14 Weeks: Are We There Yet?

This was one of "those weeks" when I couldn't bring myself to fix my hair...so, here ya go. 

How far along? 14 Weeks
Total weight gain: not sure...might have lost some... :(
Maternity clothes? yep - Really enjoying stretchy gauchos and t-shirts this week.
Stretch marks? not yet
Sleep: The past few days have been sleep friendly. Naps, however, leave me sick feeling. Weird dreams. I keep dreaming that I forget to breastfeed the baby.
Best moment this week: Having quality time with Derek and tummy talk, when we just rub my Buddha belly and talk to baby. Talking to my best friends and getting a maternity shirt from Nat. 

Miss Anything? Being able to eat fruit and not having to make decisions about food. Not anticipating throwing up. Movement: I think so. It feels like gas bubbles moving around in my tummy. 
Food cravings: Calzones! We drove to Odessa for a Calzone. I finally found a place that makes them online. I also threw up on the steering wheel on the way there, but hey, I got the calzone!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Pineapple, chedder cheese, water, chicken, anything sweet, the trash, the water that comes out of the faucet, hot air from the hot car, nail polish, toilet water, musty books, morning breath, driving, speed bumps, bending over, grapes, coughing.  
Gender: 3 more weeks!  
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Mostly evening sickness. Haven't been sick in the AM, but EVERY PM, I'm full on, stomach virus S.I.C.K. We've been worried about dehydration lately because water seems to make me throw up. Still have pains and cramps in my pelvis mostly from baby moving forward. Slight dizziness this week, mostly due to sickness. Killer headaches. Doesn't pregnancy sound amazing!
Belly Button in or out? in, but getting more shallow.
Wedding rings on or off? today on, but a couple of days this week I could only wear my engagement ring. It's hot here. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: When I'm not crying over the toilet, I'm crying during a movie or I'm easily annoyed.
Baby's Milestones: Baby Fekkes is now the size of a lemon and around 3 inches long. The intestines have moved into baby's permanent spot (no longer in the cord) and baby Fekkes is starting to urinate! Woo! Sounds like fun. 
Looking forward to: An easier week, slower paced to begin researching what Baby Fekkes is going to need. Also, I would love to go 2 days without throwing up! 
Derek's summary of the week: Sickness for the wife is not lasting all day long. It is seeming to wane a little bit, although, there are still intense times of things I will not go into detail about that make me thankful that I am a man. The baby is beginning to show. It is becoming more of a reality, seeing the baby bump. It's crazy to think of the little baby swimming around in there...the size of a lemon...its a pretty good size.
