Baby bump: 15 weeks

Time for the 15 week update!

I have a few other posts in the works, but just haven’t put the effort into getting them finished yet. After inadvertently taking a couple months off of blogging from The Purple Carrot and beginning this blog, I haven’t quite  gotten into a blogging groove yet, but hopefully I find my way into one soon.
One thing that I won’t miss, though, is these weekly updates. So here we go …

15 Weeks: Me

• Overall: Still feeling good this week overall. I had a mini cold for a couple of days that made me pretty tired.  Thankfully, it was pretty short lived and I bounced back easily.  I’ve also had a few evenings where nausea has come back, but nothing too bad at all, just a bit uncomfortable.
• Food: Hmm, nothing really new on the food front this week, and not particularly any huge cravings or changes.  I’m pretty much tired of pasta, veggies and chicken sausage and have mostly been thinking about kale, especially The Westside Local’s kale salad. After recently moving away from downtown KC, I sure have wished during this pregnancy I could still walk right up the street and get all my Westside cravings but I guess it makes it that much more delicious when I can’t do that anymore.
• Bump: See above, ha. I feel like thanks to my sister and a few shopping ventures I’ve got a nice new wardrobe forming to suit my needs the next almost 6 months.  It’s actually been kind of fun for me finding pregnancy clothes while looking forward to spring right around the corner and being able to wear capris, open toes shoes and no coats. (But I suppose I shouldn’t jump ahead of myself toooo much seeing how there’s still lots of snow outside)
• Mood: Mood this week has been pretty good, I’d say, aside from the cold I kind of had earlier in the week that left me exhausted. Emotionally, I’m definitely still more “myself”, though those hormones can still take over at any moment without so much as a warning!

15 Weeks: Baby

• Baby’s age: 15 weeks, 1 day
• Baby’s size: size of a navel orange; approximately 4.0 inches
• Baby’s weight: 2.5 oz
• Baby is now able to rub its eyes, yawn, blink, and has the ability to grasp the umbilical cord.  Hairline is forming and hair is now growing on its head, and baby can also now hear sounds.
