Week 14

December 23-29, 2013

How far along: 14 weeks

Total weight gain: Unknown.

Maternity clothes: No, but the only thing I want to wear is my leggings (I have been wearing them every day so far during our vacation).  I have been wearing regular shirts and dresses (they are longer than my regular shirts).

Stretch marks: No

Sleep: My sleep has been amazing! We are staying in a bed that feels like clouds.  My hips don’t hurt, but still using a small head pillow between my knees.

Best moments this week: Telling our families and friends we are pregnant and seeing their happy excited faces.

Miss anything: I am being able to have a cold beer, especially since it has been in the 80’s in Orange County.

Food cravings: I have been loving carrots, celery, and salad.  The crunch of the carrots and celery is so satisfying.  I have been having a sweet tooth, if there is non chocolate candy around I am more likely to have a piece or two (licorice, donut, sour candies, and candy canes).

Anything making you queasy: As usual making sure I snack throughout the day and drink plenty of water.

Gender: Unknown.

Labor signs: No.

Belly button in or out: I noticed on Christmas that my belly button is starting to stick out.  Only Will and I can notice the difference, but everyone we show is excited for us.

Wedding rings on or off: On.

Happy or moody: Very happy!  Except when I started crying when I couldn’t find a parking spot at my friend’s house.  I was so emotional I ended up going back to Will’s grandma’s house where Will offered me a cocktail to make me feel better, which of course made more tears and laughing.  Coco (Will’s grandma) was kind enough to make me a pregnant cocktail- flavor bubble water.

Looking forward to: New Year’s Eve and celebrating the New Year, the year of our baby.
