14 Weeks | Our Little Peach | Baby T #2

14 weeks

How far along: 14 weeks

How big is baby? Peach

Symptoms: For the most part I felt better this past week. Monday night was the worst I’ve felt my whole pregnancy so far. Made it 13w6d before throwing up in the middle of OrangeTheory at exactly 14w...Don’t worry - I finished my workout and burned the most calories there since getting pregnant haha. Headaches are back - yipee! NOT

Maternity clothes: Yes - especially bottoms. Got a lot of new shorts this week.

Sleep: Sleep is okay for the most part. Getting up multiple times per night to pee (I inevitably end up drinking a bunch of water right before bed...fail)

Miss anything: Just feeling normal - although I’d probably have to go back to 2013 for my body to truly feel “normal”

Movement: I think I’ve felt some movement this week but not 100% positive

Food cravings: Takis craving is back but even more so craving pickles - the more sour the better!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Working out...I felt so nauseous at everyone of my workouts this week

Have you started to show yet: Yep

Labor signs: None

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Mood? Pretty emotional...feelings hurt pretty easily

Feeling boy or girl? Boy because of my cravings haha

Looking forward to: A low key week & weekend compared to this last week...I just need a break. The countdown to Disney is on!

Best moment of this week: Spending time with LeeAnn this weekend! It’s been way too long since we’ve spent more than like 2 hours together! Now I need to make a trip to Houston before this baby comes so I can finally see her new place!

13 Weeks | Our Little Lemon | Baby T #2

13 weeks

How far along: 13 weeks

How big is baby? Lemon

Symptoms: I’ll have a few good days & think yay...1st tri ailments are over! & then BAM another day of feeling crappy. Had some morning cramping this week which made working out a no-go. Fell asleep with Eli a few nights so that exhaustion is still come & go. About 30 mins-an hour after eating I end up feeling BLAH - tums are becoming my best friend (even though it’s not really heartburn, more like unsettled stomach)

Maternity clothes: Yes - I got a TON of used maternity clothes (including some long sleeved stuff) this week - excited to have some more variety

Sleep: Some days I end up exhausted & some days I’m fine - it’s a gamble!

Miss anything: Having more energy to workout...still this - or not feeling nauseous/crampy in the am causing me to skip.

Movement: Not yet

Food cravings: I went light on the takis this week - progress! New craving this week: sour candy - ugh

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing in particular

Have you started to show yet: Yep

Labor signs: None

Wedding rings on or off: On

Mood? Up & down this week

Feeling boy or girl? Girl...but then I think about last time & think it’s probably just a boy fooling us again! haha

Looking forward to: LeeAnn’s visit this weekend...I haven’t seen her in forever, or for more than a few hours at a time so this is a special treat!!

Best moment of this week: Had a date night with friends on Friday night - always nice to get away for a few hours AND had a family date on Sunday...best of both worlds!

12 Weeks | Our Little Plum | Baby T #2

12 weeks

How far along: 12 weeks

Symptoms: Another rough week...nausea and exhaustion continue. Not specifically from pregnancy but I was having costochondritis chest pain almost all week - making it hard to move & sleep. Luckily by the end of the week it had resolved. Also, still taking it easy after hurting my pelvis running at OTF last week (need to take it slower)

Maternity clothes: Yes - although still wearing regular tops (and maternity tops)

Looking forward to: A relaxing weekend! Date night with friends on Friday and then NO PLANS! Woohoo! Maybe work on cleaning out the nursery closet.

Best moment of this week: When trying to find the baby’s heartbeat on the doppler, Eli either wants to do it on me (where he basically just puts the jelly into my belly button with the wand...ew!) or do it on himself. It’s so dang cute to watch him! Wasn’t able to find the heartbeat yet but excited when E can finally hear it! Also...we had an ultrasound at 12w1d & the baby was measuring 12w4d. The heartbeat was 165 BPM. Baby was moving SO DANG MUCH! I think we might have another busy body aka Eli on our hands...uh oh! Love seeing that little peanut on the screen!!

Miss anything: We had wine tasting at our house this weekend & if I wasn’t constantly feeling nauseous I probably would’ve missed the wine.
