14 Weeks. Second Trimester!!

14 Weeks. Baby is the Size of a Peach

Total Weight Gain/Loss? 0 lbs.

Maternity Clothes? Yes, for the most part because they are just more comfortable and look better on me at this point. If there is one thing I have learned is there is no point fighting it!

Stretch Marks? Nope

Sleep? Feeling a little more energized, but still happy to sneak in a nap when I can.

Best moment this week? Looking pregnant! It’s so much better than just feeling fluffy. For not putting on any weight so far, it is truly amazing how much my body has already changed.
Miss Anything? Christmas Beer. Although I really don’t like the smell of beer right now, so maybe not?
Movement? I swear I have felt a flutter....but I could be imagining things.
Food cravings? I just like snacking in general. It’s pretty well rounded between sweet and salty.
Anything making you queasy or sick? I felt great when we were in NC. Then was back to feeling sick the next week. But since then I think it has finally tapered off! I haven’t been nauseous lately. But now I get headaches and occasional insomnia.
Gender?  Bran says sister, Amelia says brother. I think really it’s just what they are both used to. 
Labor Signs? No.
Belly Button in or out? It’s popping out. Amelia likes to poke it and talk to the baby.
Wedding rings on or off? On
How is mama feeling? Better. Less nervous. More excited.
Looking forward to?  Christmas season

Well since this will be our last baby, I can say I have just wrapped up my last first trimester. I feel okay leaving it behind because I felt so terrible it was hard to be a good Mom. But I am feeling so much more like myself now am so happy to be starting my second trimester! I also feel so beautiful being cute pregnant at this stage. I love having a little baby bump. I have been energized, and trying to get in a few workouts a week. I haven’t been getting any of the early pregnancy aches and pains this time around. I think both coming in more fit and continuing to work at it is helping. 

Joe and I had a great weekend in Bald Head Island with our friends. It was a much needed recharge away from the kids. By the end of the weekend, we really did miss them! It was the longest we had been away from either of them in awhile. Minus some rain, the weather was fantastic and we got in some much needed sunshine, relaxation, and fun with friends!

We made it Facebook official at 11 weeks! I was starting to show, and Bran was starting to talk. So we felt like it was time to share. Everyone has been so happy for us. And everyone that has 3 kids seems to think we are joining a great club lol.

We are wrapping up fall. The leaves have all fallen, and we are expecting our first snowfall on Monday morning. COVID is running rampant so things are a bit weird, but we are trying to make the best of it. We had a small Thanksgiving celebration with Renee, Aaron, and Jaden. The kids got to meet their new puppy, Winston! 

Hard to believe December is just a few days away! We got all of our Christmas decorations up and the kids are so incredibly excited. We helped them write their letters to Santa and dropped them off in his special mailbox so they can get to the North Pole. Bran wants a “marble race” (Gravitrax) and a “Dino garage” (hot wheels). Amelia wants a doll house and Minnie Mouse. Hopefully they stay on the nice list and Santa can bring some nice gifts.
