14 Weeks- Hello 2nd trimester!

HOW FAR ALONG?:  14-ish weeks. I GLADLY welcome the second trimester!

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN?: +2 lbs. Seems like way more to me!!!

STRETCH MARKS?: NOPE. Only got a few tiny ones with Harley, however I have a feeling I wont be as lucky this time around :(

SLEEP?: Ha! Between my constant having to pee, and the fact that I cannot get comfortable to save my life, sleep is a luxury around here these days.

MATERNITY CLOTHES?: I recently discovered the beauty of the Bella band, so my pre-preggo jeans are finally being used again, yay!

BEST MOMENT THIS WEEK?: Finding out the sex of the baby!!!!! Unfortunately, both sets of parents live far away, so they were told by phone, but we had Ronys siblings over to watch the ultrasound DVD and i made special gender reveal cupcakes for them!! We are keeping a secret to everyone else for now, but we are both very excited, especially me, cuz now I can finally start shopping!

WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK?: I had to go see the dr (again, geeeeez!) because I was having really bad cramping, and the nurse said I needed to be seen right away. I texted Rony on the way there to let him know, and prayed that everything was ok. I went in, and the first thing they did was check for the heartbeat. It was 163- perfect!! After that, I didnt really care what the dr said. She did however, say that I overworked my body, and that I NEEDED to stick to my bedrest. Yea yea I got the message loud and clear this time!    

MISS ANYTHING?: Sleeping. Coke. Coffee. Starbucks in general.

MOVEMENT?: I already feel the flutters from time to time, which the dr said was normal since this is my second pregnancy,  But I cannot wait till Rony and Harley can feel the baby move too!

FOOD CRAVINGS?: Not really. There are times when certain things sound better than others, but generally food is just all around gross right now.

ANYTHING MAKING ME QUEASY / SICK?: Ha, everything?! Mainly the smell of meat being cooked (Umm Hello Kobe's, can you please quit making me queezy everytime I drive by your restaurant?!) and long car rides are NO FUN!

SHOWING YET?: Yup. Far more than I thought Id be this early, but again, the dr said it was normal for a second pregnancy. I still sometimes wonder if people can tell im pregnant, or just have a beer belly, lol.

LABOR SIGNS?: Negative!

MOOD?: Ehh, I have my "down days" which ive mainly attributed to the fact that I went from working full time, and going to school full time, to being home alone most of the day. I have said it several times, I was not biologically programmed to be a stay at home mom/wife. However, im getting more used to it now, and learned that as long as I keep busy (trick is keeping busy, while on bedrest, WHAT?!) im ok. But generally im happy as could be!

COMPLAINTS?: Seriously, whoever said this whole pregnancy thing was easy (Ok, i may have said it the first time around, but I TAKE IT BACK!) was insane. Ive had so many issues, I just dont seem to see the blessed light at the end of the tunnel. And to think, I still have 26 weeks to go, oh my! But thats not really a complaint, as long as little one is healthy and safe in there, Ill take the sleepless nights and the constant visits to the dr anyday! :)    

BELLY BUTTON IN or OUT?: For now, it's in.

WEDDING RINGS OFF or ON?: ON! Seriously, they will have to cut my finger off before I stop wearing my precious ring!

LOOKING FORWARD TO...?: Feeling somewhat normal again. Soon, I hope!
