Pregnancy...

How Far Along: 14 Weeks (yesterday)!

Size of baby: about the size of a lemon

Total Weight Gain: 2 pounds..still. But somehow my body is expanding.

Maternity Clothes: Not yet but I've been living in sundresses because my jeans and shorts aren't cutting it!! But, I'm am most definitely hoping to get this soon...

Gender: We find out the week of May 9...Way too long from now!

Movement: From what they tell me, the baby is a wiggle worm at this point but I'm not feeling anything.

Sleep: I am sleeping much, much better! Thank goodness! I think finally being able to work out again contributes to that, though.

What I miss: Sleeping on my back and belly.

Cravings: Still fruit! Oranges, watermelon, apples, grapes.

Symptoms: Guess what...No more morning sickness!! I have been getting what my doctor called round ligament pains but it's not bad at all.

OH, and crazy hormones! Remember when your parents would make you clean the bathroom? Well, yesterday I cried because I COULDN'T clean the bathroom and B was out of town. Seriously?!

What I’m looking forward to:
Finding out what we're having. Boy or girl, I really don't care, I just want to know! My next ultrasound.

No sex for a year!!!

Friday I had a baby check up appointment with my new doctor. I really like her more every visit. And so does B. While at the appointment I presented her with a list of questions that I had written out like I do prior to every appointment.

I mentioned to her that a very good friend of mine has a son nearing 2 years and she told me that after he was born, it was nearly a year before she could comfortably have sex again. I simply asked if this was normal.

Her exact response:

"The vagina was made for the penis. If you can't have sex comfortably, there is something wrong and you need to come in."

Oh. My. Goodness! I laughed so hard I was in tears. It's obviously the most uncomfortable place in the world, and I swear that was the most awkward conversation!! B thought it was so funny and as we left the drs office, he said to me, "Man, I knew I liked her!"

Oh goodness.

I also wanted to share this with you all. One of the ladies at church gave me this slip of paper on Sunday morning at church. It was a perfect little God wink.

Who says chop sticks are for sushi?

Staying home this weekend paid off! I was so very sad to miss the get together my college girls were having but I'm battling on heck of a kidney stone on top of my morning sickness. Which, have I mentioned the term "morning sickness" is about as big of a lie as "spring" and "fall" are in the great state of Texas. Needless to say, I was head-in-the-trash-can-kinda-sick all weekend! Luckily, things are looking up today.

I have two interviews for a couple of articles I'm writing today so I'm glad to finally be working again! I hate when I have slumps and would prefer to work constantly. I am also in the process of taking over the editor job of the newsletter for my chapter of Junior League. While I'm thrilled to pieces, there is so much work that goes into transferring the job that it's become a pain the size of...well...a kidney stone. :)

Last weekend we out to celebrate my sister's 30th birthday! They had sushi, her fave, I had chicken from the hibachi (gross), and dear nephew had McDonald's. We go to this restaurant so often that the owners let my sister bring in food for her boys. Isn't that sweet? Well, my oldest nephew didn't want to be left out of the chop stick gang.

Poor quality, thank, iPhone. I need to get in a better habit of carrying one of my three cameras around before my little flicker gets here in October!

He kept saying, "Aunt Sissy, want a nugget?" Haha, yes, they call me Sissy. And I answer.

Happy Monday, friends!
