Week 14! That means we made it through the first trimester, which, I have to admit, was pretty easy on me. I was pretty tired, but never really got sick. I'm ready to have my energy back, and I'm told I can expect that any day now! This week, Baby E is the size of a clenched fist, or for easier comparison, an orange.
He, or she, is growing a layer of hair, which will help his skin stay where its supposed to until it's time for his arrival. He's also moving a lot! (I can't feel it yet, but I'm told) his movements are more intentional. He has hair on his head and eyebrows, and has started hiccuping.
My belly is getting bigger by the day too! I feel like I'm finally starting to look pregnant.
We will go see Dr. Novak Friday morning, and hopefully will get another glimpse of our sweet baby. We may have to settle for hearing a heartbeat ;) We'll post pictures if we get them!
Until then, here's a few fun stats! Have a great week!
How far along? 14 weeks, 2 days
Total weight gain/loss? +1 pound
Maternity clothes? Yes, I'm wearing mostly maternity, with some stretchy clothes. They're just so comfy!!
Stretch marks? Yes, across my tummy. I'm putting cream on them, but it seems like a losing battle.
Sleep? The past few nights I've woken up several times on my back, and part of my lower body is numb. Yikes! We gotta figure this pillow thing out!
Movement? None yet... I can't wait!!!
Food cravings? Red meet, Fruity Candy
Gender? kWe don't know yet. We'll find out in July, but I feel like it's a boy (notice I use "him" a lot).
Labor signs? Nope
Belly button in/out? IN...
What I miss: Dr. Pepper and Wine. (Don't misunderstand, I had about a glass a month before I got pregnant, but what I would give for a glass of Moscato.....)
What I am looking forward to: Our appointment on Friday!
Milestones: 2nd Trimester!!!!
