Milestones: The average fetus at 15 weeks weighs 2.5 ounces and measures 4 inches. His proportions are becoming even more normal since his legs are longer than his arms. You probably can't feel it yet, but he's squirming a ton! He might even be hiccuping in there. He's making lots of progress. His joints and limbs can all move now.
Total Weight Gain: I am up a total of 4.2lbs as of my official weekly weigh-in. So not a whole lot of weight gain this week. But I have definitely grown some in the belly this week.
Maternity Clothes: Nope. However, I can no longer button my jeans and I have resorted to using a hair tie to keep them closed. It is so much more comfortable.
Here is the belly shot for this week ...
See ... I have definitely expanded in the belly region.
Sleep: Urghh! Not the best sleep this week. I can no longer sleep on my belly. And I have had to add a few extra pillows in bed. I sleep with a pillow under my belly and a pillow between my legs. This seems to help a bit. I just wake-up a lot during the night. I am also getting really hot when I sleep so I think I wake-up because I am sweating. And then I will throw the comforter off and wake-up 30 minutes later because I am cold.
Best Moment of the Week: We found out we are having two little boys!!
Sex: Boys!!
Food Cravings: I am addicted to veggie subs from Subway! I could seriously eat one at every meal.
Food Aversions: Nope.
Symptoms: I guess all it took was mentioning the headaches at my OB appointment and getting a prescription for some medication in order for my headaches to go away. I have been headache free for a few days! Please stay away. It is nice to have the medication on hand though should the headaches appear again.
I am officially feeling pulling and tugging these days. I also have occasional cramping. I think the cramping comes if I am dehydrated. I am really trying my best to drink as much water as I can during the day. I am drinking a minimum of 67 ounces a day. This does not include the glass of juice I have with breakfast in the morning. Most days I manage to get about 84 ounces though. The pulling is the worst when I go from a sitting position to a standing position. I seriously do a double take of the ground because I feel like my bladder is going to fall out. I have been reassured that all of this is normal because of all the growing the little ones are doing. It is weird because I can now clearly feel the outline of my uterus. It goes up to my belly button at the moment. Crazy.
Upcoming Events: We have an OB appointment on January 10th and we have a MFM appointment on January 24th. We will also probably schedule an elective u/s in between those dates too.
Please keep growing little ones.
Mary
