Fifteen Weeks

Weeks along: 15
Weight: I forgot to wiegh myself this morning. I'm pregnant, give me a break.
Waist: 38 (up half an inch from last week!)
Symptoms: I had a huge dose of hormones this week that sent me into a crying mess over nothing. That was fun. I'm still waiting for that extra energy I'm supposed to get in my second trimester. Maybe if I exercise...

I'm starting to get to the point where I can be really excited. According to measurements and such, all the medical people said my first baby died at about 16 weeks. Personally, I believe that it happened at 17 weeks. So once I get past the next two weeks I will be further along with a live baby than I got to last time. It seemed like I was pregnant for a long time before we found out the baby had died, but this time around it seems like no time at all. In only 5 more weeks I will be halfway done with this pregnancy. That's nuts to me! I look forward to it, but it seems so unreal. Once I get past 20 weeks, and when I feel the baby move on a regular basis, I'll be so much more comfortable with the idea of having a baby. Good thing there's another 20 weeks (or so) after that to get used to the idea of bringing a baby home. I'd be in trouble, otherwise.
