14 Weeks!

 

 

Hello second trimester!!!

 

My baby bump app says that Baby Guy is about the size of a lemon, which definitely doesn't explain why it looks like I'm showing already.  My sister says there's gotta be two in there - I just hope if that's the case that we find out next week during our ultrasound.  My theory is that the baby is just pushing my pre-preg fat forward.  I still have yet to gain a pound and I'm so thankful for that! 

 

I scored some maternity clothes at a local consignment shop for next to nothing last week.  My SIL also gifted me some of her old maternity clothes, which will help a ton.  I now have 2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of shorts, a pair of capris, and a few cardigans that will hopefully get me through the next couple of months.  I'm sure at the rate that my belly is protruding forward I'll be trying to acquire more clothes to keep me covered!  =)

 

This past weekend I finally felt like my energy levels are getting back to normal.  I started walking about a mile every evening just to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather we've been having.  I plan on kicking the mileage up in the coming weeks, but for now I'm just trying to get used to being more active.  I also mowed the yard on Saturday to get rid of the leaves and dead grass that was covering it.  It was nice to finally feel like doing something other than take a nap!

 

I've also started cooking again and the hubby is oh-so-happy to have his wife back to normal.  We've been eating a lot of cereal and sandwiches, so having steak one night, chicken quesadillas the next, and lasagna the night after that, has been a welcome surprise (to the both of us). 

 

We're so excited for our ultrasound next week and are even more anxious to find out the gender, so we can start doing a little bit of shopping.  I'm also ready to get going on a registry and we plan on having a gender reveal party around the beginning of March.

 

Please continue to keep us and Baby Guy in your prayers!
