I Survived My 1st Trimester

I survived my 1st trimester. I can no longer go by what others say, because I've truly learned that every woman's body is different. I know some people who breezed through the first trimester, and others who spent the majority of their days (and nights) at the toilet bowl....go figure. Let's just say this is how I feel.....

We are now at now in our 2nd trimester! Hopefully the morning [all day] sickness will become less frequent and I'll have a little more energy. Things haven't been horrible, but there are some foods that just don't agree with baby. I thought I had it nailed down, but every few days I'm faced with a new surprise. Joey thinks baby is a picky eater---like mommy.

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 14 weeks 4 days

Size of Baby: About the size of a lemon...measuring around 3 inches (will know exact measurements and weight at our next appointment)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Ummm..I've never obsessed over my weight (for obvious reasons) but the nurse confirmed that I gained 7lbs ....in 4 weeks. Whew, only 28 more to go ::blank stare::

Maternity Clothes: Not yet--but I see them in the near future. My pants barely fit and when they do, I definitely can't zip or button them.

Gender: We will find out at our next appointment! 

Movement:I'm not sure. Some moms say they've felt movement or flutters around this time. I thought I felt a flutter last week but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, I can't wait to feel the baby move!

Sleep: I've never been a consistent sleeper so that's about the same. However, I do get up several times to pee :/

Cravings/Aversions: This is tricky because I've always been a picky eater. One week baby hates Mexican food, the next week I'm craving it. Wanna know the sad part? I LOVE fried catfish and since the beginning of my pregnancy I can't even be around it. The thought alone makes me want to puke. I hope that changes.

Emotions: Let's just say preggo hormones are real. I've always been pretty emotional but now....poor Joey.

What I miss: Nothing really besides having control of my bladder lol

Symptoms: Still dealing with a little nausea every now and then. I'm not as tired as I have been but after I eat it...it's a wrap. My emotions are still all over the place but I'm going to pray on that (lol). I did experience a bit of round ligament pain around week 10-11. It was not a good feeling, but I understand that it's part of the process.

What I'm looking forward to: Finding out the gender!
