15 Weeks

Update;
How Far Along: 15 weeks!

Size of baby: Baby Vander Velde is the size of an Apple & is 4 inches long from crown to rump! Weighing in at 2 1/2 ounces!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 5 lbs. We honestly do not own a scale so I am just sticking with 5 lbs! I go to the doctor on November 1st for a 17 week appointment and we will find out then just how much I have gained since the last appointment!

Maternity Clothes: I purchased my second Belly Band this weekend! I have been wearing them all the time so I thought I better get more than one! I continue to wear it with my own pants or maternity pants. No pregnancy tops yet but lots of tunics.

Gender: We can’t wait to find out! 5 weeks.

Movement: When I am laying down with my hands on my stomach I can definitely feel fluttering and movement but no real active, major movement yet, no hard ‘kicks’ or anything.

Sleep: I’m am still tired but I have been sleeping a lot better at night and going to bed around 9pm!

What I miss: Sushi. I could always have a California roll though, right?! :)

Cravings: Sushi. Root Beer & just carbonated drinks in general! We also got our Halloween candy this weekend and it is very yummy.

Symptoms: Tired. I am hungry a lot, and am more ornery than usual, or at least I like to think so!

Best Moment of the Week: It doesn’t have a lot to do with the baby but by far the best moment of the week was seeing my husband and Father-In-Law finish the Chicago Marathon! I probably tell Dave I am proud of him 10 times a day!
