15 weeks tomorrow. It sure does seem like time is flying by… yet at the same time I’m so anxious for the next month to go by!! I cannot WAIT to find out what we have growing inside me, a boy-child or a girl-child. I’ve been thinking about which I would prefer, and I honestly, truly can not answer. Both just seem so wonderful to me. I’m going to be so thrilled either way!<\/p>\n

I need to stop leaving updating this as the last thing I do at night, when I’m too tired to remember what I was going to write. This journal is rather important to me, I need to keep up with it!<\/p>\n
I want to say my nausea is improving (or, well, disappearing), but I’m afraid to jinx it. It’s gotten a little better. I’ve been able to keep most things down, although sometimes I wonder if it’s just because I’m avoiding everything that ever made me sick. But even tonight, we were at a halloween party and I was eating and eating and eating. And I never really felt sick. Hungry, yes. Sick, no.<\/p>\n
Although today at work I did puke. I was working away in this one spot and a cat went and used the litterbox RIGHT next to me… it STANK. I went running into the house to heave a little bit. Grrrrr. Evil freaking cat.<\/p>\n
And hungry, yes, hungry. Today at a party we went to, I was basically stationed by the food table, eating everything. I felt kind of bad, I ate practically all the chips and had like 2 or 3 cupcakes… in addition to sampling everything else on the table. Last night I was up late, and I’d eat something… then an hour later suddenly I was starving again. Today I ate before work, then had to drive to Subway a couple hours later to buy a sandwich. My boss was giving me a funny look as I ate it, back at work. Since I have very strange eating habits that usually garner some odd looks, I just figured that’s what it was, but then she said, “You’re eating like you haven’t seen food in days.” LOL! Well… it was good.<\/p>\n
Despite all the eating, I’m still not putting on any weight. Maybe it’ll be different tomorrow morning, but this morning I got on the scale thinking for SURE I’d have put on a pound this week… and instead I was showing 140.something! (I started, at 4 weeks, at 142. I have been down to 139, then up to 141, but I have not yet hit 142 again!) I really hope the midwife doesn’t get upset about my lack of weight gain. She did kind of give me a frown last<\/i> appointment when I’d lost 1-2 pounds… and that was 3 weeks ago. Oh well. Like I said to Kel, there’s not much I can do but eat… I’m not going to intentionally stuff myself just to gain weight. I’m sure it’ll happen when my body’s ready. (And I hope it doesn’t go overboard to make up for this!)<\/p>\n

A lot of my friends from my various pregnancy groups online are reporting that they’re feeling movement. I’m not. I don’t feel anything that I could even consider being movement from the baby… I don’t even feel “gas” movement. I think when I do feel something I’ll be confused for a while about what it is, and then shocked when I figure it out. lol<\/p>\n
I’ve been feeling a lot of twinges still. More today than I was the past few days. Sometimes my left, sometimes my right. And today, while standing for any length of time at a party, I felt my cervix area (or something down low) ache really funny. Very reminicsent of my AF cramps I used to get – but much lighter. When I sat down I was fine. I kind of took it as my body’s way of requesting that I please sit down!<\/p>\n

Pregnancy hormones in full swing… a stupid disagreement\/argument with Den resulted in me BAWLING my eyes out. WTF? We argue all the time over stupid shit, and I frequently get angry, but I can’t say that I frequently crawl into bed crying pitifully because of it. And before and after that episode, I was feeling VERY lovey-dovey all day.<\/p>\n

I “solved” the bra confusion…. umm, half of it. I measured myself, and my underbust is most definitely just under 32″. Then I looked up online… you’re supposed to add 5 to that to get your band size! So my band size would be around 37. Makes sense… I’m in a 36, and it fits just barely. So then I am supposed to take my overbust measurement around my boobs, which was 38″. Which, when applied with the band size, gives me 2″ difference which makes me a B cup. WHAT? I haven’t been a B cup in years. (And when I bought my 36C cup, I was measured for it at JCPenny and it fit perfectly.) So a) the lady who measured me screwed up in a big way, because she didn’t add 5 to the band measurement, and b) I still can’t figure out what cup size I’m “supposed” to be. How can i fit perfectly (actually, I’m bulging out *slightly*) of a C cup, yet I measure only 2″ difference? o.O Bras have always confused me… I think I give up. It’s obvious I’m a 36C for right now… and at least now I own a bra extender if the band gets too tight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
