Baby Update: 14 Weeks - Second Trimester

I have made it to the Sceond Trimester!!!!! Praise God:)
(My Attempt to take my own picture)


How Far Along: 14 weeks
Size of Baby: About 3 1/2 inches long. He or she is about the size of a lemon.
Total Weight Gain: 3 1/2 lbs
Maternity Clothes: I give up on maternity clothes.....I guess it is off to larger normal clothes for now
Gender: Still have awhile until we find out.
Movement: Cannot feel it yet but really excited to:)
Food Cravings: Water with fresh fruit in it ( I bought a pitcher and put fresh fruit such as strawberries, oranges, and limes and not all at the same time. I have also enjoyed putting cucumbers in the water. It is so nice to have a pitcher in the fridge that I can just pour into a glass)
What I Miss: Feeling cute and petite.....I am feeling like an elephant and I know I have so much more to go
Sleep: It is final....my sleep depends on my wonderful husband who is once again on the road....which means not sleeping that well and terrible nightmares
Symptoms: Acne and my feet are hot and swollen at night (Could be because the weather is out of this world hot and humid....I am made for the cold and not 90+ weather and 90+ humidity) Thank God for AC!
Best Moment This Week: Laying in the cold pool with my friend Staci and her saying...."You have a baby bump!" She has seen me for the past few weeks and I guess I popped:)
What I Am Looking Forward To: Chris coming home on Friday and Fourth of July

Heather - give your body over to the baby and stop thinking about the pounds, the inches, the lovely fat. It's all there to help the baby grow and you can lose it all in 6 months time! Sending you a photo to show you what "big" is ;)
