How far along? 14 weeks. Baby is the size of a lemon! Which reminds me I recently learned my beloved Chick Fil A diet lemonade is unpasteurized. I mourned appropriately. Who even knew juice could be unpasteurized?
Total weight gain: My scale has me holding at about the same weight. Either it's broken or it's THE BEST SCALE EVER.
Maternity Clothes: I've been loving the maternity pants and shorts. I don't need them yet, but they are so comfortable, and less muss and fuss for the 92 bathroom breaks of the day. Otherwise, my normal clothes still fit, which is odd, because there is a definite expansion of my waistline.
Stretch Marks: Nope.
Sleep:Breaking news: I have weened myself off the Benadryl. Mostly out of laziness since we ran out. I think the progesterone was having an opposite effect on me and giving me a bit of insomnia. Now that I'm not taking it, I haven't had near the trouble falling or staying asleep.
Best Moment this Week:Moving into the second trimester. But I'm still waiting for that 'switch to flip' as everyone tells me, and start feeling good all day.
Miss anything? Weddings without wine just aren't quite as fun. I stuffed my feelings with two pieces of cake.
Movement: A lot of people have told me they felt around 15-16 weeks, so not far from now, but I'm expecting to be more in the 18-22 week camp. Speaking of camp, I could eat some smores.
Food Cravings: Still loving the salty and savory foods. MS made me an egg sandwich last night and it was divine.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Eating. Hunger. It's a fun little hamster wheel I'm running on.
Exercise: I think I ran 3 times last week and did some weight exercises once. I have high hopes for when it cools off, which in Alabama, is still several months away.
Gender: I still think boy. I will be genuinely shocked if we are having a girl.
Labor signs:Nada.
Symptoms:Whew. The sciatic pain. I'm hoping this doesn't last until February.
Most looking forward to:Vacation next week! Having no place to be and no reason to get dressed up. And lots and lots of food. Mocktail recipes welcome in the comment section.
