14 weeks

time is zooming by. already 14 weeks, but still so far to go! hubby and i have been visiting family the past week, which has been wonderful. school starts on monday and it's back to my normal routine and schedule. i thrive on a normal schedule. so anyway here is the preggie progress this week:

How far along: 14 weeks
Size of baby: nectarine, baby is about 3.5-4 inches long and from 1.5-2 ounces, all of peanut's body systems are starting to work on their own now, and (s)he is practicing breathing the amniotic fluid, sucking and making faces and swallowing as well as flipping and turning all over the place.
Total weight gain: not sure yet since i haven't weighed myself this week 
Maternity clothes: bought 3 pairs of maternity pants this week. i had been using the belly bands over my normal pants, but that is no longer comfortable, and my MIL said maternity pants would be much more comfortable...so much better! although they are a little baggy around the legs after a few hours of wear, hopefully as i get bigger this won't be an issue
Gender: will find out on valentine's day
Movement: kicking and flipping like a soccer player, every once in awhile i can feel peanut's movements
Sleep: have been sleeping like a champ since on vacation but still takes time to get comfortable
What I miss: being able to drink large quantities of coffee whenever i want
Cravings: not much besides fruit and the occasional piece of chocolate
Symptoms: some pain as my abdomen and stuff stretches, back is feeling better, headaches, feeling noticeably bigger in my stomach and when i slouch or bend over it feels like a there is a large rock in my stomach
Best moment this week: spending time with hubby's family and seeing some friends that we haven't for awhile, we face timed with our dear friends Katy and Kate! gotta love this technology, eating s'mores with my sister in law by the fireplace inside
