Finally, a bump picture at 14w5d! I feel like my belly looks much bigger than it is in the picture. So cute that Elle wants to be in the picture too :).
Here's a quick check-in:
How far along?: 14w5d
How big is baby: The size of a lemon!
Weight gain/loss: +5 (from pre-pregnancy weight); same weight gain at this time when I was pg with Elle! I want to note that my pre-pregnancy weight this time is 5 lbs heavier (but since I am short, it looks more like I gained 10 lbs!) than my pre-pg weight with Elle.
Pregnancy symptoms: Having an appetite for 5 people! lol. Since I am out of the 1st tri, I feel like I am slowly gaining my energy back.
Maternity clothes: Yes! I had been wearing my maternity jeans because it's so comfy. Been wearing my belly bands too. I have snagged $3 - $7maternity sweaters and long sleeve shirts at the consignment store :).
Best moment this week: After not working out for a long time, I went to the gym 2x this week! Took a circuit training and spin class! Who knew spinning to the tune of Gangnam Style will be so much fun! I hope to get back on track at the gym from here on out.
We recently opened a baby doll set (which includes a baby blanket, pillow, bottle, pacifier, diaper and baby dog) which was given to Elle as a birthday gift last year! Elle loves her baby doll and takes really good care of the baby. She even have the baby sleep with her in the crib. First and last thing she does before she goes to sleep and when she wakes up is put the baby's blanket on. She also takes the baby's pacifier out before she does to sleep (since we told her baby can't sleep with a paci). It made me think that she will be a great big sister to Baby Jarbs2 :).
Stretch Marks: None
Sleep: I get about ~7 hours of sleep at night
Movement: I've felt some "bubbles" a couple of times but was not sure if that was Baby Jarbs2
Food cravings: Root beer!
Food aversions: Frozen yogurt again!
Labor signs: None
Belly button in or out: Still in but I feel like it is going to pop out much earlier this time
What I miss: Medium steak and over-easy eggs!
What I am looking forward to: 16 week appointment in 2 weeks!
