Week 14 Bumpdate

 

  How far along: 14 weeks!
Baby Size: The baby is a size of a lemon (3.4 inches long).
Weight gain: Up another 2 pounds after too many amazing meals in the mountains, coming in at 114. But the doctor told me they have me down for a higher starting weight than I initially thought, so I am already confused about my weight gain.
Maternity clothes: For work I've been able to pull of the bella band for most of my outifts. But I am definitely in maternity jeans full time on the weekends! I am obsessed. It's like wearing pajamas all the time!
  Stretch marks: Not yet. Using my creams every night!
Sleep: Sleep has gotten much better this week. Thankfully I've been able to fall back asleep during the middle of the night when I get up to tinkle.
Best moment this week: Spending the long weekend with my boys in the mountains. We had such a fun and relaxing time celebrating two years of marriage!
Looking forward to: Our Christmas card photoshoot this weekend! EEK! So excited!!!
What I miss: Nothing really.
Movement: Not yet...

Food cravings: Carbs {bagels, pastas and french fries}.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I just can't shake the chicken aversion. Yuck.
Gender: Oh gosh. This week I think it's a GIRL? No wait, a boy. No. I don't know!

Labor Signs: Will start answering this in about 26 weeks...

Symptoms: Hip pain, oh my, it's terrible. If I get up too quickly, twist & turn while sleeping, move abruptly or even laugh too hard I get a shooting pain near my hip flexers. The other night I rolled over to grab my lip balm off my night stand and literally screamed the pain was so sharp! Anyone else ever experience this? I'm going to talk to my doctor during my next visit.  
Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Happy, happy, happy! 
Nursery: Just a few more weeks before we start working on this! However, I have created a Nursery Pinboard filled with lots of cute inspiration!  
Workouts: Elliptical workouts 4 days this week.
Prayer for Baby:   Dear Lord, I praise you for the miracle of this baby I am carrying. Truly, you are a great and wonderful God! I am amazed each day at the exquisite details and features that our baby is forming. I pray that our baby will receive a legacy of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). I also praise you for the two wonderful years of marriage you have blessed Matt and I with. We are so excited for what you have in store for us. Help us to continue to build a Christ-centered home for our family. In Jesus' name. Amen.    "You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." - Psalm 139:13
