This week has become a turning point for us. Bed rest is finally paying off. My blood pressure has started to go up and I'm FINALLY starting to gain a little weight. I had a doctors appointment and Alli got to help with the doppler so we could hear the baby's heart beat. She was so excited that she got to help. She really is trying to be a great big sister already. Plus, hearing the baby's heart beat is always an amazing experience.
This week was fun for us. Alli got to go to Seaworld for the first time. She loved to see the shows. Now she wants to go back every week. Then the week got even better for her. My father-in-law came in from Puerto Rico. Alli just loves him. She is so happy when he is here. I'm glad that he can come up and see my belly grow. He has 3 granddaughters and makes each one of them feel like gold.
I look forward to the next few weeks. I am started to feel like myself again so that gives me a little hope that I will be back to normal (well as normal as I can possible come close to) so I can enjoy the beach, workout, travel, take our babymoon to St.Thomas, and make lots of trips to Ohio!
How far along? 14 weeks.
Total weight gain/loss: I am now up 3 pounds! So that means only 10 more pounds until I'm at my pre-pregnancy weight!
Maternity clothes? I'm finding long maxi dresses and longer shirts to wear. I'm okay with just my black maternity pants. I'm waiting to go to Ohio to shop!!
Stretch marks? No! I hope I can say that every week!
Sleep: In the last week, my sleep pattern has been off and on because my belly is now getting bigger.
Best moment this week: I got to hear the little heart beat and Alli got to help. I love that sound.
Have you told family and friends: Yes.
Miss Anything? I just miss having energy but I'm sure now that I'm in my second trimester I will get it back.
Movement: I feel little flutters.
Food cravings: I want lemonade all of the time. I love the sweet and sour.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Luckily, I haven't felt sick in awhile.
Have you started to show yet: I have a bump now. I think it's very cute.
Gender prediction: It changes every time I think about it.
Labor Signs: No.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I wish they had sleepy as a choice!
Weekly Wisdom: Tell your doctor every one of your concerns, even if you think they won't matter. You never know!
Looking forward to: Beach season! It's only officially a few weeks away!
