14 weeks

7. jan

BABY'S SIZE     a lemon!  (about 3.5 inches and 1.5 ounces)

WEIGHT GAIN     still hard to tell.  the scale is different every time i try.

HOW I'M FEELING     i think the nausea is mostly gone.  as long as i don't have an empty stomach.  the other morning at work, i think i went too long without any snacks.  when i got to the break room to grab my stuff to go home, i started heaving and heaving.  no throwing up (still!), just the real hard heaves.  gross.  as soon as i got some juice i was fine.  so i filled up on water and pretty much just chugged the whole way home.
the hormones are hitting hard this week.  everything is SO happy or SO angry or SO sad.  it's making me crazy.  i can just imagine how everyone around me feels.

WHAT I'M EATING     still loving cereal.  but eating mostly everything else too.  steak still doesn't sound good to me.

HOW I'M CHANGING     there is a definite pooch.  i feel like i'm going to barf every time i bend down to tie my shoes.
i have had a couple weird dizzies.  once when i bent down to pet eda, i got really dizzy and stumbled when i stood up.  the other one was similar.  bent down for something and felt super dizzy when i stood up... i will ask the doctor about this!

MOVEMENT     i read that moms who have already had babies can sometimes feel movement around week 14.  i was told that since the placenta is attached near the front, it will probably be a bit longer than average before i can feel any movement.

SLEEP     i can still sleep a LOT if i want to (which is yes).  but i am functional with the regular amount these days.

FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK     (i'm starting to think i should have labeled this one just "things this week")
arley is starting to catch on to this crying thing, i think.  whenever something happens on tv or real life or in a song, etc, arley sneakily (so he thinks) side eyes me and waits for it.
all this nursery cleaning (still no nursery in sight) has me all excited to actually turn it into a nursery.  i am currently drawing out to scale plans so i can see how all the things i think i want in there will fit. not overboard at all...
i had my birthday on sunday.  i got some fancy packages from my favorite family (you know, my family), and was so excited to see my lost christmas stocking that, yes, i started crying yet again.

LOOKING FORWARD TO     another appointment on thursday (week 15).  i think no ultrasound this time.  maybe just the doppler to listen to the heart rate (they couldn't find it for more than a second for the last appointment).  so fingers crossed for better luck this time!
nurseries!  they're all i think about.  all i dream about.  all i want to talk about.  i'm sure everyone just LOVES it.

FUN FACT     kidneys are making urine, and liver and spleen are doing their jobs too.  baby is probably sucking its thumb and wiggling its toes.

eda is getting pretty serious about this all.  and i'm 90% sure she has no idea what she's so serious about.
