Update and Other Stuff

How far along? 14 weeks + 3 day


How big is baby? According to TheBump.com the Fetus is about 3" (that seems so small but still so big)


Weight gain? - 1 pound. Which unfortunately means 8pds in total. (Yikes for this early on). I'm trying to focus more on what I eat and get back into exercising so I can hopefully keep control on it from this point on. I really don't want to gain more then the 30 pds alloted for pregnancy.


Maternity clothes? Still none, other then all the baby doll shirts that I already owned, but I'm going to start looking online this week. I was told by a friend of mine to look at Target.com and Oldnavy.com so I'll give both of those a try. I NEED to find a black skirt very shortly. 

Symptoms? Well I'm happy to say the morning sickness for the most part has left. Yay! I find I only really get sick now if I wear myself out or get to tired or if I get too hot. Then it's really bad so I try to stick to my naps and if that's not possible then I go to bed early and stay cool as best I can. I've started getting headaches but they aren't too bad so that's a plus. Oh and the constant acne that I've had since the beginning that just won't go away. So for the most part I've been feeling GREAT! Yay!!

Sleep? It's getting better. I still wake up to pee but not till around 5am or later, but I've had a few nights with Major lower back pain (which I always had before so not really due to pregnancy) but I got a full body pillow and that seems to have helped it so I'm sleeping much better. 

Food cravings? Can't really say... nothing really sticks out. I've been really enjoying watermelon though and constantly drinking water. Other then that the appetite is pretty normal.

What I am looking forward to? The next doctors appt where I can hear the heart beat again and finding out about the sex of the baby. Oh and I can't wait to OFFICIALLY have a baby belly. Right now it looks like one, but I can assure you... it's all just bloating and my stomach that I started with.


THE OTHER STUFF

 Gifts from friends and family and a little something I picked up:




These are a little gift from my Sister-In-Laws mom. It was the first baby things I got I was soooo excited and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!


 This is a crib from the 1800's that my brother Matt picked up for me last week. It's so absolutely beautiful. My plan (cause it's so nice and I want to show it off) is to actually have it in the living room as a little cradle type bed for the baby to take naps in when we're just chillaxing on the couch. If  I were to keep it in the nursery no one would ever get to see it because it's going to stay closed to keep our cats out. 

And these are the first thing I've bought. I found them at the Rexall near our house and could NOT pass them up. They are sooo cute and soft (I want a pair for myself lol)

Enjoy your week and stay tuned for next weeks adventures!
