15 Weeks!

Wow! I can't believe I am 15 weeks pregnant today! It is going by so fast! We go back to the Dr. next week and then find out the sex in 3 weeks! I can't wait! I am really starting to feel more and more pregnant if that is possible. My belly is about the same in my opinion as last week, but Joe told me yesterday that I was looking a lot bigger by each day! I didn't know if that was a compliment or not!
I am still starving all the time! I need to watch myself I think b/c I have gained 11lbs so far! Thats better than I did with Maddy at this point, but I need to remember that whatever I gain, I will have to loose! It came off pretty fast with Maddy through breastfeeding and exercise, so hopefully it will with this one too! My back is starting to hurt which makes me a little worried b/c I had horrendous back pain with Maddy! Hopefully not! And right on schedule, I have developed a very stuffy nose and sinus problems at 15 weeks just like I did with Maddy. I read that stuffy noses and sinus problems are very common in the second trimester so I'm not surprised.
My nauseau is really non-existent now unless I eat chicken or see it! The heat makes me really dizzy so I try to stay out of it as much as possible, and if I don't eat right away or on time I feel sick, so in the scheme of things I feel like I'm doing pretty good! I crave anything protein (minus chicken). Cheese, bacon, eggs,turkey, red meat, peanut butter, and salty things ect. Sweets are still kindof on the back burner. I'll eat them, but I don't crave them at all! Coffee is not really something I care about either. If I make a cup, I'll only get through about half before I don't want anymore! Crazy b/c I love coffee!
One thing that is crazy this time around is the heartburn! It is so bad and I usually get a bad case of it every couple of days! I had heartburn maybe once with Maddy and would even eat jalepeno and cheese sandwiches all the time and never get sick! This time, if the wind blows wrong I get it! Maybe that means our baby will have a lot of hair!
We are in the process of clearing out the baby's room and hope to really get started on it in a few weeks. I've picked out my colors for both sexes and are just waiting to see what we have! Baby names are picked out too which is a huge relief to me b/c Joe and I can never seem to agree when it comes to that. I am so excited about this new baby coming and count each day of this pregnancy as a blessing! Thats pretty much the baby round up! I'll post a 15week pic soon!
