how far along: 14 weeks, 3 days
size of the baby: a beet! Or a troll doll, or a mouse!
baby is: growing! I'm getting round ligament pain, which I'm taking as a good sign. Hopefully I'll pop out soon and really look pregnant.
movement: still too early for me. I've heard of people feeling as early as 12 weeks, but I am the rule, not the exception.
gender: not sure yet. Part of me still thinks it's a girl, but the other part is like, Jess, you have no idea.
total weight gain: Not sure? Since my last appointment I had gained 2 pounds. But I don't track myself. I feel bigger though.
symptoms: HUNGER. Oh dear the hunger. I wake up hungry, at 10:30 I'm hungry, at 12:30 I'm hungry, at 2:30 I'm hungry, on and on and on. I can never eat enough to feel hungry for more than 4 hours it seems.
stretch marks: Not that I can see. My larger-ish body is so prepared for this baby!

maternity clothes: None yet. I'd love to buy some maternity leggings, but that's just because my stomach is uncomfortable in the old ones. I have a feeling as soon as I pop, I'll want them no matter what.
sleep: Ah sleep. I love you. I get tired around 5:30-6 now and want to fall asleep on the couch but stop myself. Then by 9pm, I'm ready for sleeping. I usually sleep for 8.5-9 hours at night too.
missing: Nothing at the moment. Just food. I want all the food and I miss it as soon as it's eaten hah.
cravings/aversions: Craving chocolate milk. MMMMM YUM. I drink a large glass of it before I go to sleep at night. It helps me to feel full all night and not wake up with nausea. I'm into Asian food as well right now, I made chicken with cashews last night and it was very good. Something about the tangy sauces, it's not very rich and no cheese (because I miss bleu cheese and feta and brie a lot)
cries: Definitely. I get in these moods and I just have to cry. I'll feel teary and crappy until I let it all out. I also cry at songs and anything to do with a mother's love for a child. I just can't even handle how much I love and worry about my child.
Jesse is: doing well. I'm feeling better so he is being better. He isn't as worried about me and what I'm eating or drinking. Mostly he's worried about finances and making sure we are saving enough.

best moments: Going a couple days without throwing up. My record is 4 so far. Trying to get that number up though. Also, announcing our pregnancy! We took photos with my friend last week and we announced on Saturday. It was so fun and I love all the pictures. I'm just so happy we can finally say it!
not so best moment: Eating too much (as if that's a thing). I sort of gorged myself at Red Lobster last week, think 3 biscuits, salad, coconut shrimp, potatoes. I felt awful the whole night, fell asleep at 9pm and threw up the next morning. I need to eat better than that, and not wait to eat anymore.

looking forward to: Popping out! Getting to wear maternity clothes and meeting my nephew. My sister-in-law is due in a couple weeks and I seriously cannot wait to meet the booger and hold him and imagine the cousins playing together and growing up with each other.
