14 Weeks!

How Far Along: I totally missed 13 weeks, I'm actually at 14 weeks as of this past Friday... the days are slow, but the weeks are flying by! We're already starting the 4th month!

Size of baby:
Baby B is now the size of a lemon.

Total Weight Gain/Loss
: Up 2 pounds, and trying to keep a close eye.

Maternity Clothes:
I'm still able to button my regular shorts, but nothing feels quite normal. Sports bras have become my best friend!

Gender:
There's only about a month until we can find out!

Movement:
None but I can start to feel the baby's little "bubble" especially when Kenna decides it's fun to sit on my belly.

What I miss:
Having energy.

Sleep:
Lots of strange dreams, but waking up less frequently.

Symptoms:
Still feeling like I have no energy. Not so much sleepy anymore, but just no "get up & go." I've been getting a really stuffy nose at night which makes it harder to sleep, and been feeling like I can't catch my breath which is a little scary at times... weird pregnancy side effects.

Cravings:
Salad and fruit, SO thankful to be craving something healthy! I could honestly eat salad at every meal recently, although I did feel the distinct need for a big, good burger the other day.

Best Moment this week:
How excited Kenna has been about babies recently! I don't think she understands yet that we are having one, but she points them out very excitedly everywhere she sees one, even in books & family pictures.


What I am looking forward to:
Knowing which gender to buy for at consignment sales!

And just for fun, here is an impromptu picture of 2 months and 3 months. I guess the old adage is true that you do start "showing" earlier with second pregnancies! Matt made me promise to make him take pictures instead of these bathroom mirror do it yourself numbers... I'll work on that. (PS- Tara and Leah, I stole your number in the picture idea! I didn't label my belly pictures with Kenna and it was a pain later trying to remember which was which. Your way is much easier!).

2 months:
3 months:(Edited to add: I replaced the photo with a non-mirror one, so this is really 3 1/2 months.)

I have been waiting for this post! So far no cravings for spaghetti and ranch dressing? (=

Are you going to add a gender poll on your blog? I can't wait to cast my vote!! (and FIND OUT!) Only one more month! Woo hoo!!!

You are adorable preggo. (=

You look great and I'm so glad that you are beginning to feel a little more "normal". Praying that your energy returns soon! 2nd trimester was always my favorite!

And so glad that you stole the number idea. It does help keep them all straight:)
