Week 14 update

Baby is the size of a lemon.

How far along? 14 weeks. (A little behind in the weekly update postings. You'll live.)

Rounding out a bit ... and why did I think
this shirt would fit for the whole pregnancy?!
Total weight gain/loss: I'm guessing still down a few pounds. I've been eating pretty constantly to stave off the nausea and combat the perpetual bad taste in my mouth but not huge portions or anything particularly unhealthy on the regular.

Maternity clothes? Negative. My regular clothes are all still fitting fine - there are definitely some shirts that show more bump than others, but nothing unwearable, and no need to break in to the maternity wardrobe yet.

Best moment this week: Early plans for a gender reveal party :) I'm pumped ... just need some energy to brainstorm and plan some more :)

Symptoms: People, the nausea is worse. Much worse. Like, I was fighting the urge to throw up at work on a daily basis. It's not fun, and I wasn't expecting it to worsen. It starts early in the day and gradually gets worse. By dinner time I'm really struggling. I'm not digging this. And I think my Facebook friends are tired of my whining about nausea and acid reflux.

Movement: I got in a few walks during my lunch break and a few trips to the gym on the weekend. Hoping to increase the activity.

Food cravings: Um, crackers? Not really craving, but tolerating well? Still eating lots of cereal and carbs because they seem to help keep the nausea at a dull roar most times.

Aversions: Most everything. Bleh.


Gender? Still think it's a boy.

Sleep: Still sleeping a decent amount and pretty well. The snoring husband isn't helping, though :)

What I miss: Feeling human. I am fighting some sort of mild, persistent head cold/congestion/cough thing, so between the pregnancy fatigue, stress at work, nausea and the cold, I've been opting to take it easy at night and just rest ... which means not much else is getting done. Mad apologies to my husband and daughter for slacking off on chores and being a general waste of space.

What I am looking forward to: Gender revealing, y'all!

Weekly Wisdom: Rest, rest, rest. Don't puke. Repeat.

Milestones: Multiple people noticing that I'm showing. Second tri!
