15 Weeks Update

October 7, 2013

Well I'm a couple days late in posting my 15 week update but here it is. Unfortunately I have no belly picture to post cuz I'm lazy and there's really been no amazing belly growth progress. I lost 3lbs last week (obviously not on purpose) but only got sick 3 times. I'm not exactly sure why I have lost weight. I haven't let myself go hungry and I help myself to desert but it may have to do with having very little interest in meat. I still have a cough and if it's not gone by Saturday, Nathan has mandated that I'm going to the doctor again. I'm not sure there's much else to report. Just livin the life of a prego woman.

Marcy Howard: don't fret...I weighed 109 at my first doctors appointment w/dale, gained a little, lost more....but He turned out fine...its fairly normal.  Its the little body inside you that sucks up all the nutrition.

Chelsea Yancey: I find it pretty normal to lost a couple pounds early in your pregnancy.

Emily Beth Rusch: I wouldn't find it abnormal if I was still in my first trimester but from what I have read, I should have gained 2-3 in first trimester ideally and a lb a week during second trimester but overall I'm down 3. I would understand it more also if I was having a hard time keeping food down but my appetite has been normal and I haven't gotten sick after eating. I just want to make sure that if my body needs more food, but doesn't want it, I start trying a little harder.

Chelsea Yancey: The baby takes what it needs and you get what's left. LOL I wouldnt be worried as long as you're making good choices about what you're eating, getting enough water, and taking your vitamins. I'm sure the baby is getting what it needs. If you were losing a lot of weight or felt unwell then maybe it would be something to worry about.

Kami Walker: and you are doing a great job! excited for you becoming a mom!

Martha Mooney Granger: you are doubly blessed with the baby and Nathan!

Shauna Baang: Emily I hope things get better for you soon so you can enjoy your pregnancy. The first time I was pregnant it took forever before I started showing and I also lost weight in the beginning! Hang in there and I am sure it will get better and enjoy not showing while you can cause once you do you will find all kinds of people giving you advice whether you want it or not!
