Round 2! 14 weeks

               

How far along? 14 weeks.

Baby Hart is the size of:  A lemon.

Total weight gain/loss: As of the last doctor appointment a couple weeks ago, 2 pounds gained. 

Maternity clothes? Somewhat- in the awkward nothing-really-fits-me stage :-/

Stretch marks? Not yet... except the couple lil ones leftover from Silas;-)

Sleep: HA!!  Sleep??!!! Whhaattt??  The pregnancy only wakes me up once in a while, but our apartment is super noisy at night- trucks outside in the city, clunky neighbors upstairs... it's a good time :P  Feeling quite prepared for the sleep deprivation of a newborn again:P

Best moment this week:  Feeling normal!!!  I was so sick the first trimester, but have felt totally golden so far in the 2nd!!  I forgot how good it feels to feel normal;-)  

Miss anything? Being able to wear clothes without it being an event;-)

Movement: Not feeling it yet, but so excited for it!!

Food cravings:  Bagels and cream cheese!  It was the only thing I could eat in the mornings of my first trimester, and I'm still loving it.  I've eaten a ridiculous amount of bagels and cream cheese the last couple months ;-)

Symptoms:  Sciatica, uff :P  But not puking anymore, which is nice ;-)

Showing?  Yes, but not in the oh-yes-she's-for-sure-pregnant-stage yet, so it can be a little awkward ;-)

Gender:  Thinking girl since I was so much sicklier than I was with Silas?

Belly button in or out?  In.

Wedding rings on or off?  On.

Adjustments?  Adjusting my pants/B-band/shirt/etc. all the time ;-)

Emotions: Excited!!!  And so glad to be in the 2nd trimester!!!!

Learned this week:  That running through my last pregnancy was hard- but running through this one while pushing Silas in the jogging stroller will be MUCH harder ;-)

So thankful for:  Prenatal yoga!  I'm doing the same DVD I did when I was pregnant with Silas and it was and is SO helpful.

Looking forward to:  Finding out the gender!!!  Cannot WAIT!!! :-)

Other highlights:  Trying to tell Silas about the baby in mommy's belly has so far only led to him trying to tickle me ;-)  It' great ;-)

Stretch marks? Not yet;)
Sleep: Not awesome- not used to not being able to roll over on my belly or back in my sleep!:)  So, I wake up a LOT in the night, but I guess it's good prep;)
Best moment this week: Having my friend Julie surprise me by bringing over a bunch of maternity clothes she bought me!
Miss Anything? Being able to pop in whatever medicines I need! Curse you, head cold!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not anymore, yay!
