14 Weeks

How far along:  14 weeks down, 26 weeks to go

This week baby is the size of: a lemon (I should totally have some lemonaid to celebrate)

Next appointment: October 12- it seems like ages away

Exercise: I've been trying to walk at least a couple times a week. It is so hard to do it alone though. 

Stretch marks: Nope

Swelling: just the boobs

Maternity clothes: I had previously bought a few shirts with my mom, the only one I wear is the maternity fitted tank under other non-maternity shirts. 

Belly button: It's still there.

Sleep: I have been sleeping fine. 

Food cravings/aversions: No unusual aversions. I enjoy salty food. 

Symptoms: My nipples continue to grow on a daily basis. (sorry dad and pappy and any other male relatives or friends who may be reading this). Aside from that lower back pain near my tailbone. I can't figure out if something in particular is triggering this, or if it's just pregnancy. 

Movement: Nothing yet- I've been moving a bunch of boxes, but the baby refuses to help. 

Labor signs: No, thank goodness!

What I miss: I miss having my husband at home. Oh! you mean due to the pregnancy... I miss being able to eat what other people are eating. I'm not one to usually crave hotdogs- but when you "aren't allowed" and someone is cooking one- oh boy do you want one too. I could go for a Sierra turkey sandwich from Panera when we go there too, but I resist the urge. 

What I'm loving: Pickles and ice water

What I'm looking forward to: My next doctors appointment so we can make sure everything is still going smooth and for Matt to meet Dr. H

Best moment this week: officially being in the second trimester, odds of miscarriage have dropped dramatically 

Milestones: out of the first trimester

Goals: have a healthy pregnancy
