14 Weeks

Hello :) This post is slightly late, sorry, but it's because I have been sick again! boo. I thought I was in the clear but nope...definitely not. I think this time though, it wasn't as much a 'morning sickness' thing and it was more of a getting too hungry thing. My appetite is a big fat ZERO these days so it's been so hard to keep my stomach full. I think a lot of it is not eating enough/eating too early for dinner so that come morning time I am so hungry that it makes me sick...which, in turn, does not make me want to eat. Not a good cycle! So I think I have a better handle on it now and hopefully it will continue getting better...this is the second trimester after all...it's supposed to be the best I will feel during this whole journey...let's hope it gets better! 

How Far Along:   14 weeks 2 days
Baby is the size of: a lemon
Symptoms: More nausea this week, but no headaches! Give and take right? ;) Also, I can only eat very small amounts at a time right now before I feel suuuper full. So it's pretty much grazing all day if I can. Lots of weird feelings in my belly...sometimes I think I can feel the baby move a little...almost like popcorn popping in my stomach, but I'm never sure. Also, a new one: for the past week or so, I've noticed that whenever I sleep on my back, my right hand goes completely numb and it wakes me up. Very weird. I've also been having a lot of soreness/pain in that wrist as well. So I looked into it and it looks like I am developing pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel. Greeaaaat. Apparently it's pretty common especially for people who work on computers all day. There is so much extra fluid in a pregnant woman's body, that sometimes that area in your wrist will swell and push on the nerve there. It should go away completely after pregnancy, but in the meantime is just pretty annoying/painful. I am going to definitely ask my doctor about it at my next appointment.
Have you told anyone? Everyone knows now!
Miss Anything? I realized this week that I can't even have sushi after the baby comes if I'm breastfeeding too. That made me very sad :/
Food Cravings: Nothing too much - I have been devouring Fruit by the Foot's lately. And lots of milk and vanilla yogurt.
Anything making you sick/queasy?  Lots of things...but it changes daily.
Have you started to show yet? Yep! I officially refuse to button my pants anymore. It is getting quite uncomfortable. However, I bought a Belly Band and those things are a.maz.ing. LOVE it!
Gender prediction: I think it's a girl. Kevin wants thinks a boy.
Mood: I was pretty down earlier this week about getting sick again...I had been really excited at the thought that I was past all that. But, you just never know. I am doing much better now. I have definitely been able to tell that I've been getting hormone swings lately though! I have to try really hard to be nice to people sometimes haha
Best Moment this week: I have begun to slowly start a baby registry - mostly just for my sanity and being able to remember all the things that I am going to need at this point. But it has been a lot of fun to start looking/shopping for baby things! I really feel more pregnant every day and it is getting me so excited for the future! :)
Looking forward to: finding out the sex of the baby! We have another Dr appt on January 31 and I will be 17 weeks at that point and we shoulddd be able to tell by then. I really hope so! I can't wait to go crazy with all the shopping :)
