15 week update...

Baby is about 4 inches long (or roughly the size of a naval orange)

How far along? 15 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 2 pounds-ish. I keep finding myself back at my pre-pregnancy weight, but I also keep finding myself higher, so I will just count it as 2lbs.
Maternity clothes? Still rocking the Bella Bands to fit into my pants but a lot of my shirts still fit. The belly feels like its growth has slowed for the time being, so I am able to catch up with my growing waistline. The doctor said this might happen since "my backward titled uterus" is in the process of correcting itself rather than just expanding at the moment.
Stretch marks? Still using my foreign stretch mark cream. :)
Sleep: Other than waking up to go to the bathroom, I sleep like a champ lately.
Best moment this week: There are a few this time!
1.) Watching my friend, Andy compete in the Highland Games. He got second place overall!

This was the hammer throw.

2.) Getting to see Candace in her wedding dress. She is absolutelty stunning in it and my brother is going to be floored.
3.) My work finally agreed to let me work the 8-5 shift rather than 8:30-5:30. Since Adam gets off so early, I have been wanting to move my schedule earlier so I could see him more and I finally got the chance. It is not much but I will take it!
Miss Anything? Still miss turkey subs/sandwiches. When I had my crazy stomach thing in high school, they were all I could eat so i got a little attached...
Movement: Tons but nothing I can really feel yet. We heard it moving on the doppler at 14 weeks but I am completely oblivious to it so far...
Food cravings: Still loving my cereal.After talking to a couple other moms out there and the doctor, I have come to learn this is VERY common. Cereal provides your body with a TON of nutrients these days and that is pretty much what cravings are all about.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Raw chicken or seeing the veins in it after it is cooked. Blegh...
Have you started to show yet: Yup...but still just look like I am getting chubby.
Gender prediction: Adam and I still don't have a prediction on this but EVERYONE else is voting girl.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I am just content! Still get frustrated a little more easily than I used to but overall, I am a pretty happy person most of the time.
Looking forward to: I have all sorts to look forward to lately! My brother is getting married on June 16th, I am throwing my friend Colleen a baby shower on June 23rd, our 3-year anniversary is on July 3rd, and we find out the sex of the baby on July 9th!
