{ Easy as Pie.... mmmmmm }

14 weeks and growing!  This week has been by far the best week since we found out we were expecting!  Energy levels back up and feeling really good.  Getting my gym routine back and not feeling quite so moody and grumpy!

We've got a couple more weeks before we find out the gender!  I had a dream last night that the doc emailed me and said it was a boy! I remember in my dream contemplating whether or not to tell my Mister that the doc told me that it was a boy.  Our appointment to find out the gender is in Bloomington on the 15th of December and i was really looking forward to the trip up there to find out gender and then to shop!  So in my dream, i thought "i'll just not tell him so we can still go up there and i can go shopping!" ha!  Funny pregnancy dreams :)

I'm doing some shopping with some other pregnant friends tonight!  Really looking forward to that!  Cute comfy clothes and the food court --- does it get much better than that!?

Only real complaint I have from this past week is the out of control headaches i've been having lately.  They last a couple days and are not fun at all.  Any recommendations besides, cold compress and oils are welcome! I can't take the good stuff!  Although, i did get some oil from Aveda that seems to have helped quite a bit, but still doesn't compare to just having a good old Diet Dew --- don't judge me. I like the diet dew :)

What's baby up to this week?
This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.

Here are some shots from this morning that i know some of you are just dying to see... or... not so much!

Tyson's face is priceless :)

And he's over it.... 

Pregnancy Questionnaire:

Total weight gain/loss: Not sure, haven’t had the guts to step on the scale since the first appointment! J

Maternity clothes? LIVE IN THEM!!!

Stretch marks? None yet --- fingers crossed it stays that way!

Sleep: OMG! So much better!  Only a few pottie breaks but that’s it!

Best moment this week: Sending a pic of my bump to AJ and him writing back “hey kiddo!”  just cute!

Movement: None yet, lots of times just lying there hoping I’ll feel something.

Food cravings: Actually wanting more healthy stuff lately, but have had a weird craving for meat when I’m not a big meat eater normally.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still not a fan of the smell of coconut

Have you started to show yet: YES! I don’t care how many of you say “oh come on, that’s nothing, I look like that when I’m bloated!” --- I’M SHOWING DANG IT! Ha!

Gender prediction: I was thinking for the longest time that it was a girl.  But now I’m really leaning hard towards boy.  J These meat cravings, the fact that I didn’t get all that sick the first trimester, and I had a dream that my doc emailed me and said it was a boy :)

Belly Button in or out? Still in

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: A lot HAPPIER now :) Energy back and feeling good!

Weekly Wisdom: Take lots of time to get up walk around.  Find myself sitting at my desk for too long without standing up to walk around and keep the blood flowing :)

Have a great week everyone!!  -- Until next week.... 

My baby he'll always be!!
