15 weeks


How far along: 15 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 10 pounds, weighed in this morning we are right on track for twins!
Maternity clothes: yup
Stretch marks: nope, but did buy some coco butter/shea butter lotion this morning on the way to work.
Sleep:  still getting up to use the restroom 4 plus times a night, I did make myself a pillow out of extra memory foam from our mattress pad.  We named it the square sponge bob pillow.   
Best moment this week:   relief of switching doctors 
Gender: to early to know still, but thinking they are boys hoping at our next DR apt on the 17th they will do an U/S and we might find out!
Belly button in or out?: In, but it is wider and not as deep
Craving: not much this week, most food doesn't sound very appetizing.  
What I miss: sleeping on my stomach
What I am looking forward to:  Feeling them move, I may have felt a few little flutters/popcorn popping sensations but until they are more frequent I can't be sure. Finding out the sex of these little ones!  I can't wait and I am NOT a patient person......urgh!


baby center dot com: Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.")  The picture is of twins at 16 weeks, hey close enough for me!! Wanted to post it while I saw it! 

Belly pic hopefully to be taken tomorrow, poor husband was so sleepy and sick this morning I couldn't ask him to get out of bed.
