Pregnancy Week 15 through Week 19

Catching up time. I wish I focused more on writing papers right now instead of updating this blog, but this is just way more fun. Ha

At 15 weeks Baby Girl or "Peanut" was the size of an apple. I had started the pregnancy at 123 pounds. By the end of the first trimester I was down to 112 pounds. But by week 15 I had gained all that weight back and was back up to 124 pounds. 

By this week the morning sickness had officially gone away, though I was still sensitive to smell. 

I was starting to get heartburn but I was able to take care of it with either a glass of milk or tums.

This week I was still in my skinny jeans using either a hair tie around the button or the belly bands. 

It seemed as though Peanut had shifted onto a nerve because anytime I would lay down my legs would go numb/tingly.

 At 16 Weeks Peanut was at the size of an avocado. 

I craved Mexican food like crazy. That's all I wanted throughout the rest of the pregnancy.

Heartburn wasn't as bad this week.

I was still in my normal clothes which was very nice.

Weeks 17 Through 19 we were moving from California to Texas. I don't remember much as far as symptoms or cravings. I do remember the crazy dreams had started to have. I also didn't record anything that was different. I had my energy back and I wasn't sick any more. My nose was still sensitive. My feet also started to swell about this point. It was very light swelling and it was only on the days that I was on my feet a whole bunch.  

I felt her moving around week 18. It was very light movement but it was very different than anything before and it was amazing.

The first week of November my California friends threw me a baby shower (that will be the next post), and then E and I packed up our home and drove a uhaul and both vehicles (E had it on the back of the uhaul)  with both the dogs as well to Texas. It took us 3 days.

The middle of November E and I drove back to California for a few last minute items we couldn't fit and for our final inspection. 

We also did some Christmas shopping while there. 

It was a very stressful, yet exciting, and sad month for me. The stress was from the moving and I wasn't able to help all that much. 

The excitement was from moving home to my family and starting a new chapter. Looking forward to our baby girl coming. 

The sadness was from leaving our home that we had made in California for 2 and a half years. That house was one of my favorite houses we lived in during the first 4 years of our marriage. That house I stayed in while E was deployed. That is the house we found out about Peanut. It was a very sad day for me to leave that house.
