15 weeks!

Wow, for some reason 15 weeks seems much more substantial than any of the others so far.. Maybe it's just my realization that this is actually real and going to happen!

How big is baby?

 "Continuing the march toward normal proportions, baby's legs now out-measure his arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably can't feel the movements just yet."


 How far along?: 15 weeks! Holy cow! 175 days to go!

Maternity clothes?: Pants only still. My work pants fit but, other than that I'm stretchy yoga pants or maternity pants.

Movement: Still waiting to feel those flutters again!

Stretch marks?: Nope

Sleep?: Is good. I'm not waking up as much to pee at night.

Symptoms?: Still tired all the time it seems like, and my acne is kicking in again.. Ugh.

Food cravings: I'm back to hotdogs, but I'm not giving in like last time! Lol..

What I miss: My nice skin.

What I'm looking forward to: Feeling the baby, and getting the sex confirmed (which I don't think the tech was wrong yesterday..) at our A/S ultrasound.

Milestone: Finding out the sex! Totally not expecting it so early!

Yesterday I got to see Spock again! Geo couldn't make it to the ultrasound, so my mom went. She really enjoyed it and I recommend that to ANY pregnant woman, especially if their mom never had ultrasounds. She was fascinated seeing the baby move and seeing the heartbeat flicker. The tech started by checking to see the sex of the baby. Spock, being Spock, was uncooperative and wouldn't uncross his/her legs. She tried for a good 10 minutes to see if the baby would move, but nope, no luck. So she moved on and took her other measurements she needed. We saw the stomach, the brain and all 4 little chambers of the heart beating. It was AMAZING! I was so pumped to see that little heart beating away and ALL FOUR chambers in place and working. Spock was being the little wiggle worm I know and love and was giving the tech a run for her money. After she got all her measurements done, she tried again to catch the sex of the baby and BAM!


We have a little BOY on our hands!! I was blown away. She wasn't just 80% sure, she was definitely 100% sure that it's a boy. From that picture (I'm not expert), I'd say it's hard to be unsure. I got my picture, cleaned up and went in to see the Dr. My weight gain is good and blood pressure is solid. As soon as my Dr. walked in, the first words out of her mouth were "Well, looks like you can go shopping!". I even questioned if it was that accurate this soon and she explained that she herself (My Dr.) had not second guessed the picture and told me that my tech has 15-20 years under her belt and wouldn't have said anything if she wasn't that confident. So, I got my prescription for my quad screening blood work, my next Dr appt is set and my A/S ultrasound with the high risk Dr. is set also! September is going to be a month filled with Spock! After my appointment, I went to Geo's work and showed him the ultrasound. Once he knew what he was looking at, he walked about showing everyone his son's "pee pee". He started with a more inappropriate word but, I made him tone it down. I can't believe I'm officially Team Blue!
