Baby #2 Bumpdate: 14 Weeks


What's baby up to this week? He/she is the size of a lemon, measures 3-1/2" long and weighs about 1-1/2 oz. They can squint, frown, grimace, pee and suck their thumb. Baby's liver started making bile, and the spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells.

What's been going on with mom? We went to Disneyland with Emma this past weekend and I had a fair amount of cramping from being on my feet a lot. But it was so fun to watch Emma take in the Happiest Place on Earth. She had such fun and I was so emotional watching her meet her favorite characters and watch the parades and fireworks. Best thing ever!

Symptoms: Feeling sluggish. Just all the time sleepy. I thought this was supposed to pass! Also the emotions have been on high alert! The most random things make me cry and others are pretty obvious why I would be crying. Like I said above I have had some cramping, but a lot of time its just round ligament pain. Also.....the peeing when I sneeze thing has begun again. That's always a fun one! My dreaming has slowed down a bit, but I have been having lots of nightmares up until recently and I am glad to be sleeping through the night! Thanks to Emma for that also!

Yummy/Icky: I am in straight avoidance mode right now. Trying to stay away from all things that trigger nausea. Which means I have to stick with pretty bland and non greasy foods right now. Plain, non tomato or light sauces on pasta. Fruits and veggies are high on the list. Everytime I go to the store I wander through the fresh aisle and I usually come out with several things. Most of it has to be ICE COLD though. Water has been a pretty large craving too, I'll take a hint that I am not drinking enough. That also has to be ICE COLD. At least were coming into the summer months when the good fruits and veggies are readily available.

Clothing: Same.....squeezing into what I can. I know I don't have a ton of summer options for maternity so I am probably gonna have to do some shopping soon as it has hit triple digits for the last two weeks.......ITS ONLY JUNE!

Movement: Little taps here and there but nothing super consistent.

Looking forward to: My appointment next week! We get to hear babies heartbeat! And of course more movement.

Recap: Here is Emma's 14 Week Update
