15 Weeks

At 15 weeks pregnant, baby is as big as a navel orange. The average 15-week fetus weighs 2.5 ounces and measures 4 inches—and baby's proportions are becoming even more normal, since his legs now out-measure the arms. A 15 weeks pregnant ultrasound would reveal that baby's squirming a ton in there, now that he is able to move all limbs and joints! Baby might even be hiccupping.

How far along? 15 weeks (and 1 day, actually)

Weight gain/loss: No idea. Still haven't bothered with the battery in the scale.

Sleep? Pretty good this week! I think being solo with the kids pretty much makes sure that I am TIRED by the end of the day.

Best moment this week?Dinner with my sister in law, Kate, last night. With Jay out of town I had the opportunity to go on a girl date on Balboa Island at a new Italian restaurant. The food was great and it was a joy to have a night out with Kate without the kiddos. Even if her wine look amazing and I couldn't drink it :-(

Movement:Still nothing and now I am really wishing that I knew where my old doppler was. It is a long time between appointments and it would be nice to have some indication that everything is okay.

Food cravings: Hmmm. Nothing in particular. I actually haven't really been wanting to eat anything except that I do get hungry. But nothing gets me excited. And I don't have any chocolate truffles in the house so that's out.

What I miss? Jay! He's been gone 5 days now and I have 1 more to go. It's a long time without him and it will be great to have him back.

What I am looking forward to? Valentine's Day is Tuesday. We don't normally do much to celebrate this holiday but I still like any excuse to be cheesy romantic.

Milestones: Nothing major this week. I guess 15 weeks sounds like a nice number though.

What I'm nervous about: Trying to convince Jay to get Joaquin's closet done. I had someone out to look and sketch for us and got a competitive bid but it's still not a small amount of money. It's really important to me to get this done but most men just cannot appreciate spending money on this type of thing the way I can.
