Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 14

This is my woke up at 4am for work-too lazy/don't care for make-up or hair do's-worked 10 hours and just got home-let me go to sleep its 8pm already face.  
How Far Along:  
14 weeks

Size of baby:
A lemon

Total Weight Gain:
Down 6lbs, though as I start to feel better I have a feeling that will QUICKLY change.

Stretch Marks: 
Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
 I busted out some maternity capris to wear to the beach since I didn't feel like wearing a belt to bend over and take pictures all morning at a photo session, I forget how comfy maternity pants are!  Not having to wear them yet but I'm sure happy that I have maternity dress pants for this Saturdays wedding that I will be shooting cause my 'normal' dress pants would without a doubt not be comfortable all day, if they even zipped up!  Belly is on the move.

Gender:
Dunno yet

Movement:
nothing yet

Sleep:
Could I have some more please? 

What I miss:
not being BEAT at the end of the day...though I'm pretty sure I felt like that even before I was pregnant!

Food Cravings:   
doughnuts, bagels loaded with cream cheese, actually any dairy products, cereal (like I could eat it for every meal)  Weird how much my cravings change this time instead of wanting the same thing all the time.  I just get cravings for food that I hear someone else talk about and I need to eat it NOW :) 

Food Aversions: 
not as bad this week, able to eat more normally.  Yay.

Symptoms:
less nausea the last two days (as I type that this baby is preparing to stab me in some nausea causing organ I am sure of it) , hungry a lot more, what I assume is allergies like whoa, sneezing like crazy.  

Best Moment This Week:
hearing the heartbeat for the first time, finally some PROOF that there is a baby in there. 173 BPM 

What I’m looking forward to:  
anatomy scan ultrasound, so far away still.

 Addison:
Still ready for a "Puddin'" or "Little Cow"

13 weeks

Size of baby:
A lemon

Total Weight Gain:

 not yet, though I did go through my bin from last time to make sure that I had SOMETHING I could wear should I wake up and not be comfortable in my own clothes.  

Gender:
Dunno yet

Movement:
nothing I've felt yet

Sleep:
I'm still pretty sleepy, especially after a day where I'm on the go all day

not having a stomach ache!

Food Cravings:   
Totally depends on the moment, but mostly sweet, salty, and acidic stuff (lemonade/orange juice/tomatoes with vinegar and salt) 

Food Aversions: 
mostly meats just don't sound good to me

still on and off nausea but continuing to improve, CONSTANT sneezing and a new nagging head cold to go with, tiredness, low energy.

Best Moment This Week:
the beginnings of a legit baby bump

Doctor Appointment on Friday

 Addison:
Has decided if its a boy she's naming him "puddin'" and if its a girl "baby cow".  Yes baby cow.  I can already feel the sibling love.

Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 12



How Far Along:  
12 weeks

Size of baby:
A plum

Total Weight Gain:
Down 5lbs

Stretch Marks: 
None

Maternity Clothes:
nope, other than feeling bloated I don't feel like I've started to show much of anything yet, Doctor said I should start showing anytime now though.  I have been browsing e-bay and the second hand stores cause if you know my cheap ass, I'm not spending a ton on a new maternity wardrobe!  

Gender:
Dunno

Movement:
nothing I've felt yet

Sleep:
yes please


What I miss:  
Having some motivation.

Food Cravings:   
Totally depends on the moment, but mostly sweet, salty, and acidic stuff (lemonade/orange juice/tomatoes with vinegar and salt) 

Food Aversions: 
smells are getting to me big time this week, if the food stinks I completely lose my appetite.

Symptoms:
Still nauseous but fortunately I've had more feeling good moments this week than not, still lazy, tired, food aversions

Best Moment This Week:
finished telling all the required people at work of my pregnancy (yes it's on FB and I am friends with work people but word only travels so fast I guess)

What I’m looking forward to:  
next doctors appointment on the 23rd

 Addison:
nothing new on the Addison front this week, She will probably go with me to my Dr. appointment next week so hopefully she will get to hear the heartbeat when they do the doppler to get her a little excited.
