Sweet Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 15 weeks
Size of baby: 4.0 inches long, about the size of a naval orange
Weight gain: +4
Maternity Clothes: Since I have bought a few pair maternity shorts I have grown to absolutely LOVE them. I still wear work-out clothes often too because they are loose and cool. If we are headed to a nicer dinner or church I put on a dress.
Gender: Not sure...yet! We will find out at the end of August/beginning of September.
Movement: Little One is moving but cannot feel it yet.
Sleep: Sleep is still frequent but I do wake up as a turn over. I sleep with a body pillow that I prop under me.
Symptoms: I had an amazing week between week 13 and 14 but between weeks 14-15 was rough. I started throwing up again last Sunday. Had no energy all week and then starting Thursday around 9:00am I couldn't keep anything down. I called the dr around 2:00pm that day and they called me Phenergan because Zofran was not having and effect. I slept from 2:30pm until 9:00am. I got up a few times to drink water and eat apple sauce. That stayed down. When I woke up at 9:00am Friday I ate more apple sauce but within 10 minutes that was up. I made a call in to the dr. They sent me to see Dr. Steidl because Dr. Finke was busy all day. Dr. Steidl basically said "this is the unfortunate part of pregnancy." She checked the HB (152 BPM) and said everything thing looked fine. Told me take the medication as needed and send sent me on my way. VERY glad to hear Baby Evans was doing great. That was my biggest concern.
What I miss: Sweet Tea!!
Cravings: Coffee Ice Cream, Salad, and Chicken
Best Moment this week: Putting Baby Evans' crib together! My wonderful in-laws purchased our crib for us and gave it to us early so Scott could put it together while we are off. We ended up assembling it together. :)

What I am looking forward to: Going back to the dr on August 2 and hearing that precious HB.
