14 Weeks

Baby’s Size: Lemon

Baby’s Milestones: Baby is practicing breathing, sucking, and swallowing. Baby is also kicking, curling its toes, and moving those little arms and legs. The ears are now properly positioned and the eyes are moving from the side of the head to the front of the face.

My Weight: 149.6 (at night-I'm still below my starting weight, especially when I weigh myself in the morning)

Symptoms: I have had a lot more energy this week. It was the first week I felt motivated to make and attempt to complete a to-do list. I went grocery shopping for the first time in weeks and went to Dream Dinners by myself. I’ve been having a lot of round ligament pain so hopefully that means baby is growing, moving up and I will get a belly soon. I’ve also had a few headaches including a really bad one on Sunday that forced me to spend the afternoon on the couch in pain. I did have a little scare on Monday and spent Monday and Tuesday taking it easy/on bed-rest. We went to the Dr. on Tuesday and she said the baby’s heartbeat sounded great, so just to continue to take it easy.

Cravings: Fruit! Especially chocolate covered strawberries, yum! I’m still enjoying my kiwis, blueberries in my oatmeal, milk, and cereal.

TP: 9

Measurements: Waist: 29 Below Belly Button: 33

Emotions: My emotions were much better this week until Monday and Tuesday. I became very emotional and freaked out when I thought something was wrong with “little baby” as we call him or her. I call Nic baby a lot still so until we know the gender I think I say little baby so Nic knows which baby I am talking about.
