I posted this quote earlier this week and it could not be more true, it seems like forever ago Kyle and I were praying to have a family of our own and now we are finally getting our prayers answered. We are ready to be the best parents we possibly can and we feel so lucky to have such great role models already! I have seen the way my cousins have raised their families and I love it, I can't wait to have a baby that can run and play with all of them like I once did when I was younger. My friends have all done a great job at raising their babies already, and it will feel so special to be part of the journey they have already started.
This week was hard, the first half I was battling a viral infection so I really focused on resting and making sure I didn't get a fever. Finally Thursday was the first day I didn't feel like dying and actually had energy, and I think it is getting better now. I feel weird posting bump photos right now just because I honestly don't think I am showing, so for now it will just be photos of life in general.
How far along? 14 weeks
Total weight gain? still nothing in that department, all together since finding out in January I lost 13lbs.
Maternity clothes? Nope
Stretch marks? I have a few, some on my boobs and a few small ones on my stomach.
Sleep? I have actually been able to stay awake a little later! Buuuuut then Kyle mentioned it is probably because of the time change ha. But I do feel a bit more energized at night so I'm hoping that's a sign now that we are in the second trimester.
Best moment this week? Hearing the heartbeat for sure, and getting better finally.
Miss anything? My appetite still - i just want FOOD! But nothing sounds good ever.
Movement? Nope, my nurse practitioner asked if I have started to feel flutters but I said no, I think it's still far too early for that?
Food cravings? Nothing that has stood out this week.
Anything making you feel sick or queasy? Food in general, and I know being sick has not helped
Showing? Not that I can notice
Gender? Not sure! Close friends and family say girl but we will see!
Labor signs? None.
Symptoms? Still the same old same: nauseas, no appetite
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding ring on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time? It has been a very emotional week, I cried a LOT.
Looking forward to: April 9 when we find out the gender!
I found a photo on my phone and thought I'd share, it is so crazy because on one hand it feels like I have been pregnant forever, but in the other it feels like it has been so fast! I was so nervous (still am at times) when I first found out because of the history and what I have gone through. If you are wondering what a girl with a hormone imbalance and history of loss looks like in a photo, it is probably this (and these are just the tests I kept):
According to my app, baby...
- is the size of a matchbox car
- weighs about .81 oz
- is producing white blood cells
- now has fingerprints
