How far along: 14 Weeks.
Baby size: 3.4 in & 1.5 oz. The size of a large lemon.
Maternity clothes: Not yet, but I have used the hair elastic trick for one pair of jeans I have.
Stretch marks: No. Can I hope I won't get them since I didn't get them with Kennedy? Crossing my fingers.
Sleep: I have been getting up in the middle of the night a lot to go to the bathroom. That has been pretty disruptive to my sleep. For a while there I was getting tons of sleep at night and taking multiple naps during the day. This pregnancy has sure left me feeling exhausted.
Gender: We don't know yet, but so far this pregnancy has been quite a bit different than my first one. Does that mean it's a boy? Or is it just the fact that I am 5 years older and my life and body are pretty different these days. Or maybe it is the fact that I have a four year old that keeps me on my toes and I can't just take a nap at will.
Best moment this week: This whole pregnancy has been so fun to have Kennedy give my belly kisses all the time. It has been so sweet.
Looking forward to: I am really anticipating knowing the gender. For a while we thought we would wait to find out, but then we waited for nearly 3 years to get pregnant and I just don't want to wait anymore. Super excited to find out if we will have a boy or a girl.
What I miss: I miss not feeling nauseous and having energy. I feel so nauseous at night, pretty much every night and it has just been yucky. Also I feel so low energy, wishing I had some of Kennedy's.
Movement: I don't feel any movement, but in the morning when I am laying down and my bladder is full I can feel my little bump popping out. It is one of my favorite things. Good morning baby.
Food cravings: I wouldn't say I have any food cravings, but two things that have been consistently good are green apples with lemon juice on them and grapefruit. They never fail.
Aversions: Ugh all the things. But lets not talk about the coconut ramen curry I had early on in my pregnancy, I literally can't even think about it.
Nursery: Well seeing as how we live in a two bedroom apartment where one bedroom is a office/ bedroom and the other bedroom belongs to our four year old... I don't think this little one will come home to a nursery in the same way that Kennedy did.
Overall: Overall this pregnancy has been pretty hard. I don't feel great, I'm so tired, I've been kind of grouchy. For a while there Daniel was making all the meals and watching Kennedy whenever he could so I could nap. It was really rough. I am starting to see the light, but I wish I could just get back to feeling more normal. Oh well, I'm thrilled to be pregnant and to have another go at bringing another baby into our home.
Miscellaneous: I don't really know. It feels like a long time since we found out I am pregnant, but I also can't believe I am 14 weeks. Time is just crazy.
