Pregnancy.......Week 15





Sorry the picture is not the best :(

Week:15



Weight Gain: Last time I was at the dr. I had lost 2 pounds.. I am eating all the times I can but still can’t gain weight.


What's Happening: I can’t feel the baby yet. I can’t wait until I do. As some of you know I have hyperthyroidism so my levels have been so crazy. They are trying to figure what to do. They think I might have Graves’ Disease. Not sure what to think.



Feeling: I feel so very tired still. I think with my levels off it just makes me crazy. Most of the day I feel ok and then at night is the hardest.


Sleep: Sleep comes and goes. Some nights, I sleep great, but others, I toss and turn for hours.



Wearing: Regular dresses, and tops that are a size larger or looser fitting. I don’t really like pants right now.



Exercise: I'm not following an exercise plan per se, but I try to be active chasing a 2.5 year old around the house after work. I can’t seem to find the motivation to work out. I am so tired all the time.



Eating: I craving salty foods J I am liking beagle bites all the time. Not sure where this is coming from. Eating good right now just doesn’t sound good.



Missing: Running, Coffee, soft cheeses, and my normal body. Trying to play with a 2.5 year old sometimes is hard and not being able to carry her as much.



Thoughts: This pregnancy has gone by so fast with already having a little one to keep you busy. I am nervous about the blood test in 2 weeks to see if my levels have gone up and if I do have Graves’ Disease. It is all in God’s hands and I know he will protect us. We will find out what we are having Oct 31st !






I  feel so bad with the first one I was really good doing updates and taking pictures. The second one I have been slacking and not with it as much. I feel like there is so much going on I don't know how to handle or juggle it yet. This is defiantly going to be a learning process to transition.

12 Weeks

Today we went for our 12 weeks appt. Every night before my appt I never can see because I am so excited and nervous all at once. After the appts I feel so great that I got to see my baby. Today Baby Williams was so active, rolling around, kicking and throwing its hands everywhere. It is just a great experience seeing your baby move. I grow more and more in love with this baby!! I can't wait to meet him or her.
