Baby Update

Saturday, March 5, 2011

Alrighty, we have now officially entered the second trimester - WAHOO!! 15 weeks this week, and my baby is the size of an apple. Considering what I have been craving, this size makes me happy. Now when I see a nice, juicy, lucious green apple I simultaneously salivate and get warm fuzzies thinking of my coming little one. Love it. Other than that, my symptoms have mostly subsided. Still no morning sickness, and smells have to be really strong again to bother me. YAY. On the other hand I'm starting to feel more awkward and bulky, though I'm not hardly showing at all. I have to sleep on my side most the time, with occasionally sleeping a few minutes on my back. Turning over is terrible, it sends sharp pain through the side of my tummy. I have to be careful sometimes. I have also hit the chronically tired stage. I could seriously go to bed at 7pm each night. My nose has also been super over active as well. Stuffy, clogged sinuses, a little bit of pressure through my ear and jaw as well. I was worried it was a sinus infection so I made a quick visit to my doc this past Monday. No infection. After speaking with him and reasearching a bit, IT hink it's regular pregnancy symptoms, especially since they were absolutely terrible three days straight, and now today it's only mucus in the back of my throat. All well. :) We have a regular appointment this coming Monday, and if there are any developments, we will let you know. THis week my countdown says the baby is 5" and 3 1/2 oz. Movements are coordinated and eyebrows and eyelashes appear. 15 weeks and 3 days along! The baby is the size of an apple.
