Aversions and Cravings

So, we are ending the 15th week of our pregnancy. I need to catch everyone up on what has happened. I have having serious food aversions that include (but aren't limited to): red meat, onions cooking, green peppers, bananas. It does drive Chris a little bit crazy, because it limits our options on dinner choices. I haven't really had any cravings. Although I do enjoy mac and cheese and chicken. I am not hungry most of the time but thirsty all of the time!
In the beginning I was sick a lot. By the way, the person that named it morning sickness was very wrong. Sickness happens all day long. I believe that I am over it, but I do sort of have a gag reflex going on when I brush my teeth and take my prenatal vitamins. In addition to the sickness, I am tired all of the time. It is crazy how much I needed to sleep! I would fall asleep watching T.V. or reading. I am thankful that my husband allows me to take much needed naps. This has helped me to leave school earlier and be more efficient when I am awake. I am still working on this especially at home with cleaning!
Today, Chris and I think that we felt the baby kicking! I had thought I had felt the baby kicking this weekend, but I thought maybe it was just wishful thinking. Tonight, while Chris was making dinner, he thought he felt the baby kicking too! We aren't sure, but it is exciting either way. According to our baby book the baby is only about 4 inches long. The baby will be growing a lot in the next few weeks (or so says the book). I have noticed that my clothes don't fit. They are too small, and I normally end up with buttons undone on my pants. My chest is also much larger. I cannot wear any of my button up work shirts!
Marvin seems to be adjusting to me being tired more often. He likes to sleep with me on the love seat which is hard to do comfortably with a 90 pound dog. Marvin doesn't even look at me anymore when he is ready for his walk. He knows that I am a lost cause. We are taking him to a class, and he has improved his behavior. It is hard for him, because he still is a spoiled puppy.
I am sure we will have more to post soon! My parents are visiting this coming weekend, and it seems it will be filled with exciting activities. Also, Chris and I will post belly pictures as well.
