14 Week Update!!

How far along? 14 weeks 3 days

Total weight gain: No clue, BUT I'm down another 3lbs from last week... Ordinarily I would think this is a good thing, now I'm not so sure. 

Maternity clothes? Even though I just went shopping, I think I need a new bra already. The cup is fine, but the band is a pain in the ass. I'm convinced the Devil had a hand in the creation of bras. OAN, a nice lady from church gave me a few maternity items. So I have 2 new pairs of pants and a few tops. If I'm being honest, half of the shirts won't make the cut, but at least I have options right?!?

Stretch marks? No new stretch mark sittings to speak of, but I am positive that will change. I don't mind stretch marks as they are natural, pretty much expected and most woman wear them like a badge of honor... I just don't want my tummy to look like a pile of zebra skin when this whole thing is over. Lol. 

Sleep: I've read that it is best to sleep on my left side. It promotes blood circulations and all that other jazz. The thing is, my sciatic nerve is acting up REALLY bad on that side and it hurts worse when I lay on it. I did try sleeping with a pillow in between my knees one night and while that helped me sleep on my left side that night, the next morning I was in pain. It might be time to buy that preggy pillow. :-)

Best moment this week: Mister is agreeing with me that we should do a gender reveal. So we're working together on how we want to tell the family. We set aside the last Saturday in September so HOPEFULLY we know the gender 100% by then. 

Miss anything? My energy, the desire to eat, being able to eat more than 1/4 of my plate and after a day like today, a margarita. 

Movement: nothing yet

Food cravings: Definitely still ox tails, peas and rice and tacos. 😋😋

Anything making you queasy or sick?: Nope, but I don't like the smell of certain meals I cook or peanut butter right now. It kinda grosses me out for some reason. 

Gender: Still don't know and my intuition still hasn't really kicked in. I'm not sure if my mind has really processed that I'm even pregnant to begin with so it's not allowing room to speculate the gender just yet.

Labor signs: Nope. WAY too early!

Symptoms: Still light cramping due to baby moving, boobs don't hurt as much, but I can fill the fullness in my belly when I stretch. 

Belly button in or out? In! (Hopefully it stays that way.)

Wedding rings on or off? On. (I REALLY hope this also stays that way as well.)

Happy or moody most of the time: Definitely moody. I hate the world most of the time. No really. I do. -_- lol. 

Looking forward to: Still looking forward to feeling movement and now add gender to the list. We have a sono scheduled for next week and I'm hoping we can find out the gender then. If not, we'll probably know on the 17th.
