Pregnancy: Week 15

Hi Everyone!

So, 16 weeks today. :) Apparently starting this week the babies are going to grow like crazy, and I could start feeling them move at any time. Yay! Cannot wait for that!

Here's how the past week has gone:

  • Still not feeling very well. Tried to stop the Zofran and the nausea came back full force. Also headaches, maybe one every other day
  • Not sleeping well at night all of a sudden. Can't get to sleep and/or am up at 3 or 4 AM for a few hours. Have been napping (or trying to) during the day as a result
  • Weight gain is right on track (I'm trying for 20 lbs. in 20 weeks). Boobs and belly just keep getting bigger. I look pretty unmistakably pregnant these days
  • Started thinking about names...coming up with names both my husband and I love is going to be hard. (Fun, but hard)
  • Nesting has begun! I haven't gotten anything for the babies yet, but we did a lot to clean/organize the house yesterday and got new bedding for our room and the guest room...it felt so good to get some things done around the house. Laundry, for instance, has been piled on top of the dryer for months and is now all finally put away. I need to tackle these things on days when I don't feel so sick...feels so good to live with organization vs chaos
  • I've started reading to the babies a little. Thinking a lot about bonding with them, and this is one of the things I'm trying. (Will talk about the whole bonding thing more later in the week...)
  • Worry that something bad is going to happen has snuck back in a little...will talk about that more later in the week as well

All in all, eveything's going along just fine. So grateful, every day...

Hope everyone has a lovely week!

XOXO
