Pregnancy brain is in full-swing now.  I lose what I’m doing, constantly misplace things, forget stuff almost instantly, and have turned into a bit of a clumsy mess.  Despite the fact that I’ve turned into a bit of a bumbling ditz, KC has taken it all in stride and (luckily) doesn’t get too put-out when it takes me a solid extra 5 minutes to leave the house because I constantly have to go back to retrieve something I forgot to grab on the way out.

weeks: 15 1/2

baby’s size:  navel orange

i’m feeling:  better than the 1st trimester.  my morning sickness seems to finally be winding down; and while nausea returns occasionally, the all-the-time puking seems to have stopped.  feeling a little tired lately, but hopefully my new iron supplement will combat some of that fatigue, which my doctor says is most likely due to my recurrent anemia.

food love: taco bell.  yep, you read that right.  I’ve never been a “run for the border” kind of gal, but i made KC stop for it twice (!) this past weekend.  i’m also obsessed with fruit — i eat my weight in clementines and honeycrisp apples daily.

food hate:  meat by itself is still pretty unappealing.  and the smell of meat cooking — ugh.

3 pros for december:  1. no more puking! (hopefully!)  2. it’s december — the best month out of all 12 (because christmas, hello!)  3. looking a little bit more “pregnant” and a little less “i’m having a super-delicious holiday season.”

3 cons for december:  1. obviously, there will be no holiday cocktails for me this year.  wah wah.  2. still combating the fatigue lingering from the 1st trimester (c’mon iron pills!)  3.  holiday party dress-up is a little less fun when it looks like you swallowed a kiddie-sized soccer ball.

currently living in:  my regular gap jeans + bellaband.  as for tops, so far nothing is beating the handful of banana republic tops i bought about a month ago.  (and let’s get real, as soon as i get home — the pj’s go on asap.)

looking forward to:  celebrating the holidays and mine + kc’s anniversary this month!  oh yeah, and of course the 12 dates of christmas. 🙂

dreaming about:  sleeping through the night comfortably.  between getting up to pee every 5 minutes and still trying to figure out how to sleep on my side, the whole “uninterrupted sleep” thing is just not happening these days.
