15 week update

I am a couple days late on my 15 week update since I was out of the office all day on Tuesday and yesterday I was just too darn busy on my day off.

Baby is the size of an orange this week!  My bump is getting bigger by the day!  I have now made the transition to maternity clothes.  The only piece I was unable to find on my shopping trip was a maternity bathing suit.  I tried a few on, but I didn't find any that I liked and weren't $50 or more.  So, I didn't get one.  I will make do with what I have for now.  I may have to buy a cheap one from walmart in a plus size once I get bigger since I want to keep swimming all through my pregnancy.

My queasiness has gone away, but what I am getting now is a ton of headaches.  It is very common in pregnancy to get headaches...  Luckily, taking tylenol is considered safe, so if the headache is really bad, I will take one of those rather than suffer through it.

We are trying to decide if we want to find out the gender of the baby at our ultrasound.  The ultrasound is supposed to be between 18 and 22 weeks, which means at some point in July (don't have a date for that yet).  We are on the fence right now as to whether we want to find out.  On one hand, it would be nice to know ahead of time, but we also really enjoyed the surprise with J.  She is adamant that it is a boy, so if it is a girl, it might nice to have the last 4 months of the pregnancy to convince her she's having a sister, not a brother.  Or, she could be right, who knows!  Also, if we have a girl, we won't need to buy anything, whereas if we have a boy, we would need to buy some stuff.  And it would mean we'd only have to decide on 1 baby name, not 1 for each gender.  But, there was something so magical about going through labour not knowing if it was a boy or girl and having that be a surprise after all that hard work!  I can see advantages to both sides!  Hence, we're on the fence!  Decisions, decisions...
