Week 14

Well, here I am...14 weeks with (as my nephew Jack likes to say) my "Bun in the Oven."  Well, I was officially 14 weeks this past Saturday, but we were consumed with the nephews.  I caught a glance of myself in the mirror on Saturday and was like, "Woah...where'd that tummy come from?!"  I can no longer suck it in.  It's there, and I'm okay with it!  It means that Baby B-shaw is growing!  Please excuse the outfit...I had yoga earlier!

How Far Along: 14 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Loss of 2 pounds, but that was at my last appointment on October 29th.  I have a feeling that there will be a gain when I go back to the doctor at the end of November.  How fair is it that I have to go to the doctor right after Thanksgiving and Christmas?!

Maternity Clothes: I've worn maternity pants a few times, just because they are more comfy than a lot of my regular pants.  I have a Bella Band and wear that, too!

Gender: Wish we knew!  I think our appointment will be the week after Christmas.

Movement: Not yet, but I have a feeling it will start in the next few weeks.

Sleep: I've been having some back/sciatic nerve pain, so that has been annoying my during the night.  I'm trying to sleep on my side with a pillow between my legs, by apparently I toss and turn all night, so I tend to lose the pillow.

What I miss: I had a good salad that had blue cheese on it, but I took it mostly off.  Also, we had our annual End of Parent-Teacher Conferences Wine and Cheese Party on Friday night at my co-worker's house.  It would have been fun to partake in the vino, but oh well!

Cravings: Nothing in particular!  I love sweets and cold dairy products (frozen yogurt, yogurt, ice cream, etc).

Symptoms: Sciatic nerve and lower back pain

Best Moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat with the doppler I bought (heard it a few times this week) and having Jack, our nephew, ask me, "Aunt Kate...how is your bun in the oven?"  Hilarious!
