week 14

How Far Along: 14 weeks

Total weight gain: 3.5 or so pounds.  First few were right away when I found out because I stopped trying to restrict calories.  I have gained about a half pound this last week though.

Maternity clothes: A huge thank you to one of my BRAG friends who brought a big bin over last weekend!  I am wearing some maternity jeans right now and they are super comfy!  No shirts yet though.

Sleep: Actually pretty darn good this week.  Not getting up to pee in the middle of the night as much anymore like I used to earlier on.

What do you miss: Sushi.  I really love sushi and have been craving the Spicy Tuna Donburi from Sushi Bistro Masa.  

Movement: None yet but I can't wait

Food cravings: See above.  None really other than that.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Yep!  Couldn't eat much of dinner earlier this week (chicken, rice, brussels sprouts - the sprouts were something I had been wanting for a while too!), ate too many cookies yesterday and it made me feel awful, and almost lost it while brushing my teeth this morning.

Gender: Don't know yet!

Labor signs: None thank goodness!  

Symptoms: I think I am starting to develop "pregnancy brain".  Forgot to bring my packed lunchbox to work yesterday (Andy brought it), then I forgot to bring it home, then I forgot my phone at home this morning.  I am crying pretty easily (yes I know I pretty much did this already).  Tired all the time (again, I know...).  But physically feeling pretty good!

Belly button in or out? In and I hope it stays that way!

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy but get emotional easily

Looking forward to: Feeling movement - hopefully will start feeling flutters in the next few weeks.  Finding out gender!!!
