{hello second trimester, glad you are here}

My first baby related blog!

I know I'm horrible at keeping up with blogging, but I thought it would be fun to post weekly about my pregnancy for many reasons:
1. For myself. I haven't been great at writing anything down or taking pictures. I need to do this.
2. My Family. We are far away from each other, I thought my mom and dad would love an update {even though my mom and I talk more than once a day} something my dad can never understand. And of course for my grandma...I mean she has an iPad, which means she is very technology advanced:)

This week, no "bump" picture. I really don't have any. I'll have Dan take one this weekend, if I happen to get dressed. I got a flu shot today, so we can expect me to be moaning on the couch for the next 24 hours. :) {I know, I sound so fun to be around}

Let's get this started!

How far along are you? I'm 14 weeks and 2 days.
How am I feeling? I'm actually feeling pretty good these days. I threw up pretty much every meal for 7-8 weeks. I had 3 weeks where I don't think anything stayed in my stomach and I didn't know how much more I could take of it. It was h.o.r.r.i.b.l.e. 

Its been about 2 weeks since I've throw up! I still take Zofran everyday, but I'm trying to ween myself off of it. I'm happy to be able to eat again and I made dinner 3 nights in a row this week. Poor Dan, he had frozen meals for a long long time. He was happy to come home to a wife that wasn't napping, sick on the couch and dinner in the oven!

Total weight gain? None really. I'm now starting to gain weight, I'll keep you posted after my next doctors appointment!

How big is baby? According to my pregnancy apps, the size of a Lemon. 3.4in and 1.5oz.
Maternity Clothes? Pants, yes. I don't really have any maternity tops--I wear loose shirts and most of my shirts still fit.

Stretch Marks? Noppppeee! I use "Dream Cream" from Lush. Love it. I'm hoping that this works wonders and leaves me stretch mark free. A girl can dream, right?
Sleep? oh, its beautiful. I wake up usually once to use the bathroom, but fall right back asleep. I'm asleep by 8:30 most nights. andddd...sometimes I take naps from 5:00-6:00

Best moment of the week? We heard the heartbeat at our doctors appointment, but nothing awesome happened this week. Just a normal week!
Food cravings? Pizza
Food aversions? Chicken, yuck.
Belly button in or out? in

What I miss? Having energy to do normal things, like walk around the mall. I love shopping, but I have to mentally prepare and stop for snacks. Its not great.
What I'm looking forward to? Finding out the gender, so I can shop!
