Pregnancy Log - 14 weeks pregnant

14 weeks - baby is the size of a lemon

How far along? 14 weeks

Baby Size: Lemon (According to babycenter)

Total weight gain/loss: about 2lbs, but I hadn't gained really any weight until this week (not sure if 2lbs even really counts) and I don't feel any different than I did a week ago.  Before I could feel myself getting bigger, but the scale wasn't changing.  Now it's caught up to how I feel, at least a little.

Maternity clothes?  Not yet, but I'm wearing mostly dressing with leggings because my work pants are uncomfortable on top to wear all day without unbuttoning.  I think I need to get one of those belly bands.

Stretch marks? No and hoping it stays that way, I'm putting on lots of coco butter, lotion and baby oil.

Sleep: I'm usually a hard sleeper, so I'm been kinda an adjustment getting up to go to the bathroom.  And I like to sleep on my stomach, which is starting to feel weird. But I can't really complain. 

Pregnant BFFs enjoying kiddie cocktails!

Best moment this week:  I had a doctor appointment on Monday and it was the second time I heard the baby's heartbeat - so amazing!  I also put our baby announcement on facebook and my blog. It's so nice not keeping it a secret anymore!

Also, last week I found out one of my BFFs is also pregnant and due within a few weeks of me!!!  I was so excited I almost had a heart attack!  I totally didn't see it coming but it was such an awesome surprise!

Miss Anything?  This past Saturday, I attended a good friend's wedding and it was a blast.  I thought I would miss being able to drink more than I do, it doesn't actually bother me at all.   The only thing is I do get tired and some times it hits me hard - and being tired is no fun.

Movement: A few weeks ago I felt this weird sensation, it was like a rubber band snapping in my lower stomach.  I know it's too early to feel anything, especially that strong, but it had to be something.  It didn't hurt, just a strong feeling.  Nothing happened after that, and I only happened the one time so I guess it will stay a mystery.

Food cravings:  During my entire first trimester, one of the only foods that tasted REALLY GOOD was apples.  I mostly bought Gala apples, which are mild, sweet and crisp but I did like them with a little bit of salt or peanut butter too.  I also loved grapefruit, fruit snacks and orange juice (although the orange juice isn't sounding as good anymore)

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Strong smelling spicy foods seem to make me sick feeling.  I normally really like spicy foods, but I guess not right now.  Logan likes to eat a lot of sriracha sauce on his cottage cheese, and that really gets to me.  I've also made a few dips around the holidays I normally really enjoy, but some grossed me out after.  But I still liked spicy salsa at the Mexican food place on my birthday so who knows.  I think it's more the smell than anything.

Have you started to show yet: I thought I started showing for sure by 10 weeks, but enough for many people to tell.  Now that everything is out in the open, most people are telling me that they can't tell (maybe they are trying to be nice?) but a few have said that they can a little.

Gender prediction: I'm thinking it will be a girl but I'm really anxious to find out for sure.  At my last doctor appointment, they said I would do my ultrasound around February 22 and I can't wait!

Labor Signs:  No

Belly Button in or out?  In 

Wedding rings on or off?  On 

Symptoms: My boobs don't hurt so much now, which is awesome.  Food isn't seeming as gross either so hopefully 2nd trimester will be more of that. I've also been starving the last few days, but then 6pm hits and my appetite disappears.  

Happy or Moody most of the time:  I don't think I'm too difficult to put up with, but you probably don't want to mess with me either :) 

Looking forward to:  Looking pregnant instead of just bloated and I'm going to be scheduling my appointment this weekend for the ultrasound!
