Week 14

14 weeks - I am cheating a little - I took this pic on day 1 of week 15... I forgot to do it earlier! :-) The bump is starting to be more noticeable! 

Baby is the size of a lemon!

How Far Along?  14 weeks - this went for more than a week since the midwives pushed my due date back. So I had to add an extra 4 days to my 14th week! 

Maternity Clothes? Not yet, although I'm wearing bigger pants, and unpacked all of my maternity clothes - they are ready!

Sleep? Still good, but Sammy has been waking up once a night most nights this week, and then getting up at 6:30. I've woken up a couple of nights with extreme thirst so I have to get up to get a drink of water. Plus getting up to pee = a lot of waking up/getting up for me! 

Best Moment of the Week? Telling more people about our pregnancy! Now that we're in the 2nd trimester, we have been telling friends when we see them. It's fun to share our news!

Movement? Lots of little rolls. I love it! 

What I miss? Nothing. ;-)

Symptoms: Same as before, although at the end of the week I started to feel more energetic, which makes me feel like a better mom! I have more patience and energy with Sammy, which I am so happy about.

What I’m looking forward to? More movement, and scheduling the ultrasound.

Milestones: Baby is stretching out, and growing!

Emotions: Very happy, enthusiastic. Excited to get to 16 weeks to schedule my root canal/whatever I need to fix my tooth so I will stop worrying about it (although I try not to worry and just trust God - it's been a constant struggle to stop worrying!).

Week 13

13 weeks - can you see the little belly?

Hearing Baby's heartbeat! 

Baby is the size of a shrimp, or a pea pod!

How Far Along?  13 weeks!

Maternity Clothes? Nope! Still fitting into normal pants

Sleep? Pretty good!

Best Moment of the Week? Hearing Baby's heartbeat on the last day of this week!

Movement? Yes - I began to feel little rolls this week! One morning Sammy kissed my belly and Baby rolled. He LOVED that and has told so many people!

What I miss? Nothing

Symptoms: Still feeling tired, and really thirsty. Nursing has become uncomfortable too, so we have new "rules" to follow to make it better.

What I’m looking forward to? Belly getting bigger and feeling more movement!

Milestones: Baby has fingerprints! :-)

Emotions: Content.

Week 12

Uh-oh! No, bump picture this week! I forgot to take them while we were traveling...

Baby is the size of a lime! 

How Far Along?  12 weeks!

Maternity Clothes? Nope, still in my regular jeans, although they aren't my "skinny" jeans.

Sleep? Pretty good! Sammy has been sleeping through the night, so I've just been getting up once to pee.

Best Moment of the Week? Talking to Sammy about the baby. Sammy likes to poke the baby to make the baby say "oy!" and he likes to say hello to the baby, too. Last night I told Sammy his belly was big (from eating a LOT!) and he said there was a baby in there. The baby is small now, but when it gets big he will push it out! hehe

Movement? Nope, but sometimes I feel a kind of ball in my belly - probably my uterus growing.

What I miss? Can't think of anything!

Symptoms: Over Christmas my stomach was very upset. Other than that, just feeling tired.

What I’m looking forward to? Our next midwife appointment!

Milestones: Baby is a lime! He/she is starting to pee this week, and is moving a lot. He/she is even sucking, and opening/closing his/her fists!

Emotions: Happy, but a little worried about my tooth. I had to get a filling replaced, but it still hurts. I am trying to wait until 14 weeks to go to the doctor. I'm not sure if I will need a root canal or if he missed part of the cavity. But either way I will need more Novocain which makes me worried for the baby. But I am trying to let it go and not worry, and just trust that God will protect our little one!
