Pregnancy Highlights:
How far along: 14 weeks, actually nearing 15 (we didn't get around to the picture until 15 weeks!)
Size of baby: Around the size of a lemon (3.5 inches long and about 1.5 oz in weight)
Maternity clothes: Yes! Pretty much none of my regular pants/skirts still fit so I definitely have to wear maternity bottoms but some tops and dresses still fit. It seems like the more pregnancies I have, the sooner the belly pops out! I am trying to wear as much normal clothing as I can this pregnancy since I really hate most maternity clothes! I recently pulled all of my maternity clothes out of the garage and decided that I will be selling/donating the majority of it. I purchased almost all of it used or on super clearance and then ended up hating most of it in the end. Most of the pieces either required ironing (totally not going to iron anything right now!), were too tight, had gotten holes/seams were coming apart or just plain didn't look attractive on me!
Movement: I *think* I may have felt some little movements this week, pretty exciting!
Gender: I was thinking girl for the longest time but now I'm thinking boy :) We're pretty sure we've settled on a set of names for either sex but no name revealing will be happening until baby makes his or her appearance!
What I miss: Deli meats - I really wanted a turkey and swiss sandwich yesterday!
Cravings: It changes all the time but more recently Italian food
Pregnancy symptoms: The fatigue and morning sickness have really improved lately but 2 days ago I did have what appeared to be another bout of nausea and probably the worst episode of throwing up I've had so far so maybe it's not totally gone yet? And I've already been having heartburn issues requiring me to sleep with 2 pillows under my head. A couple nights ago, I had borrowed Quan's pillow since I went to bed before he did and he never asked for it back so he ended up sleeping without a pillow all night! Don't worry, I've since found a different pillow to use so my poor hubby has a pillow under his head now:)
Best moment of the week: This was really more from last week but finally telling all of our friends and family about the new baby! I had managed to lose all of my baby weight before this pregnancy so I was feeling pretty good and fitting into all of my old clothes and then we got pregnant and after only a few weeks, things weren't fitting anymore. And then we decided to wait until after our 13 week ultrasound to tell everyone and I was having to be pretty creative to conceal my growing belly! So needless to say, I am pretty relieved to be able to just wear whatever I want to now :)
