Week 14

November 9th, 2013

How far along:
14 weeks

Baby is the size of a:
Lemon

Total weight gain:
5lbs this week…can this be right? I’m up 11lbs total.

Maternity Clothes?
I’m wearing some maternity pants and I’m also still trying to make some of my regular pants work, along with the Belli Band. I’m still doing okay with my regular shirts, they’re just getting tighter!

Stretch Marks?
None yet.

Sleep?
Going to bed at nine these days! Sleep is okay, but having some really crazy dreams lately.

Best moment of the Week:
Picking out some stuff for the nursery (haven’t bought anything yet though).

Movement:
Nothing yet.

Food Cravings:
None.

Belly Button in or out:
In.

Gender:
We’ll find out in just a few days! I couldn’t be more anxious or excited! I feel like this pregnancy will feel much more real after we know if we’re having a boy or a girl! We already have names picked out and I can’t wait to start buying stuff!

Symptoms:
Still kicking my butt. I have cut my anti nausea medication in half about a week ago and have been dry heaving each morning ever since (sorry tmi). I’m just taking it one day at a time and hope everything will get better soon.

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
Car Rides and not eating frequently.

Have you Started to Show yet?
I always wonder if strangers think I’m pregnant or if I’m just a little chubby! :) Either way, I love my belly and I’m proud to show it off!

What I miss:
Same things as usual…my energy, feeling good, my clear skin.

What I'm looking forward to:
Finding out the gender! I told everyone who is coming to our ultrasound that they had to wear blue or pink to cast their vote, so far I think the “teams” are split evenly!

What I'm not looking forward to:
More of these pregnancy symptoms.

Weekly Wisdom:
Just roll with it!


Wie weit:
14 Wochen

Baby ist so gross wie eine:
Zitrone

Insgesamte Gewichtszunahme:
Mehr als 2kg diese Woche, kann das richtig sein? Im ganzen habe ich soweit 5kg zugenommen!

Umstandskleidung?
Ich trage ein paar Schwangerschaftshosen, aber versuche ausserdem weiterhin, mit meinen normalen Hosen und dem Belli Band zu improvisieren. Ich trage weiterhin meine normalen Oberteile, sie werden nur etwas enger!

Schwangerschaftsstreifen?
Bislang noch nicht.

Schlaf?
Ich gehe zur Zeit immer um neun ins Bett. Schlaf ist okay, aber ich hatte diese Woche ein paar wirklich verrueckte Traeume.

Bester Moment der Woche:
Moebel fuer das Kinderzimmer auszusuchen (wir haben aber noch nichts gekauft).

Bewegungen des Babys:
Noch nicht.

Heißhunger:
Nein.

Bauchnabel drinnen oder draussen:
Drinnen.

Geschlecht:
Wir werden es in ein paar Tagen heraus finden! Ich bin so nervoes und aufgeregt und freue mich riesig! Ich habe das Gefuehl, dass die Schwangerschaft sich “wirklicher” anfuehlen wird, sobald wir wissen, ob wir einen Jungen oder ein Maedchen haben werden. Wir haben uns bereits auf Namen geeinigt und ich kann es kaum erwarten, ein paar Sachen fuer unser Baby zu kaufen!

Symptome:
Sind immer noch ziemlich schrecklich. Ich habe vor einer Woche meine Medikamente gegen die Uebelkeit auf die Haelfte herabgesetzt und muss nun jeden Morgen nach dem Aufstehen wuergen. Ich versuche einen Tag nach dem anderen zu nehmen und hoffe, dass es bald besser wird.

Gibt es etwas, wovon dir schlecht wird?
Auto fahren und wenn ich nicht oft genug esse.

Kann man dir die Schwangerschaft ansehen?
Ich frage mich immer, ob fremde Leute denken, dass ich schwanger bin oder einfach nur ein bisschen dick! :) Wie auch immer, ich liebe meinen Bauch und bin stolz auf ihn!

Was ich vermisse:
Die gleichen Dinge wie zuvor: meine Energie, mich gut zu fuehlen und meine reine Haut.

Worauf ich mich freue:
Herauszufinden, was es wird! Ich habe allen, die zum Ultraschall kommen, gesagt, dass sie entweder was blaues oder pinkes tragen muessen, um ihren Tipp abzugeben. Ich glaube bisher haben wir die gleiche Anzahl von Leuten in jedem “Team”!

Worauf ich mich nicht freue:
Die Moeglichkeit, dass es mir weiterhin schlecht geht.

Wöchentliche Weisheit:
Just roll with it!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
