I am a bad blogger!

This blog was supposed to track my pregnancy, but I am doing a crappy job keeping it updated. I haven't done my weekly post in almost 3 weeks now. Christmas Day I will be 16 weeks! It is so hard to believe I am already that far along. We have started telling more friends and we will be telling Jason's extended family tomorrow on Christmas Eve! I know they are going to be so excited. I have had a lot of people ask me when I found out. When I say October they act shocked. I don't think anyone expects you to keep a secret for that long. Really, I could wait even longer. It has been so awkward to tell people now.

I have been having a hard time thinking about my loss lately. I am so very happy to be pregnant again, but I miss the baby I lost. We would know if he or she was a boy or girl. The nursery would be almost done. It would be time for baby showers and only about 7 weeks till my due date. I should have a big pregnant belly now. I am sure it is just hormones and the holidays, but I have cried a lot the last few days.

It will be out of whack, but I want to go ahead and do an update post!
How far along? 15 weeks 5 days
Total weight gain: I am not sure. I was down 5 lbs at my appointment a few weeks ago, but we don't have scales at home.
Maternity clothes? I have been wearing maternity jeans for a few weeks now. Shirts are still fine, but my pants were getting way tight.
Stretch marks? No new ones.
Sleep: Really crappy the last weeks or so. I toss and turn a lot.
Best moment this week: My friend told me I was starting to look pregnant from the side, lol. That made me happy!
Miss Anything? No, not at all.
Movement: It is still a little too early, but I am should be feeling something soon!
Food cravings: Tudor's Biscuit World bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit. If I don't get one soon, I will probably cry.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I still get queasy at least a few times a day. But, it is mostly better.
Sex of the baby: We don't know yet!
Labor Signs: None. 
Symptoms: Growing belly, nauseousness.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? Still on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Very happy!
Looking forward to: Finding out the sex, my belly getting bigger, registering, the baby shower! Lots to look forward to!

How far along? 13 Weeks

Miss Anything? No, not so far!

Food cravings: I really haven't been craving anything lately. I have trouble finding things to eat, but that is getting better, too.
