How far along: 14 Weeks!
Baby size: 3 inches long, 1.5 oz (about the size of a lemon)
Maternity clothes: Nope
Sleep: Sleep is so so important. I will never take it for granted again! I have been sleeping a lot better, although I wake up in the night and need to switch sides more often than I ever remember doing pre-pregnacy.
Gender: I would say 60% of the time I lean towards thinking it is a boy and 30% of the time girl and the other 10% I just have no idea.
Best moment this week: Finally letting the news spill to the rest of the family (mostly). It is just nice for people to know that way no one feels bad that they didn't find out if anyone spills the beans. I also really love feeling my tiny baby bump. Sometimes it protrudes more, like early in the morning when I wake up. It is a crazy feeling but I love it and hope someday it will stick around :)
Looking forward to: I am really looking forward to finding out the gender of our sweet thing. It still won't be for a month (or longer) but I am getting a little anxious. I feel like I am kind of at a planning standstill since we don't know the gender. I guess I will be looking forward to this for a while still.
What I miss: Feeling good overall. I feel like there is always a little something happening in my body that is pregnancy related. Whether it is feeling just tired, or weak, or just some small annoyance, I am kind of missing the overall feeling of wholeness.
Movement: No but my little baby belly bump (whatever it is) comes and goes. It especially comes around when I am laying down or on my side. I love it.
Food cravings: Peanut Butter Banana Smoothies I have had one for breakfast for the past couple of days and they are oh so good.
Aversions: My aversions are not so strong. I still don't really have any desire for fresh veggies, sweet potatoes, or fish. Overall food is sounding better these days and I am eating more HOORAY!
Nursery: No idea. Let's see if we can even find a two bedroom apartment or house that is relatively cheap and in a safe place and perfect for our needs. Then we will look into a nursery.
Miscellaneous: It is hard to believe we are out of the first trimester! I felt like this day would never never come. I am so thankful for time just moving along. Sometimes I feel like it is going to be FOREVER before we meet this little one but sometimes it is hard to believe we have known for over two months now about its arrival. 26 weeks still kind of seems like forever but it doesn't seem like that long ago that we still had 36 weeks. Hopefully life will continue to keep us busy up until the arrival of our bundle of joy.
