14 Weeks

Hmmm - eventful and massively uneventful, all at the same time, week.  Jessica started her second semester of her second year of veterinary school on Monday.  She get's up early, feeds the dog, goes to school aaaaaaall day, comes home, feeds me, then goes downstairs to read...then falls into bed.  She's got a lot on her plate this semester.  I'm sort of glad that we didn't get pregnant when originally planned because we'd have a newborn right now and she's got quite the course load.  It'll be nice for the baby to come while she's on summer vacation.

For me, it's my first full week at my new job.  I get up early, go to work aaaaaaall day, come home, eat, feed the dog, and fall into bed.  Lemme tell ya, we're a thrill a minute.  I fascinate about having a get away together - someplace really awesome.  Like a Greek island.  Or buying, yes buying, an RV and driving up one of the coasts.  Don't matta which one.  Start at the bottom...all the way up.

Now on to the best part of the week!

How far along:  14 weeks and 1 day

Total weight gain: Don't know - next weigh in is Feb 4

Maternity clothes: My one pair of maternity jeans is at the tailor getting an $8 hem job

Symptoms: None really, just a growing belly

Stretch marks: No

Sleep:  This week, not so great.  I have been waking up at 4:30 each morning.  My plan tonight is to whack myself in the head with a baseball bat and seeing if I make it to the alarm at 5:55.

Best moment of this week: Meh.  Nothing super great this week so far.  Been very busy, very tiring.  

What's new this week:  3.4 inches long!  Really hitting a growth spurt!  The baby can grimace, frown, and squint.  It's practicing breathing and may already be sucking it's thumb.

Miss anything:  This week I'm really missing big glasses of wine after a nutty day.

Movement:  Nothin yet.  I am so ready to feel that little munchky squirm around

Food cravings:  Still the dairy.  I think about food and I think "OMG that would be the best thing EVER"...to everything.  I've been pretty good not giving in although we did have mozzarella sticks the other day.  Baked, not from restaurant.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not sleeping is making me ill

Have you started to show yet:  Yup.  

Gender:  Still convinced it's a boy.  Big scan is Feb 7 but I'm not sold on finding out yet.

Labor signs:  No

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off:  On

Happy or moody most of the time:  Was happy for most of the week until today.  Just crabby today

Looking forward to:  Friday at 5pm
