How Far Along? 14
Weeks
Total Weight Gain:
Have You Started to
Show? Yes! My little bump was especially prominent in my tight fitting
maternity dress at our Christmas party! I’ll leave this category here until a
strange notices my little bump. In my mind it’s always official then.
Symptoms: This
week I’ve felt pretty good, just tired. I do get little twinges in my lower
abdomen if I move certain ways. I think my body it just gearing up to
accommodate my new babe.
Movement? None
yet. I almost thought I felt a little flutter but I haven’t felt anything since
so I think it was just wishful thinking.
Sleep? I fall
asleep as soon as Cash is done nursing and I can pop him off my boob and sleep
until 1 AM sometimes 3 AM when I have to get up to pee. We had a few rough
nights with Cash waking at midnight one night and 4 AM another night, but Nick
took him in the kitchen for some food and let me sleep thankfully. I so
appreciate having a wonderful husband who is so involved in his son’s life.
Exercise? None
this week. I’m trying to get back to prenatal yoga but it’s at a really odd
time, 5:30 right in the middle of dinnertime so it hasn’t been easy.
Food Cravings: I
haven’t had any crazy cravings yet, but I am still enjoying cucumbers and
tomatoes with Bragg’s ACV dressing. I also pickup up some 100% grass fed yogurt
this week and have been eating that with Paleo nut and seed butter, blueberries
and oranges.
Food Aversions:
None, thankfully! I just can’t stand the smell of fast food or anything fried.
Happy or Moody?
Happy. We’ve had Christmas music playing almost non-stop since the day after
Thanksgiving so it’s hard not to be in a great mood.
Miss Anything?
Coffee. I really want a pumpkin spice latté, but no coffee (decaf or otherwise)
goes into this body while I’m pregnant.
Best Moment This
Week: We ordered some Sloomb XS OBF diapers for the baby and they arrived
this week. Those tiny diapers are adorable! I ordered some other things for the
baby and am anxiously awaiting their arrival!
Looking Forward to:
Cash’s 2nd birthday party next Saturday. I can’t believe my CashMan
is going to me T-W-O!
Cash’s Contemplations:
We talk about the baby frequently with Cash and he is already so sweet about
the baby. He loves to crawl onto my lap, lift my shirt and pat my belly and
kiss the baby. He also rests his head on my belly and repeats “baby, baby”.
When the diapers came this week he wanted to try them on (“on, on, try, try”),
but I told him they were too small and that they were for the new baby. I then
asked him if he would help me change his brother or sister’s diaper net summer
and he thought that was super funny. This prompted a conversation about the
baby. I told him that the baby would cry sometimes because she (wishful thinking)
needs milk or needs her diaper changes. I also told him that babies just cry
sometimes. He looked at me with the sweetest face and I asked him what he would
do for the baby when she was crying…to this he responded “meat, meatball!” I
laughed so hard and said, “you’re going to give the baby a meatball?” He said “yes”
and laughed. Cash loves meat so I think it’s so sweet that he would associate
something he loves with helping the baby already. I think he is going to be the
best big brother.
