Sneezing hurts, baby clothes, and fruits



Nothing too new to report today.... a random side effect of pregnancy has taken me by surprise. When I sneeze (which is very often as my allergies are terrible right now!), it hurts my stomach! This made me very nervous until I looked it up and found that this is round ligament pain and is completely normal. wheww... I guess the muscles that support the uterus are really stretching out right now and it can be painful especially when moving suddenly, laughing hard, or sneezing. So bizarre.

I think I'm going to start a prenatal yoga class this week and I'm excited for that. I'm just excited to be able to work out again, I actually missed running.

We got our first baby clothes gifts this weekend. Oh my goodness, I can't stop pulling them out of the bags and looking at them. They are the cutest things . . . and I can't believe we're going to have something to put in them! I just keep looking at them and imagining the little person that's going to wear them and it just makes me so excited.

I'm now 15 weeks and baby is the size of a naval orange, uterus is the size of a melon. That means I'm showing just a bit. Certain things I wear can hide it still but others "showcase" it. Baby is moving around a lot now, but I can't feel it yet. Next appointment is next Tuesday so stay tuned...




Bump is officially a bump:
