14 Weeks

How far along: 14 weeks 0 days

Baby's size: Nectarine, almost three 1/2 inches long weighing about 1.5 oz.
Baby's Development: The babies can now squint, frown, grimace, pee and suck their thumb. (we have proof of that one on ultrasound)  Kidneys are producing urine, which is now being released into the amniotic fluid.  Babies can grasp things too.  Babies are developing that fine hair on their bodies, even on their head.  The liver and spleen should be functioning this week.

Weight gain: 12lbs

Maternity clothes: Yes, all maternity now. I need to find a Derby outfit now, at least there were some cute options at motherhood maternity.

Stretch marks: Nope

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding ring on or off: On 

Sleep: I find myself wanting a nap around 3, so by the time I get home I am wore out.  I am trying to be selective about my activity.  I am also having issues with my sinuses and feeling like they are swollen during the night.

Symptoms: Headaches are #1 now, the dr said that was hormone related.  I have them pretty often at this point but for the most part, nothing I can't handle.  Acne is another one that just won't clear up all the way, I read that is caused by having girls?  It said their female hormones add to your own. (who knows if that is true) Other than that I have a swelling belly along with other parts of my body.

Food cravings: Nothing overwhelming really.  Maybe McDonald cheeseburgers which I have been known to get for snack in the afternoon. 

Food aversions: This could be anything depending on the day.  I still have lots of things that just don't sound good and other food that is just disappointing.  I would still say water is one of those but I keep drinking it...  I will be so excited to drink any liquid that I want.

What I miss: Still drinks, not even just alcohol drinks but regular everyday drinks.  I used to enjoy getting a big tea from McAllister's but they don't have decaf so that is out.  

Movement: Just the little fluttering/flipping feelings.  Sometimes they are pretty strong but it is always fast and I wait for another one which doesn't come.

Mood:  Fine I guess.  I have a lot going on with Derby, Seminar and baby stuff so I am trying to take it one task at a time.  So if you happen to ask me about something and I seem short or confused well, that is why. 
Best moment this week: Kyle is getting more and more into this baby thing.  He is getting excited and starting to plan which I find so sweet.  He has been so kind and patient with me and gone out of his way to make sure I have whatever it is my heart desires. It just warms my heart.
A second moment was hearing that my dear "niece" Madison has made a decision to join the Air Force Reserves and they will pay for her nursing degree.  On top of that, she is bringing home all A's and B's.  I am so proud of her!

Looking forward to: Probably Easter, it is a time to spend with family and lots of good food which is awesome for me! :)
