Rainbow Baby | Week 14

H E L L O  2 n d  T R I M E S T E R!!!

1. Number of weeks: 14 weeks

2. Due Date: April 1, 2016 

3. Gender: Not finding out this time

4. Baby size:  roughly the size of a banana

5. Weight gain/loss: d o w n 22 lbs still. Baby is growing though- I had to maternity clothes shop on Monday because I couldn't zip my regular jeans lol. I stupidly gave away all my maternity clothes except for one shirt and one pair of pants last year after miscarrying the twins. It's fun to have new stuff, but I wish I would've hung on to more of my clothes. 

6. Maternity Clothes?: yep. Time to be comfortable :) 

7. Stretch marks?: No 

8. How's the sleep?:  I sleep good in 2-3 hour increments. 

9. Best moment this week?:  this whole week has been pretty good actually. Minimal vomiting. John started preschool on Tuesday and absolutely loves it! Ellie loves having time with just me & I love that too. Yesterday I was able to open up the fridge without puking (it's been months since I've been able to do that), and I ate two caramel apples & kept them down. And I don't even feel bad about eating two of them lol.

^ Ellie and at the Infusion Center yesterday 

10. Missing anything?:  Clear skin & energy. My skin is awful this time around; I even have acne on my chest! I also have PUPPS again which itches/burns & is an ugly deep red/purple color on my abdomen and legs. 

11. Baby Movements?:  Yes! I've been feeling little flutters when I'm sitting or laying still. 

12. Cravings:  SOUP! Bring on all the awesome fall foods :)  

13. What makes you sick or queasy?

Anything lol I almost had to pull over and puke this morning on the way to my parents because of a HuHot advertisement on the radio. For real. Sounds really get to me this pregnancy for whatever reason. 

14. Any pregnancy symptoms?: 

+ fatigue
+ crying/mood swings
+ acne
+ nausea/vomiting
+ some round ligament pains

+ baby flutters :) 

+ frequent bathroom trips

+ headaches

15. Labor signs?:  nope

16. Your mood is...?:  happy. I really needed a good week & finally got one. The first trimester was HARD. Emotionally & physically. I'm trying to breathe easier now. While I'm very aware that losses happen during all 3 trimesters, I'm finally feeling more confident in myself to be able to carry this baby. 

17. Looking forward to?:  This weekend. Tomorrow we're taking the kids to the Auburn Fair Parade (hello marching band nostalgia!) & it's conference weekend, which is always uplifting.
