14 weeks.



we are 14 weeks today.

no bump to really speak of yet, but i thought i would document anyway. :)

baby's size: my little one is about the size of a lemon and can now squint, have facial expressions and possibly such his/her thumb.

pregnancy symptoms: i feel like i have finally come out of the fog of fatigue that is my entire first trimester.
it feels glorious to have that little extra boost of energy. other than that, i am not experiencing too many symptoms. i am that gal that goes through pregnancy with very few, if any, of the uncomfortable symptoms and actually thoroughly enjoys and loves everything about being pregnant. i know that is probably terribly annoying for some, but i promise i do not take it for granted. :) oh! i have had some pretty crazy dreams lately...pregnancy dreams always weird me out a bit!

cravings: anything with protein. water.

food aversions: none.

best moment this week: sharing our news with friends. :)

gender: do not know yet, but we will definitely find out at our next sono. i have thought a few times about waiting to know the gender at birth, but who am i kidding?! i can't wait! i do have some inklings on the gender of this little one, but i will wait to share...

exercise: sadly, i have not been running much at all for the last month or so. partly due to traveling, partly due to the weather (it has been super cold and while i can get out and run in the cold, i don't feel comfortable taking my boys out for that long), and partly due to a lack of energy. since i have taken so much time off from running, i will either start back up very slowly or just switch to walking, which is what i usually do during pregnancy. the running has been kinda hard to give up since i had become so attached through training for my first half marathon. i know my time to run will return though...although i'm not sure how i will manage with four. ;) 

looking forward to: continuing to feel my baby grow...the first feelings of movement!

i haven't decided how often i will do these little posts...maybe weekly, maybe bi-weekly.

i just want to document the experience a little more thoroughly than i did my others.

  1. Congratulations again Katie! You are lucky to not have many pregnancy symptoms, I too am one of the lucky ones! My Nain symptom is moodiness, which unfortunately affects those around me more than myself! I'm excited to read about your pregnancy journey!
