How far along? 14 weeks
Total weight gain: 2 lbs. Maternity clothes? Just maternity leggings and tanks...then I basically wear sweaters over that!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Sleep has been good!
Best moment this week: Well, we unexpectedly got to see babe on the ultrasound. We had an appointment yesterday and after finding the heartbeat and feeling my tummy...the doctor said "you seem a little big for 14 weeks, so let's go ahead and schedule an ultrasound for tomorrow to make sure there aren't two in there".
You guys should have seen Nate's face. And mine.
To be honest, it just totally caught us off guard. We both have twins in our families, but it just wasn't expected. So we scheduled an ultrasound for as soon as possible and had one this morning.
It was a weird situation going into it. I didn't want to feel like I didn't want 2 if there were 2. Because honestly, I'll love as many babies as God gives us. But in my head I had pictured what life with a third child would be...I didn't picture a 3rd and 4th. So last night was spent just trying to picture it as a possibility.
The ultrasound went great, the tech said there is ONE baby in my tummy and said that baby is just measuring about a week ahead. No change to my due date or anything...she said that it was just a big baby right now and that was probably why the bigger tummy.
Are we disappointed or relieved? Neither. We were ready for whatever. The fact that I have a healthy growing baby inside of me is a beautiful thing and I'll never take it for granted. And goodness I'm already so excited to meet him/her!
So we have our one sweet little babe cooking away...and maybe I should lay off the Olive Garden breadsticks? :) haha.
Miss Anything? Nope ;)
Movement: Not yet...but I'm ready for it!
Food cravings: Still fried chicken salads with ranch. and Olive Garden breadsticks with alfredo sauce. No wonder it's a big baby! I do try to eat relatively healthy even though my cravings are anything but!
Anything making you queasy or sick: No thankfully!
Labor Signs: Nada
Symptoms: I'm feeling pretty much myself. I still have days of tiredness and off/on headaches, but for the most part I'm feeling great.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Oh how sweet it is to be doing this again :)
Looking forward to: Movement, finding out gender, etc etc...all the FUN things!
xox,
Naomi
