I have so, so much to be grateful for this holiday season and Baby M is one of those many blessings. I'm still amazed at this process (I'm sure I will be the entire pregnancy) and that there is a tiny life growing inside me. God is truly awesome and I am so thankful for this gift He has given me.
How far along: 15 weeks
Size of baby: a navel orange, about 4 inches and 2.5 oz.
Total weight gain/loss: +3 lbs. (not too bad considering how much I ate over the past week!)
Maternity clothes: let's just say maternity jeans are amazing - so comfy and just in time for the eating season!
Gender: anxiously awaiting! We tried the "ring test" while we were in Hilton Head for Thanksgiving, but it was pretty inconclusive. It basically went back and forth in a circular motion, so it could be either one!
Movement: nothing I can feel yet but I pause every once in a while thinking it might be there. I can't wait to feel that fluttering!
Sleep: thankfully, still doing okay and taking advantage with lots of naps on the weekend.
What I miss: aside from the wine, I'm really doing okay.
Cravings: still mostly salty foods and now milk - I think because I've been getting heartburn so my body must be wanting it to calm things down??
Symptoms: I've been hit with round ligament pains this week and they hurt with every cough, sneeze and sometimes just on their own. It's so painful that I have to curl into a little ball to clear my throat. Ouch! Otherwise, I think I'm feeling pretty good and still feel very lucky.
Best moment this week: celebrating Thanksgiving with our families in Orlando and Hilton Head.

I drank SOOOOOO much milk when I was pregnant. Seriously a gallon every other day. I don't know why I craved it so badly!
Glad you are feeling well!
