14 Weeks

Ok, Ok I know I'm a bit late on this post seeing as a) I missed week 13 entirely and b) I'll be posting my 15 week photo tomorrow but for those of you who've been waiting patiently be excited...some MAJOR bump growing has happened since my last post!

How far along? 14 weeks 3 days
Total weight gain/loss: up 2lbs
Maternity clothes? Nope, although I did rock the unbuttoned jeans look a couple times this week
Stretch marks? None
Sleep: Sleeping great minus the headaches. Not getting up to pee every night anymore which is awesome!
Best moment this week: technically this is from week 13 but I got to have an unexpected ultrasound at my 3month check up! Baby kept moving and we couldn't get a heartbeat long enough to measure it so my Dr did an utlrasound. My last ultrasound was at 8weeks 6days so it was amazing to see how big the baby has gotten. Also there was a lot more movement! My doctor called it my little jumping bean because the back kept arching which would throw baby into the air like he was jumping. So for now we've decided to call the baby, Baby Bean :)
Are you showing yet? Defnintely getting a bigger tummy!
Miss anything? Sunny side up eggs
Movement: None yet
Food cravings: Sweets! Still eating a ton of fruit
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing really. Although I have really no desire to eat BBQ or Chinese food unless its made at home. And even then its rare
Gender prediction: I'm thinking a girl at this point, we'll see though
Labor signs: None
Symptoms: HEADACHES! I've had one every single day since week 10 and this week they've gotten way more intense. I started seeing a  chiropractor this week though and am hoping that will help. He's done wonders for my low back pain already. Also I've started getting round ligament pain, mostly in the form of sharp stabbing pains for a few seconds after I sneeze, cough, or move positions suddenly
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy!
Looking forward to: Feeling baby kick!!!!!!!!
