Baby!

I'm really bad at updating the blog, but since Baby S is already on his/her way, I've decided to get back on the blog horse with a (hopefully) weekly baby blog! Ethan took his first picture of me at 14 weeks, and we are officially on bump watch! I think I've got a little bump going, but most people say that there's nothing there yet.

Anyway, none of my old pants fit and my whole wardrobe consists of stretchy waisted items, so I'd like to have something to show for it.


We are all super excited about the baby and we can't wait to find out the gender. Even Abbey is excited!

I have to be honest, pregnancy is a b*tch! The first trimester really sucked. I was both nauseas and exhausted all day long. It's like having the flu for 6 weeks straight. I'd like to say you get used to it, but you really don't. Luckily, Ethan has been a total champ and is a superstar around the house. He has been doing most of the cooking and cleaning, and I am so glad that I can count on him to take care of me and the baby that I'm growing!

Now at 14 weeks, I'm finally starting to feel better. Some days it's still bad, but most days seem OK. The best part so far has been announcing the news to all our friends and family. Especially the grandparents who can't wait to meet Baby S!

How far along? 14 weeks 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: +2 pounds as of last check-in. I'm not weighing myself weekly, only at midwife appointments.
Maternity clothes? Yup! I have three pairs of jeans, one pair of cords, and a bunch of tanks/t-shirts
Sleep: Same as usual, but I take 1 Unisom a night to keep me asleep and help with the m/s
Best moment this week: Not being sick every day!
Movement: The baby is moving, but I can't feel it.
Food cravings: Not really. Finally getting my appetite back
Gender: We won't know until our 20 week U/S, then we'll tell everyone!
Labor signs: nope, way too early for that!
Belly Button in or out? Still an innie!
What I miss: Enjoying a variety of food
What I am looking forward to: feeling the baby move!
Milestones: Finishing the first trimester!
This Week: Baby is the size of a Lemon! Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.
