14 Weeks

I'm 14 weeks!

 

Pregnancy Highlights:

Due Date: October 18, 2013...some ultrsaounds show Oct. 18, 20, or 21....My specialist did say that I should be induced at 38 weeks so that puts me being induced around Oct. 7!

How Far Along: 14 Weeks

Size of baby: Baby O is the size of a lemon!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 3 lbs

Maternity Clothes: I’ve started wearing my belly band around my work pants or will just linen pants that are drawstring at the waist. I did buy one pair of maternity pants at Old Navy the other day because they were half off.  

Gender: Can't wait to find out! Hoping to find out on May 2^nd!

Movement: None yet

Sleep: I'm so tired - that I sleep pretty well!

What I miss: Caffeine & Boiled Crawfish (I can't lie!) Oh, and being able to take the GOOD medications when sick!

Cravings: Anything SALTY!!! Salt & Vinegar chips are my favorite right now! I love Simply Apple Juice, Farmer’s Garden Dill Pickles, and Watermelon! I’m loving lots of fruits.

Symptoms: Feeling pretty good! Unfortunately, I still have really bad headaches! I’ve been trying to drink more water, and my doc said to eat every 2 hours to keep my blood sugar from dropping.

Emotions: This pregnancy finally feels real since we have gotten good reports from both docs. This makes me elated to know that our sweet baby will be here in 6 months!

Looking forward to: In two weeks, we hope to find out the gender and host a little Gender Reveal Party. I just can’t wait to find out to start planning the nursery!!!

 

Update: I went to see my specialist last Wednesday. Everything looked great! PTL! I must say it is nice getting to see our little one every month via ultrasound even if it b/c I have a blood clotting problem. My specialist is so friendly and comforting that I left feeling like “WE ARE REALLY HAVING A BABY!!!” I know that I should have been feeling this way, but it felt so great to hear from my specialist that everything looked great, and that I have only a 2% chance of miscarrying from this point on. I felt so relieved and thankful that my God is safely carrying us through this pregnancy journey.
