14 weeks!

First, the pic of the day:


I don't know if you can see a difference, but I will say that my belly is rounder. It goes from hip bone to hip bone now. So the belly is growing, that's good.

I do have a couple new symptoms, that I know you're dying to learn about! So I made a quick list of current symptoms to satisfy your curiosity:

Tiredness. I don't always take a nap every day, but I could!

Nausea. I only get it in the evenings, but it bothers me to no end. I'm thankful that I'm not barfing, but it's still uncomfortable.

Constant belching. Again, mostly in the evenings, which adds to my general discomfort.

Frequent trips to the restroom. At least twice a night, and constantly during the day.

Food aversions and food cravings. Keep all tomato sauce pasta away from me, and keep the Mexican food and fried goods coming!! And ice cream!

Headaches. I've been getting them for a about a week now, especially when I stand up, but they tend to linger around no matter what. The kind of headache you get when you've been laying down for a while and stand up too quickly, that also makes you loose your balance. Completely normal, as there's more blood flowing in my system and the same amount of vessels.

Stuffy nose. Especially at night. I've been getting it for about a week. Annoying. Also a result of more blood going through the same vessels.

And a rounding belly!


See, I knew you wanted to know all about it!! Hehe.


And cause I know you're also dying to know, here's how big Lovebug is:


Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.

Anyways, tomorrow is our next doctor's appt. I'll update around noon!
