Week 14

Date: 4/4/15

How far along: 14 weeks, 1 day

Fruit-size comparison: Lemon

Maternity clothes: I've worn a couple things now and they are so comfortable.  I don't really need them yet, but I figure I won't get much use out of maternity clothes so I might as well use them as long as possible. 

Weight gain:  I don't know.  The belly is definitely growing, but I don't know how that translates into weight gain. 

Stretch Marks: Not yet.

Sleep: I'm sleeping well and am finally getting my energy back!

Best moment of the week: Announcing my pregnancy on Facebook and meeting my new nephew for the first time.  People were so sweet and supportive on Facebook.  And, of course, my nephew is adorable. 

Movement: Not for awhile, unfortunately.  

Cravings: Nothing new.  I am finding that I'm having less food aversions so I'm happy about that. 

Gender: I can't wait to find out.  

Anything making you queasy/sick: Not anymore.  I'm feeling great. 

What I miss:  Not a whole lot.  I'd give up almost anything for a healthy baby. 
What I’m looking forward to: I stilll can't wait until my next doctor appointment. And, also, feeling the baby move. 

Symptoms:  There haven't been any new symptoms, other than a growing belly. 

Emotions:  This has been a rough week, actually.  I 'm still thrilled about the pregnancy, but I've had a really hard time with work lately.  I've never bounced back from starting a job I didn't want and then having a miscarriage less than two weeks after starting that job. And to top it off, I don't have the most supportive co-workers.  Although they knew that I went through fertility treatment and had a miscarriage, they don't seem to care that I'm pregnant.  I know you're not supposed to talk negatively about work on a public blog, but none of my co-workers know about this blog, nor do they know how to find it.  I just needed to vent because I've been holding this all in for too long, trying to be politically correct, and I can't do it anymore.:(
