Week 15 Bumpdates!

Usually I do sweet miss Kelsey's Wishful Wednesday but I just answered the "which character from SATC2 would you be" question for y'all last week and I didn't want you to think I was being redundant.  So, I'm passing this week and going to bore you to the point of poking out your eyes update you on week 15 of pregnancy!  Oh yes.  I know you're all SO excited.  So much so that you sprung out of bed this morning thinking "Oh how I HOPE Katie updates us today on her every week of pregnancy!"  Um.  Probably not.  But this will help me remember since I've been told the pregnancy brain only turns to more mush when it becomes mommy brain especially with as much aspartame as I usually consume in my 16 diet cokes a day when not pregnant.  So I'm thinking documenting might help so that when someone asks me about my pregnancy I don't look at them with a blank stare and say "What pregnancy?  When was I pregnant?" which I wouldn't put past myself.  Oh but first, I have to share the cuteness that is my toes with you all.  Yes, I'm about to show you a picture of my feet.  If you  have feet issues (ahem, my Mister), you may want to continue scrolling.  I went and got a pedicure the other day and for SOME reason I'm totally into the big toe design during the summer.  Do we all know what I'm talking about?  I'm thinking it may be a little ghetto, which I'm okay with because, well I like it.  On top of all the ghetto-ness my toe nail polish is teal.  Would you expect any less from me?  Pardon me while I hit enter 852 times to post this picture.  Friggin' blogger, I'm seriously about to break up with you.


{Isn't that cute?  Don't answer if your answer isn't yes.  And if it is, why THANK you!  And only 5 dollar for BOTH toes!}


Now, on to the anticipated bumpdates ...


How far along? 15 WEEKS


{There it is again.  The "V" word.  Sorry about the graphicness that is my female parts ...}


Total weight gain/loss: 6 LBS.  Loss?  Pshaaaaaaaa.  Right.

Maternity clothes? Oh yes.  Never has pulling a gigantic piece of elastic over my belly felt so good.

Stretch marks? Lord I hope not.  I haven't checked.  I try to look at myself naked as LITTLE as possible these days.

Sleep: Sucks.  Apparently I have to sleep on my side now.  And of COURSE the "recommended" side isn't the side I generally sleep on.  I swear by the time I wake up my back is SCREAMING to be laid on.  I usually give in for about 5 minutes and then roll back to the dreaded side.  Thank you Lord for the Boppy Pregnancy Pillow.  I don't know how the cave women did it.  Maybe they were too busy being drug around by their hair to notice?

Best moment this week: Friday through Monday.  Four day weekends are GODSENDS for pregnant women.  Who am I kidding, pretty much for everyone else too.

Have you told family and friends: Duh.  I told you this last time.  Stopping asking me the same questions questionnaire.

Movement: Apparently the little one's dancin' a jig daily in my uterus.  But I don't feel it yet.  I'm still moving just fine bytheway.

Food cravings: Nada.  Except my cupcake escapade last week.  Leave it to me to crave the most fattening things made.  While my dang friends are telling me "OOOOO I just CAN'T get enough of fruit!"  Really?  That's your craving?  How come the Healthy Craving Fairy skipped RIGHT over me and her friend, Fatty Fairy, landed right smack on my hips?

Anything making you queasy or sick: Well the smell of garbage and sewage of course.  Oh and watching those TV shows about surgery.  But those things always make me queasy and sick.  That's why I generally tend to try and avoid them ...

Have you started to show yet: Sure have (see Friday's pic).  Or at least I hope so.  Otherwise I've got a beer gut without the enjoyment of the beer ...

Leakage: Seriously questionnaire.  Stop asking me this.  Or this might become my answer for the "anything making you queasy or sick" question.  Talk to me about personal leakage.  That will make me queasy and sick.  Ew.

Gender prediction: 95% positive it's a BOY!

Labor Signs: If becoming Senorita burp-a-lot is a sign, then yes.



Belly Button in or out? Inwards.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy most of the time.  But steal my Mister's cell phones and psycho pregnant HOSE BEAST comes a-burstin' forth!


 

Weekly Wisdom: "If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you."  Oh ... you meant pregnancy wisdom?  Hmm.  Here's one.  If you FEEL like you might be sick while eating, don't continue eating and "hope" it goes away ...

Milestones: SLOWLY coming out of the nausea stage!


That's about it for today ladies.  Hopefully I've kept you all entertained!!!

  3. I love the toes! Teal is my favorite color too! And here's something that you might find helpful about sleep...When I was pregnant, I asked my DR if it was true that I needed to sleep on my right side b/c I never sleep on that side either. He told me that it was just a myth and a load of crap. I still tried to sleep on my side with my boppy pillow too but if I wasn't comfortable, I said the heck with it and rolled over on my left. Just watch out for Charlie Horses in the middle of your sleep! I've only had them when I was pregnant and I they always woke me up in the middle of the night! Swore I was dying! OK...sorry for the novel! I'm 100% positive you're the custest pregnant lady EVER! xoxo

  4. Thanks for the update! I feel like we haven't touched base much lately so I was glad to read this. About the sleeping on the back thing - I asked my midwife about it, she said that the idea that you shouldn't lay on your back is so outdated and that it's fine. She said any position you lay in is fine - if it's going to be uncomfortable for your baby, you will notice the discomfort first. I know the books all say that your uterus can restrict blood flow to the vein underneath it, but she said that if you were sleeping on your back and this did happen, that your body would notice (you'd get dizzy, have trouble breathing etc.), and you would automatically roll over in your sleep. I asked her about it yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed sleeping on my back last night :) Also, I agree with Jamie - I have just been trying to sleep in whatever position is most comfortable, and arranging pillows around me to prop up my hips and legs. But the charlie horses have started in on me, I've been waking up almost every night with them!

  5. Your toes are super cute! Big toe being painted is not ghetto. My whole family does it and all of my friends and we are the furthest people from ghetto. Lol. Its super long fingernails with glitter and designs on every nail that I'd consider ghetto. Haha. I hope nobody that reads your blog does that....

    Speaking of pedicures...how did you handle it? I mean, I've heard mixed things about pedicures. I've heard that you have to tell the person doing it not to massage between your ankle and heel because it could start contractions/preterm labor. I've also heard that the fumes can be bad for the baby so you should wear a little mask. What do you think? I want to get one soon. You seem to be fine so I doubt you had problems.

I also can't stand those pregnant girls who just "love" being pregnant because they feel fabulous ALL.THE.TIME! Umm... I wish morning sickness upon them all.. Glad yours is finally dying down!

  18. Oh and it sounds like some others above me already eased your mind on the sleeping on your side thing. I asked my doc about it and since he is about the most laidback human being and totally realistic, he was like, you can MAKE the pregnancy miserable by following everything you hear, or listening to your own body. Totally safe..
