Baby Bump {Week 14}

I am going to try and update on the baby once a week. I was so good with LB that I don't want to slack too much with this one. I may switch up the questions a little from last time but we shall see. My favorite part of anyone's pregnancy is watching their belly grow, so to be fair I will share with you all growth pictures of mine. I feel like I am so much bigger this time around but really I am about the same. The only real difference is my belly button already popped out and I am already feeling round ligament pains.

How far along? today I am 14 wks 1 days

Baby is the size of a(n): lemon.

Food cravings/aversions: This time around I am loving apples and mexican. With LB it was all things citrus. But I absolutely cannot stand pork this time around. Even the smell makes me sick. Luckily, we really don't eat that much pork but my mom sometimes makes roast here and her favorite is pork roast. I finally had to teach her how to make it in a crockpot so she could make it away from me ;)

Sleeping: Not too bad yet. I probably wake up once or twice for a bathroom run but besides that we are good. I think its easier this time because I started using the blessed pregnancy pillow the week we found out. It helps me sleep so much better by taking all the pressure off my hips. I also think spending my day chasing LB around has me so worn out at bedtime that I just crash.

Milestones: We are in the 2nd trimester!  Such a fun milestone to be at. Although, I can't really complain first trimester was not too bad for me just nausea here and there but overall pretty easy. I am looking forward to the renewed energy I have been given this week and to be able to stay up with hubs at night without crashing so quickly. OH and I also felt the baby move! I love those first little flutters. Seriously, melts my heart everytime. I know LB is just going to love feeling his sibling kicking and punching about in a few weeks.

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: Not too much interesting is going on here. I still fit into my clothes but slowly my buttons are becoming undone and my shirts are getting short. Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) all the maternity pants I have are way too big so I think it will be a few more month until I get into them. I was blessed during my last pregnancy to be given a stack full of jeans in sizes bigger than what I normally wear so I think those will become my go to clothes here pretty soon.

Differences this time around: I think the biggest one I have noticed so far is weight gain. With LB I gained a ton of weight. In the first trimester alone with him I gain 18 pounds. I know a lot of it was due to stress I had from my job and other things going on. So this time it is nice seeing the scale slooowly creep up. I also think it helps that I was running before I got pregnant this time and a lot more active. I have stopped running now though, because I had lots of spotting early on and didn't want to cause any harm by running but I am still staying active chasing LB around, playing Just Dance on the Wii and this week I am going to start doing my pregnancy yoga again. 

So that's about all I got for now. Do you guys have any questions you'd like me to add to these weekly updates?
