. Not craving to much, but am definitely enjoying eating more these days.

Symptoms: I'm feeling good. Definitely getting a lot more aches, pains and streching feelings in my hips and tummy. I also seem to get headaches quite readily.

Sleep: Still sleeping really well but cannot sleep on my belly any longer :-( I am also waking up more having to pee. still trying to nap at least once a day.

Maternity Clothes: I can again fit into my regular jeans unbuttoned with a belly band. I'm big enough they stay up without an elastic holding them closed. But for the most part I am wearing about half maternity, half regular clothes

Movement: Not yet but definitely find myself hoping and wondering when I'm going to feel him/her. Anytime now....

Purchase This Week: Diapers were on sale buy 3 get 1 free so we got a couple of those.

Favourite Moment this Week: Nothing to distinct sticking out in my mind, probably be just being able to organize babies room a bit more and find specific places for his/her things. My belly also seemes a bit ore pointy and is looking more like a bump than just chub and bloating.
