15 weeks

How Far Along?  15 weeks and 1 day

Baby this week?   Baby is the size of an orange. It should have all its lanugo on it body. (That's the fine hair that covers its body to protect it from the amniotic fluid.) Its skin is thin and translucent at this stage so you can see all the veins.  Baby also may be sucking its thumb at this point as well. I should be able to start feeling flutters soon!

Symptoms?  It seems like I'm going to be feeling crappy my whole pregnancy...though I do have more good times during the day than bad now.  But it's hard to make plans and function normally when I get sudden urges to throw up randomly.  If I'm chewing gum or sucking on hard candy, it seems to help so my mouth is all cut up from eating sour candies.  Headaches have chilled out though because I've been able to get by with no Zofran or only 1 a day.

Cravings / Aversions?   About the same.  Not hugely hungry or craving a lot of stuff but occasionally will crave some weird random meal.

Goals for the Week? I don't have too many goals this week. Maybe just to.get out for a walk a few times to get some fresh air. I'm sure I could use it!

Mason?  Mason started grabbing puffs and feeding himself!!!  Just last week, he just wanted us to feed him but he's got it down this week!

I swear I'll get a bump pic up soon.  I've just been feeling so gross,  I haven't even cared or wanted my picture taken. But soon, my friends. There's actually a tiny bump to look at these days.
