Week 15

Back to work this week!! And I am exhausted!! 4:30am wake ups with a Statistics exam thrown in the middle was definitely a reality check after my 2 weeks off work. We have been going to bed before 8pm every night. I like to let Nick know that it is because I am exhausted from work AND growing a human and he should be fine to stay up and party because he isn't the one growing a human... I think he just goes out in sympathy with me! Heartburn has been PAINFUL this week and 3 people have recommended fruit tingles.. So will have to get me some of those. The only person at work that knows I am pregnant is my Boss so he has been watching me carefully to make sure I am not lifting the heavy things... It's amazing how heavy things become when you know you shouldn't be lifting them. And also how much I usually use my stomach muscles to move the big racks at work... I am a lot more conscious of it now!

Onto the bump photo! My 'bump' now pokes out further then the button of my jeans so I can definitely see some progress in the belly department.... Although Nick doesn't think there is anything there yet!

What is the baby up to this week? Baby T now gets the hiccups and the legs and arms are catching up to his or her tiny body and big head. He or she is forming the taste buds and if we were to shine a light onto my belly Baby T would move away from it! Simply amazing!

Maternity clothes? Not yet but I am going to need some new work pants very soon because the ones I have don't have a way to 'undo' them when my belly gets bigger!

Stretch marks? Nope but my skin is so so itchy all the time.

Sleep: Heaps and it is amazing! Although I have to get up 3-4 times a night to wee..

Best moment this week: Although not baby related going back to work and having all the congratulations (for the wedding since everybody is still oblivious to the pregnancy) and getting to talk about our wedding was really nice.

Miss Anything? Being able to run without having to hold my chest! Even with a great sports bra anything more than a walk is just not possible.

Movement: Not yet by cant be too long away!

Food cravings: Watermelon and salad which aren't the best in winter but so yummy.

Anything making you queasy or sick: The smell of coffee and the smell of the pizza rolls when they come out of the bakery very at work.. GAG!!!

Have you started to show yet: To me.. Yes! To anybody else probably not. What do you think?

Gender prediction: Ahhh I just don't know! Janette had a dream it was a boy and Teaghan's had a dream it was a girl! Saying 'his' and 'he' is so easy these days though!

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Happy or Moody most of the time: Unbelievably happy! Ecstatic! Time is flying and it feels like only yesterday we were pacing the hallway waiting for the pregnancy test to say 'Pregnant'!

Looking forward to: Next Thursday we have our Maternity and birthing Centre tour and we can't wait!

Well that is all for this week!

Love from us (all 3 of us) xxoo
