14 Weeks

14 Weeks, 6 Days. A little lazy!



Front View

 

How Far Along: 14 Weeks

Size of baby: Baby becomes the size of a navel orange this week.

Weight Gain: 130lbs.

Waist:34.75

What I Love: Sleeping, and seeing my belly grow. I cannot believe how fast it's growing and that it's going to get a lot larger than it currently is (YIKES!!).

What I Miss: Not to much. 

Cravings: Pancakes with butter and maple syrup (thanks Smitty's). Foccia bread with red wine vinagrette.   

Symptoms: Finally my appetitie is incresing, I can actually eat food again!

Sleep: Loving it still. It's definitely one thing that I am loving about pregnancy so far. I usually have to get up once to pee, but fall back into a deep slumber very quickly. I have crazy dreams but it still does not wake me up and I sleep right htrough the craziness.

Maternity Clothes: Mostly in maternity clothes now. Regular shirts ride up and my pants do not do up. Still loving the yoga pants!

Movement: Not yet but should feel something in the next couple of weeks.

Purchase This Week: We bought the dresser/change table for babies room this week. I have loved having a place to organize all of the cloth diapers. We are getting quite the collection and it was really bugging me just having it all lying around. We bought little drawer organizers and it should work wonderfully to store/organize all the diapers. Also another huge purchase that does not relate directly to baby, but will allow us to save a lot of money this summer. We got golf memberships! Now we can golf all summer and not pay for it!

Favourite Moment this Week: Organizing babies room, its starting to hit me that I'm having a baby of my own and that it will take up residence in our family and house.

13 Weeks! Bye Bye 1st Trimester

First belly shot in the second trimester!



I can still hide the bump with looser shirts......sort of!

 

How Far Along: 13 Weeks

Size of baby: Baby grows to the size of a lemon this week.

Weight Gain: 129.5lbs

Waist: 35.25inches

What I Love: That my belly is really starting to expand and look like a cute preggo belly!

What I Miss: Eating like a normal person. I love food so much and am really missing enjoying meals and snacks.

Cravings: Nothing, I'm really waiting for them to kick in!!

Symptoms: I am still having a hard time finding food that is appealing, not sure if i'm losing patients now but it's getting really frustatring and really cannot wait to eat a full normal meal. I also have a lot of discomfort in my right hip, really hoping that gets better not worse but i'm doubting that it will.

Sleep: Its pretty good again, having very wild dreams. No longer able to sleep through the night without getting up to pee. Enjoy about 8-10hrs a night a nappy during the day if possible. I'm also starting to get round ligament pains, which I guess is the muscles that support the uterus stretching. Nothing like being rudely awakened to sharp awful pains in your belly! Freaked me out big time the first time it happened.

Maternity Clothes: Work clothes are all maternity now, and either yoga pants or maternity jeans. I can still wear some of my non mat shirts, but i'm definitely approaching an ackward in between stage where my shirts ride up on the belly and the maternity ones are really baggy. It will sort itself out in about a month I'm sure!

Movement: Not yet, but getting excited. I cannot imagine what it will feel like to have a baby moving inside your belly.

Purchase This Week: We are planning on cloth diapering, so this week I purchased 24 liners for use with our Softbums system. Are they not cute and adorable, also they are incredibly soft and comfy feeling. Way rather put that on my babys cute bottom.

Favourite Moment this Week: Saying goodbye to my first trimester.

Symptoms: Definitely improving quickly, I seem to have a couple awesome days followed by a just plain shitty day. But its getting better and I'm happy. Still having big issues finding food thats appealing to eat.

Maternity Clothes: Still wearing my work maternity work clothes and jeans but shirts are a varied mix.

Movement: Not yet but getting closer.

Purchase This Week: This week we ordered a Summers Infant Slim and Secure Color video monitor. I was going to go with the just the regular, but of course my other half convinced that video was way to cool to not go with it. Hopefully its as awesome as we hope. Monday and tuesday we got almost everything we've ordered over the last 5 weeks.  We had 4 parcels in our mailbox and one to pick up at the post office, and 2 more on tuesday.

Favourite Moment this Week: Setting up the crib with bedding, putting together the stroller and car seat.

I absolutely love the crib and the bedding!



The stroller and car seat which I absolutely love as well!



The best sound on earth!

I received my Sonoline-B doppler in the mail today. I didn't think it would work at 11 weeks and 4 days but after about 10min of trying I was able to locate it. I even have video proof for your viewing pleasure. It really is the greatest sound ever to me and is amazing how quickly you bond to your baby. I have heard that noise plenty of times before especially in researching which doppler to get but I hear my own baby and the tears start flowing!

Purchase This Week: Car seat, got it half price and it clicks in easily to our stroller. We also ordered our crib online.

Favourite Moment this Week: The stroller and the car seat should be coming in the mail tomorrow. I am amazed at the sales we are getting stuff at (gotta love last years clearout). We are well under budget so far, and have lots of time left to get everything else on sale.
