14 Weeks - Hello Second Trimester!

Sorry for the bathroom photo again.

Baby Size: 
Lemon, 3.4" long! 1.5 oz

Knickname: 
Jumping bean

Baby Changes: 

• thumb sucking
• toe wiggling
• making urine
• breathing amniotic fluid
• Lanugo, growing all over baby to keep them warm

Weight Gain: 
still haven't purchased a scale, and honestly, I don't plan to.

Cravings: 
Chips and dip. Attempting to balance it out though with lots of healthy eating the rest of the day.

Aversions: 
None this week. Having a hard time downing lettuce or salad though.

Showing:  
Yup, definitely. I had one stranger look at me then my belly, when ringing up our order this weekend. Apparently it's beginning to become noticeable to strangers.

Body Changes: 
Energy is seriously coming back. I've been able to stay awake later, and not drag through each day. Sleep has become more soundly and have had 3 nights of no waking up randomly! Yay!

Worst Moment this Week: 
Finding out my company's STD coverage has a 15 day elimination period, meaning instead of getting paid for 30 days of leave, I'm only getting paid for 15, or 3 weeks. Not happy.

Best Moment this Week: 
Realizing we're 1/3 of the way through this pregnancy. I never thought I'd get here, and am truly elated that we've made it this far. (Chance of miscarriage has dropped to 1%.)

Looking Forward To: 
Our next appointment on the 31st. 16 week check in, no ultrasound, but happy to see another doctor in the practice. (There's 4 total. We've met Dr. Hale, but haven't seen him in 2 years, so it will be nice to chat with him again.)
