Week 14 Bumpdate

Don’t  I look exhausted in this photo? It’s because I am. It was dark outside, we had to use a flash and all I wanted to do was put my sweatpants. It’s only Wednesday but this mama needs a long, long nap.

How Far Along: 14 weeks, 4 days

Size of Baby: A lemon! 3.4 inches long!

Gender: It was too early to tell at our last ultrasound at 12 weeks but I’ve said boy since we found out and I’ve had dreams with a baby boy in them. Cory is still holding out for a girl.

Movement: Still too early for movement, I think. If I’ve felt any, I probably thought it was gas.

Sleep: I’ve slept really hard this week. Not many crazy dreams but still getting up to pee at least once a night. Also had a heating pad on my lower back most nights.

Labor Signs: No! Thank you, Jesus!

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Workouts: A couple of long walks to my car at work and waking around IKEA for 3 hours but other than that, I still don’t have enough energy to do much.

Maternity Clothes: The bump has made a strong appearance this week. Before, it would grow after I ate but eventually all but disappear. This week, it stopped disappearing so I’ve officially switched to rubber bands on my most of my pants. A friend at work picked me up a belly band and I’ll probably try it out in the next couple of days. My only worry is that I don’t like anything tight on my stomach right now. I’m also on the hunt for some good long tank tops. Any recommendations on where to find them?

Weight Gain: Still down about 4 lbs.

Symptoms: My morning sickness has been pretty bad the past week or so. I’m throwing up most mornings, as soon as my feet hit the ground but the sickness does easy off once the Zofran gets in my system. I’ve seen more energy than I had but still get exhausted more quickly. Also, I haven’t had much of an appetite. I’m eating small portions but getting full much quicker than I ever have.

Cravings/Aversions: My aversions are still eggs and coffee {Why? Why???}. My biggest craving this week, on top of my grapes, has been Popsicles.

Missing Most: Waking up and not getting sick.

Nursery: We spent the majority of Monday at IKEA trying to get our office and the master closet organized to make room for the baby. Once we can get Cory’s clothes to all fit in our bedroom, we’ll be able to clean out the nursery. I’ve also been browsing cribs and found a few I like!

Hubby: He’s still great! After driving to Atlanta, walking around IKEA, driving home from Atlanta, he went ahead and put my Kallax unit together that night! He never rests, y’all.

Although, he did make a comment to me about how many gray hairs I have which he quickly learned you don’t mention to a pregnant woman.

Best Part of the Week: I ordered our gender reveal invites and the balloon we will be popping at the party last week and the balloon came in yesterday! It has me all the more excited for our reveal party in a few weeks.

Can’t Wait For: We go on Tuesday for our next ultrasound and I can’t wait to see our little Hot Pie again!
