Today I am 17 wks LMP (15 wks gestational) along in this pregnancy.  
The update for this week:
Sleeping is uncomfortable, but lots of pillows help. I am still trying to sleep on my left side but I find I toss and turn a lot.
The baby weighs approx. 4.97 ounces or 140 grams and is approx. 5.12 inches or 13 cm long.   The baby is beginning to accumulate a little fat now so it's important that I eat balanced, nutritious meals to meet my energy needs as well as the baby's needs for development.  This is also important to keep up with Hadley.  So I try.  
I have gained 20 lbs which is just over a pound a week.  I feel heavy.  Some of this weight gain is from eating out so much on our Olympic vacation so hopefully the gaining will slow a little.  However, from what I remember, this is approx. the same as it was with Hadley.
Still it is good to focus on eating healthy.
