Week 14

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!



Your Baby: Week 14

Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth
