How Far Along: 14 weeks!

Size of baby: A lemon. And man, my belly is definitely growing. Feel like clothes are getting tighter and tighter. 

Sleep: Sleeping well. I have been going to be early, but then would tend to wake up around 3:30-4am and have a hard time going back to sleep, and wake up again around 8am. But the last few nights been sleeping well throughout the night. 

Total Weight Gain: Starting to gain some weight! About 4 pounds since week 12.

Symptoms: Eating more and more. Feeling more energetic and very excited to see you again at the 16 week ultra sound. I've been reading you've been growing a LOT these past few weeks.

Movement: No movement yet. But after drinking a big glass of milk yesterday, felt a "flutter"? But maybe it was just gas?

Maternity Clothes: Bought some new flowy tops from Nordstroms Rack and it really hides the belly well 

Go-to eats:  Trying to eat more vegetables, but still craving those sweets, carbs and loving fruit. 

Best moment of the week: Exciting couple of weeks. Found out I got a new job at Apple and we got our house! Very good news all around.  

Gender: Still no clue! But the way my belly has been growing (it's been growing more wide then out) I am thinking it a girl!

Workout: Been walking a few days this week and go to the gym sporadically. 

What I’m looking forward to: Starting my new job on April 7th and seeing you again on March 31st. We will hopefully find out what you are. Boy or Girl!

Milestones and stressors: With the new job, feeling stressed to be learning a new role, but very excited for this opportunity and the way my new boss handled the news of you, I know everything will be just fine.

How Far Along: 12 weeks!

Size of baby: A plum. Crazy getting big fast. Can't believe the next ultra sound won't be until 16 weeks. Can't wait to you again. 

Sleep: Feeling like I have more energy. Busy week this week with work, so if I push through that after slump I can go until about 10:30pm now. Woo hoo. Drank a little tiny bit of caffeine this week too 1/2 cup of coffee about twice this week, I know that's a no-no but with the week I had I need a little boost to get me through.

Total Weight Gain: Eh depends on what time I weigh myself, but really haven't seen any weight gain. Which is good, wasn't the thinnest when I started.

Symptoms: More hungry, but also more energy

Movement: No movement yet. But so excited for this day to come!

Maternity Clothes: Went into the office every day this week and wore dresses that really hid my growing bump well. Just wore clothes I've always had, so not into the maternity clothes yet, unless it's jeans. Definitely can't wear those skinny jeans anymore. 

Go-to eats:  Not craving meat at all. Need to find another way to get protein into me. Love yogurt, and still have that darn sweet tooth. Need to work on this. 

Best moment of the week: Starting to tell more people. Some more people from work and some more friends. But also anxiously waiting to hear back about a possible new job opportunity. Seems like crazy timing, but this job seems too good to pass up. 

Gender: Still no clue! Can't wait to find out at 16 weeks on the March 31st appt. Booked a hotel for my bday weekend in Half Moon Bay, overlooking the ocean. Can't wait to open up that envelope with Brian on our balcony. It will be the best bday surprise ever!

Workout: Went to the gym only once this week. I should try and go today too.. 

What I’m looking forward to: Seeing my girls next week in SD and showing you off to them for the first time. And getting to really see you at the 16 week ultra sound.

Milestones and stressors: Lots going on, possible new job, possible house purchase. All excited things, but also big stressors.
