15 weeks

Baby's now the size of a naval orange!
Continuing the march toward normal proportions, baby's legs now out-measure his arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably can't feel the movements just yet.

I had another OB appointment today. Everything went fine, except that I was up 3 pounds. Yikes. But I'm still 6 pounds under my pre-IVF weight, which is good for 15 weeks I guess. Both h/bs sounded perfect; OB said my uterus is measuring more like 17 weeks, which is apparently normal for twins.

And now I think I must accept the fact that I need maternity jeans. I am having the same woman who altered my wedding dress turn a couple of my jeans into maternity ones. I guess the jean makers don't expect women over 6' to get PG. i mean, how could a sasquatch find someone to procreate with her anyway? well, this one did - and i neglected to take into account the difficulty I would have covering up my expanding body. I will have to update you on how the jean modification went once I get them back. Still not sure how I'm going to handle the dress pants situation. It's starting to look like a lot of dresses at work this winter. :(

  1. I'm 5'11" and found tall/long jeans (for $35) and black pants at Motherhood Maternity. I also found the Old Navy has long lengths on their pants (like thier $15 cords) online... I don't know if you've tried them or not - GL!
