15 weeks baby 2.0

well here we are at 15 weeks. crazy. so i am feeling better, sinus infection seems to be gone, the skin rash i got as a reaction to the antibiotic is less itchy, the sun is out and it is warm! and next week is my last week of class. yay! i only have one class that has a final so everything else, the last midterm, the paper and project are all due next friday. so this weekend will be busy. we're having a baby shower for my sweet cousin at my house on saturday so that will be fun! we have our anatomy scan on wednesday so hopefully we can find out the gender of this little sweet pea!! and hopefully i can feel a little less worried, because i feel like there have been so many energy draining, meltdown inducing difficulties since i've been pregnant i just worry about the well being of this little one. plus, i'm pretty sure i have felt the baby move a few times but it's still too little for me to really feel the movement consistently so i'm in this state of limbo where there isn't a physical sign to reassure me that baby is ok. i freaked out a few days ago because although i remember feeling z squirm around early, probably around 14-15 weeks, for some reason i remembered feeling him moving consistently at that point. so then i started panicking that i couldn't feel this baby move a lot, what if there is something wrong with it? etc, etc. but then i looked at my blog and saw i didn't feel z moving around all the time til i was more like 16-18 weeks. phew. add that on top of the painful cramping i had, it leads to pregnant mama panic. hopeful all is well. because i started to feel better this week i helped hubs in the yard a little bit, cooked some meals, cleaned, and we got to spend Memorial Day with our dear friends and see their sweet new baby. it's been nice to re-enter the world of the living!

How far along:  15 weeks
Size of baby:  about the size of a navel orange, 4.5 inches long, is making breathing movements and its ears and eyes are moving to the proper places in the head
Total weight gain/loss: still only up 1-2 lbs from being sick
Maternity clothes: yea, and some regular clothes
Movement:  hopefully! i haven't felt the baby move lately
Sleep: it's ok, takes me awhile to fall asleep
What I miss: being calm(er)
Cravings: nothing much yet, mainly i want to eat berries and other fruits but haven't really craved anything
Symptoms: still have some days of nausea and queasiness, but it seems to be less frequent as long as i snack all day between meals, cramping, round ligament pain, nothing too bad this week
Best moment this week: spending time with the nooshes and meeting their new baby, having a few free hours when z went to play at his cousins' house, feeling better, registered for commencement!
