Prego...

And not the sauce!

Part of me feels I should log something about this experience... so here I go?

So how far? 15w 3d

Weight gain? 3 lbs since last appointment 4 weeks ago. Up 6 to date. *only because I was post 2 half marathons in one month! I'm always at my lowest post half marathon training! Usual weight til now I'm only up 3 lbs.

Best thing this week: Going in for my appointment and hearing the heart beat again. 147 and strong.

 I was unusually anxious about this appointment. Call it irrational fear that something went wrong in the last 4 weeks and it still not feeling real. I was actually missing the daily queasiness and exhaustion only because at least then it was a reminder. Being in the spot where I felt fine but its too early for movement I would almost forget I'm even pregnant. So this appointment more than anything was reassurance that all is good. :)  Next appointment in a month we find out what it is!!!! I haven't had an ultrasound since week 8 so I'm really excited to see it too!!!!! And really excited to stop calling it... it.

Will we find out?  YES YES YES. We're planners and need to know. Not so I can go all gender specific but so I can properly merge neutral and specific items. I'm getting antsy to start working on the downstairs office so we can clear out that room. As fall gives way to late fall/early winter that'll begin happening.

How am I feeling? Getting tired of the question because ultimately I feel completely like myself. i get tired a little faster and I'm still getting used to not freaking out at the slight belly popping out. It still looks like I've been lazy and eating too many donuts but the time is coming for maternity clothes for sure.

Cravings? Spicy food and mexican. Not really enjoying sweet things which is weird because usually I am a complete choc-o-holic. Its nice actually to not crave it. In fact its the only thing I notice I don't feel that great AFTER eating. I think that will help me avoid gestational diabetes hopefully!

Names? We have some top ones. Only 1 for a boy so far and a couple for girls. There's a spreadsheet.

Diet:  I would like to think that I haven't changed too much of my diet because I was already eating a pretty healthy diet. Maybe just making that effort to eat more and eat regularly. No skipping meals like before! I need to get better at drinking water at work though.

Pictures.... Haven't taken any yet, but I might! as far as a professional maternity/newborn shot, I may ask my father in law because I just can't justify 500+ in money we don't have to get pictures done by someone else.

April seems so far away... but its unreal to think I'm almost halfway!
