How far along? 14 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 133.2 (+0.2 week) (+3.0 total)

Maternity clothes? Over-belly pants, bigger bra, longer non-maternity sweaters (shorter ones are getting a bit too short).

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: Much better! I have to make sure I eat before bed, then I’m generally fine. My bladder has even been easing up at night, I’ve been sleeping the whole night through! Only a couple of times I’ve woken up with an unhappy, hungry, gurgly belly and HAD to eat something middle of the night.

Best moment this week: Can’t think of any that stand out this week.

Movement: Not feeling any yet.

Food cravings/aversions: Still battling the candy cravings, but trying hard to eat healthier. Definitely craving sweet carbs, like pastries. I find myself looking for heavier foods – fruit is all well and good, but I want something that anchors my stomach.

Belly Button in or out? In, but stretched.

What I miss: Oddly enough, my shoes. My feet cramp up bad if I wear any heels at all. :(

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the sex next month!

Weekly Wisdom: Things really CAN get better in the second trimester the second time around, even if they didn’t the first time – who knew?!

Milestones: 14 weeks is when the amnion and corion fuse… which means the risk of amniotic bands happening is past. (Granted we’ll never know what’s already happened, but I already feel less paranoid.)

Symptoms:
– Nausea really decreased this week… not feeling very sick at all. Still gaggy in the morning, and I have to remember to eat, but absolutely nothing compared to what it was. I’m hungry, too. I find myself wandering the kitchen, hunting.
– Boobs fully and achy.
– Bloat belly feels like it’s gone down significantly, unless I eat a large meal. The bottom of my belly is really starting to pooch with a REAL baby belly – I am so excited!
– A lot of ligament pains in my belly, especially in the mornings when I get up.
– Still quite gassy. Lots of belly gas bubbles that irritate the hell out of me.
– Foot cramps are becoming more frequent. I have to be very careful how I sit or they cramp up.
