14

Finally!  I am officially in Trimester 2 of this whole bun cooking thing.  After our great appointment on Friday, I've been so happy.  I keep looking at the pictures of our little baby, and I can't believe that we've gotten to this point already.  In the back of my mind, I have had the "what if...?" thoughts running through, so to be able to see Baby Lorenz moving around, and to hear it's heartbeat again helped push some of those darker thoughts aside.

Today, I told my students about the baby, and it was fun to see their reactions once they figured out the Mad Gab I created that said "Lore Ends Isper Egg Nut" (sounded out slowly to say "Lorenz is pregnant").  I only have two female students throughout the day, so it was kind of cute to see 18-19 year old guys asking questions about my baby, and to see what their guess is for whether the baby is going to be a boy or a girl (all but one class thought boy).

On to the 14 week update!

How far along?   14 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I actually dropped a pound since the last appointment, so right now I am +2


Maternity clothes? My belly band is still my best friend, but I haven't quite made the move to maternity shirts yet.  I feel like I still have a couple of weeks (though today's shirt definitely is nearing it's end for the next 6 months)

 
Stretch marks?
No

Symptoms:
Still tired, have to pee all the time...sore hips today.

Sleep: I've managed to go the last couple of nights without having to get up to go to the bathroom!  I am limiting how many fluids I drink before bed (though now I wake up and chug a glass of water).  Not sure which is worse!


Best moment this week: We went public on at work, and on Facebook!  It was fun to see the outpouring of love and support our friends and family have given us.

 
Have you told family and friends:
See above :)

Miss Anything? Wine.  I could go for a glass. 


Movement: Nope


Food cravings: Again, I hear or think about a food, and then I want it.  Nothing that I HAVE to have right this moment though.


Anything making you queasy or sick:  The idea of a hot baked sandwich makes me queasy.


Have you started to show yet: The bloat/bump is in full force!


Baby is a: ??

Belly Button in or out?
In

Wedding rings on or off?
On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Still pretty happy.


Looking forward to: Seeing my belly get bigger, and starting to feel movement.
