Here I am at 14w2d and feeling fabulous! I'm still a little fatigued. It's unusal for me to feel so wiped out. I have to remind myself that hellooo I am making a person over here! lol. But it's hard to comprehend that even now after seeing 3 ultrasounds. I have only gained 3lbs so far so that's good. I feel like I should probably watch what I eat. I don't think I should be gaining much more than 15lbs total or 20lbs if I can help it. I'm a little heavy to begin with. I was at my heaviest ever (dang it) when I got pregnant. 148lbs and 5'3 - I looked great but I could definately stand to slim down by about 10-12lbs. So here I am at 14 weeks my tummy is sticking WAYYY out! But I've only gained 3lbs? Isn't that odd! I am totally showing and its getting harder and harder to hide it at work. It's so funny this time around. Every other time I was pregnant (and subsequently m/c) I was shouting from the rooftops and telling everyone and anyone! Now I am so hestitant and protective of my little secret. It's almost like I don't want people to know because I wouldn't go parading my kid around online or around our neighborhood for all the strangers in the world to see! So why would I do that now?
I certainly don't like to get any lip from anyone and I'm not one for unsolicited advice that's for sure. I will enjoy these last few weeks of quiet time as much as possible. I figure around week 20 or so I should let people know at work. I'll know the sex of the baby by then too. My next prenatal is April 11 then next u/s is April 30 ... that's when we should know if we are having a boy or a girl. I will be very surprised if it is not a boy. I am totally convinced that it is! Both my husband and I had dreams that we had a girl.. so its definitely going to be a boy! lol. Also, based on my age and the month I conceived according to Chinese calendar its a boy and based on when we bd and when I ovulated - it's a boy. So if it's a girl- that will be a big shocker!
No aches or pains lately. Just a little pulling and tugging behind belly button here and there. Some shooting pains in the vagina once in a while but hardly ever. No pains otherwise! I really need to do some butt and thigh toning NOW to help make sure I don't get a rear end the size of the Chrysler building after birth. We were doing good with going on daily walks but its just so cold and snowy out still I dont want to go out there and I feel very lazy lately too.
I wolfed down about 8 pickles this morning and washed them down with pickle juice. Ew. So gross I know but I am CRAVING the salt. I usually go nutty with the olives and chips... but we are out of everything so the pickles had to do! Of course my body is craving junk junk junk. I ate two bean burritos yesterday and I love cheeseburgers and hashbrowns and all that other garbage. 80% of the time I am eating all organic foods. Dairy, meat, eggs, veggies, fruits are all organic. But I still eat ice cream and potato bread and pasta and hit the fast food joints a couple times a week. Isn't that terrible. :( I need to get a handle on that. It's like I don't want the healthy food all the time. I want soft, sugary, salty comfort food. Ugh. :P
Just ate a delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich. OMG it was so good. And time for a little taste of ice cream before I take a nap. What a little piggie. Today this ends. Promise. For real. I mean it this time!
