14 weeks!

Today I am 14 weeks... 26 left!

That's the only way I could get MK to take a pic with me! We are all decked out in our 4th of July gear!

How big is baby? The size of a lemon

Total weight gain/loss: + 4lb... goal in second trimester is to gain 1lb/week or less! I am noticing myself gaining easier lately, trying to think positively about weight gain is such a hard thing to do!

Sleep: Still waking up once/twice a night to pee, but can go to sleep fast and wake up feeling refreshed! I went without my daily afternoon nap on tuesday and I survived! I'm hoping I can start dropping those so I can get more things done around here, but if not, i'll keep taking it easy! :)

Movement: Definitely feeling baby sometimes, I can now tell the difference between gas and those little baby flutters!

Symptoms: Less nausea when I'm hungry (yay!), indegestion after eating- trying to eat small meals to help with that, frequent urination, fatigue, round ligament pain!

Food Cravings:  This week it's Dean's French Onion dip and Ruffles... My good friend Leah got me hooked! Watermelon, mac and cheese and bugers are still cravings too!

Don't blame me if you try this and become instantly addicted! :)

Gender: at least 6 more weeks until we find out! :) Can't wait. I go back and forth as to what baby is, I'd be thrilled either way, but hoping MK gets a sister!

Belly Button In or Out? Still in! :)

What I miss?: Fitting into my cute summer shorts/tops. I've officially retired the belly band and I'm wearing maternity pants all the time.

What I'm looking forward to?: Getting some energy back in the second trimester, getting belly bean's nursery set up after we find out the gender, visiting my parents in England in a few weeks, feeling Belly Bean kick more and Mike feeling BB kick! My appointment next friday- getting to hear BB's heart beat again!

Milestones: Baby's pretty much all developed, just doing fine tuning and getting bigger for the next 26 weeks!

Big Sister: Is now getting the concept that baby's can be in tummies (She knows that my good friend Jessica's little boy Jude is on her tummy, but she's almost due so it's more obvious that there's something in her belly!), she still says that she has a baby in her belly too. "Mammie baby belwy too!" as she lifts her shirt up! She turns two in just over a month... NOO!! She's getting way too big!
