14 Weeks/Easter

 

 

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along:  14 Weeks

Size of baby:  about the size of a lemon!

Total Weight Gain:  8 lbs. Still not gaining....I'm very happy.  

Maternity Clothes: I'm about half and half.  Maternity pants are too big, but SO comfortable!

Gender: We aren't finding out.  However, the Murrays have all of the sudden started having girls!! The last 2 Murray babies were girls!!  Maybe we will have one!

Movement: Nothing yet.  I'm anxiously waiting!!

Sleep: Sleep is ok.  I have to get up to go to the bathroom at least once a night and once in a while I have a hard time getting back to sleep.  It's better now, because Jack is out of our bed!

What I miss: Being able to wear clothes.  I'm in such an inbetween stage right now.  I'd go all out maternity but most of my maternity clothes are summer clothes....and well, it's not summer yet. 

Cravings: Tim Horton's breakfast sandwiches, and deviled eggs.

Symptoms: Sciatic Nerve pain.  It's awful. 

Best Moment this week:   Gosh, I don't know.  Nothing out of the ordinary has happened in pregnancy land.  

Easter - we didn't dye eggs like I had planned, just too much going on this weekend.   I barely got Jack an Easter basket!   

Jack and Marcel at church.  This was the best I could get.  The jackets they are wearing were either John's or Bryant's or both of theirs at this age.

They were much more interested in the baskets of eggs.

Easter basket!!  He was too exited to sit for a picture!  

Playing with his new trains.

Then we went to visit my Aunt Karen and Uncle Doug for Easter dinner and an egg hunt!

 

He was on a mission!

13 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along:  13 weeks

Size of baby:  about the size of a peach!

Total Weight Gain:  8 lbs. I haven't gained anything in a month. Crazy.

Maternity Clothes: I'm about half and half.  Maternity pants are too big, but SO comfortable!

Gender: We aren't finding out.  We think it's a boy. Murrays only have boys!

Movement: Nothing yet.  I'm hoping I don't have another anterior placenta so I can feel this baby sooner than I felt Jack!

Sleep: Sleep is ok.  I have to get up to go to the bathroom at least once a night and once in a while I have a hard time getting back to sleep.  It's better now, because Jack is out of our bed!

What I miss: Being able to wear clothes.  I'm in such an inbetween stage right now.  I'd go all out maternity but most of my maternity clothes are summer clothes....and well, it's not summer yet. 

Cravings: Nothing really.  

Symptoms: fatigue. and random pains.

Best Moment this week:   Hearing our baby's heartbeat!    I had a midwife appointment yesterday and she changed my due date to Oct 22, so I think my updates will now be on Saturdays.    Appointments are funny because I lay on the table so she can hear the heartbeat, do an exam, or an ultrasound, etc, and Jack gets worried, he says "Are you ok Mama?"  Sweet boy.

12 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along:  12 weeks

Size of baby:  about the size of a lime!

Total Weight Gain:  7.5 lbs.  I'm down a lb!   This is crazy!  I was a weight gaining machine last pregnancy.  I get that 7.5 lbs is a lot for the first 12 weeks, but it was all early, when I was eating Wendy's hamburgers every day for lunch.  

Maternity Clothes: I'm about half and half.  Maternity pants are too big, but SO comfortable!

Gender: We aren't finding out.  We think it's a boy. Murrays only have boys!

Movement: Way too early to feel movement.  I didn't feel Jack until 21 or 22 weeks.

Sleep: Sleep is ok.  I have to get up to go to the bathroom at least once a night and once in a while I have a hard time getting back to sleep.  It's better now, because Jack is out of our bed!

What I miss: Being able to wear clothes.  I'm in such an inbetween stage right now.  I'd go all out maternity but most of my maternity clothes are summer clothes....and well, it's not summer yet. 

Cravings: Nothing really.  

Symptoms: fatigue. and random pains.   Today, a really bad pain that seems like it's my sciatic nerve.   Great.

Best Moment this week:   Realizing that it has been over 1 month since I last nursed Jack and he's been out of our bed for a week.   2 goals that I thought it would take 9 months to take care of....we did it in about 1 month!

11 weeks!
