Week 14... 2nd trimester!

Yay! 2nd trimester! I still feel pretty much the same as before. I've read that the 2nd trimester is supposed to be the "babymoon" where your energy comes back and you can exercise... that hasn't happened yet. I used a belly band for the first time and LOVED it! I can't button some of my pants and pencil skirts are becoming a thing of the past. I'm embracing it (trying to) and can't wait to get to the stage where people aren't guessing if I'm preggo or not.

How far along: 14 weeks
Total weight gain: about a pound

Maternity clothes? not yet but I started wearing a belly band... total life saver!

Stretch marks? none yet!

Sleep: I wake up to pee every night but other than that it's pretty good

Best moment this week: I'm now in my 2nd trimester... 1/3 of the way through my pregnancy!

Miss anything? buttoning some pairs of my pants

Movement: no

Food cravings: nothing specific... kinda turned off by sweets, candy, baked goods. I can handle just a few bites.

Coming soon...

We're expecting!  

We are so excited to have this little nugget join our family! I'm due August 23 and we couldn't be happier to have our first child!

We've been married 8 years but it only took a month for this baby to happen (TMI?) We feel so blessed because I know it's not always this easy for other women. As soon-to-be parents we're rapidly trying to learn about all the ups and downs of pregnancy and what to do once this little baby gets here. I'm feeling pretty good, I'm hungry all the time and was super tired in the beginning. I haven't been too sick which I count as a blessing. Of course, I'll be documenting the ever-growing bump starting now with week 12! I have a little belly but I feel I just look like I've eaten too much.

How far along: 12 weeks

Sleep: all the time

Best moment this week: Sharing our news via Facebook! We love, love, love all the congratulatory wishes!
