15 Weeks

This week Ethan and I started thinking about baby names. I bought a baby name book and we've been going through it letter by letter and writing down the names we like. We have a list of about 15 or so girl names that we need to narrow down. Next week will be boy names. By far the funniest name we came across was Bethan, which rhymes with Ethan. When Ethan read that one to me, I just about died laughing. - Don't worry baby, we won't name you Bethan! I have been calling the baby Bethan for the last few days though, just for fun.


Unfortunately, the "morning" sickness made a reappearance today, and I haven't been feeling good, but other than today I've felt pretty un-nauseous all week. I think it's probably going to come and go like this the rest of the pregnancy, but I'll take the occasional bad day the over non-stop yuckiness of the first 3 months! I also think the daily morning sickness is being replaced by heart-burn, but it reminds me to take my tums and I need the extra calcium, so it's practically a good thing! ahh, the joys of growing a baby.

Here is my 15 week picture. I don't think the bump looks much different than last week.



In non-baby related news, Ethan started back in school this week so I was on my own several nights out of the week. Back to solo TV watching and frozen dinners :) Oh well, it will all be worth it when Ethan graduates next March. I can't wait! We also had a pretty fun week over all. Last weekend, we celebrated Sukkot and had Sangria under the Sukkah (well Ethan has Sangria), and on Wednesday we went to a Windows 7 launch party that our friend Jacquie invited us to and met some fun new people. This weekend we just relaxed around the house, which was nice because we have a really busy next few weeks coming up!





Baby Update:


How far along? 15 weeks 2 days
Sleep: Stopped taking the Unisom this week, and woke up 5 or 6 times a night, but other than that, just fine :)
Best moment this week: Looking at baby names with Ethan
Movement: Sometimes I think I feel something, but it's probably just gas. Still waiting!
Food cravings: Not really.
Belly Button in or out? Still an innie!
What I miss: Same - Enjoying a variety of food
What I am looking forward to: Same - feeling the baby move!
This Week: Baby is the size of an orange! Continuing the march towards normal proportions, baby's legs now outmeasure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements.
