This has been one of my roughest pregnancy weeks so far. Morning (all day) sickness is definitely back with a vengeance, my husband wasn't here to help out, I've had some anxiety issues regarding these babies. I want to touch for just a minute on the anxiety part. The other night when Jay came home from being out of town for what seemed like a month, we just cuddled on the couch with the pups and I got sad for a minute thinking that our days as a family of "4" are numbered. Admittedly, I am super emotional right now with all of my crazy hormones but I don't want to feel sad about having a baby. I want to be excited! Hopefully mourning the loss of our family as a couple will be something I only think about now and will be replaced by the happiness my two bundles of joy will bring into our lives :)
Pregnancy Highlights:
Today's Date: Wednesday, January 18th, 2012
How Far Along: 14 weeks
Size of babies: Babies are the size of lemons.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Down 4 pounds from pre-pregnancy weight. I'm trying not to stress out about this but holy cow, I try all my life to lose weight and now when I'm trying to gain it is not happening!
Maternity Clothes: Definitely the pants. I got a few new tops and they're working pretty well. I swear my bump is shrinking though! One of the sweaters I got fit great the first time I wore it and looks like a big baggy mess now!
Gender: My guess is boy/girl this week.
Movement: Still can't feel the babies move. Hopefully in the next month or so!
Sleep: I can fall asleep easily in the beginning but staying/falling back asleep is hard! I can't tell you the amount of solitaire I've played on my phone trying to go back to sleep.
What I miss: My appetite.
Cravings: Pasta!
Symptoms: Morning sickness is back along with major headaches, some lower back pain, and lovely round ligament pain.
Best Moment this week: Jay coming back in town!
