15+ Weeks


Its hard to believe that I am 15 weeks already! My belly looks way to big for how far a long I am. This is my fourth baby and perhaps my body is simply not even trying to hold it in. But its out there. Certainly not the most flattering picture of myself... but the house is clean, laundry is up to date, Milli is sleeping and I felt like updating my blog... so I didn't wait for Dave to get home to take a better picture.

This pregnancy has been weird. I haven't really felt pregnant. I don't ever get sick or throwupy, this time has been no different. I have been a little tiny bit naucious and food that usually sounds good, hasn't. I haven't been tired like I have with the other pregnancies. I have been just normal. All of this is so hard, mentally and perhaps a little emotionally as well. Its hard to believe that I really am pregnant. I have been a total worry wart about this baby as well. I have seen it three times, seen the heart beat twice (nice and strong) and have heard that precious sound once. I have had a priesthood blessings and I have been blessed with a body that can carry this baby, why am I still so doubtful?!? I already feel like I love this baby (as I have all of them, even the ones lost). I want it to be mine so badly! I wish I felt more pregnant, if there is such a thing. For now I will count the days until my next Dr.'s appointment.

I think I have felt the baby move... but its not constant. When did you first feel your baby move? How frequent was it?

Oh my goodness...look at that pansa! If you aren't pregnant, you should be worried because of that pansa! :) I'M JUST KIDDING. That little belly is cute. I love it.

I think I was about 28-30 weeks when Nancy said I should feel the baby kicking regularly. Your baby is so tiny right now that you will only feel kicks once in a while.

Every pregnancy has been different of when I could feel the baby move. When I was pregnant with Kyle I felt the same as you. I didn't feel pregnant at all and he was the best baby. (Maybe that was because my body thought I had never stopped being pregnant. Austin was only 3 months when I got pregnant with Kyle.)Haha

At this point I'm not sure that anyone feels a whole lot of movement. Maybe a little "fluttering" now and then, but I definitely didn't feel movement at 15 weeks.

I don't think I felt my babies move regurlaly til later...about when I found out the sex of the baby which for both of mine me was about 20 weeks...You look so cute...very cute little belly...maybe you not feeling so pregnant has to do with you being in such a good shape with all the training and running you have being doing...this no big deal to your body after all that...I want to see pics of the fourth little monkey. Love you!

I felt it a lot sooner with Noah. I think about 14 weeks. It was like little taps every once in a while and more when I was leaning forward squishing him.

I love the picture. You look great. I felt both my girls early... I'm serious. I felt them both at 11 and 12 weeks. By the time 40 weeks rolled around, I was REALLY tired of being kicked. :)

I usually feel it around 16 or so weeks. With my last pregnancy it seemed a lot later... but I can't remember.

You look great and way to go making the house spotless!

I told you you can borrow my fetal heart monitor! I love it... and is easy to use. Very reassuring :)

You look cute! I start feeling movement around 19 or 20 weeks or so. Good luck!
