Bump Watch '09

14 weeks
When I was pregnant with Johnnie, I didn't take any pictures of myself, didn't like it when people took pictures of me, and generally didn't keep track of my progress. I remember a lot of things but I didn't write anything down or do anything special. With a new year and a new baby (and a new camera!) I wanted to at least make an effort this time around. Haha.

I went to the doctor last week and they changed my due date to July 2nd. It was July 9th which I liked because that was Johnnie's due date. Oh well, I'm sure I'll be happy in the end when I'm counting down the days and hours and minutes until I deliver. I have an ultrasound scheduled for the 22nd and I cannot wait until I find out what we're having. We want a girl really badly but a boy would be great, too. I'd be so outnumbered though!

So here I am at 14 weeks along:

Morning Sickness: Absolutely none until the past couple weeks or so. Its not really bad, just a little queasy here and there. Don't really know what's going on. I didn't have morning sickness with Johnnie, just a little nauseous in the mornings and that was only during the first trimester.

Cravings: Candy, Cookies, and Seafood. Right now I really want crab salad. And, sushi even though I've never had anything besides a California roll. Weird. For the most part I just crave what other people are eating. The other day Johnnie and I were watching Bee Movie and they were eating guacamole and I wanted it REALLY badly. So badly that I was hunting down a good guacamole recipe so I could make it.

Aversions: Sub sandwiches. The thought of a tuna melt makes my eyes water.

Weight Gain: I wont go into specifics, but I was showing right away with this baby. I found out when I was about 5 weeks along and I was so bloated already that there was a bunch of work clothes that I couldn't wear. Now, I'm down to about 3 pairs of slacks so I desperately need to go maternity work clothes shopping. I'm starting to get into the phase now where I actually look pregnant and not just fat and lumpy. I hate the fat lumpy stage.

Oddities: Being braindead is the biggest thing. I had to tell my boss's at work that I was pregnant around only 7 weeks because I kept making dumb, stupid mistakes that I made only when I was brand new. Except for now. I've also been having headaches and my face is breaking out. The other day I found my very first back pimple. I almost cried and made Jeff pop it. He wasn't too happy about that but neither was I. He'll live.

Ha Ha, Maria, you will live. Enjoy yourself,eat what you want and dont worry about weight gain. They say the easiest time to losing weight is right after you have a baby.

Oh my gosh. You are describing my current pregnancy to a T. I'm having a girl so hopefully that means you are too. I always crave sushi while pregnant (probably just because it's my fave food and I can't have it while pregnant due to high mercury levels) and I did show to past 22 weeks with both boys and was already sporting a bump around 10 with this baby.

I hope you have a girl - buying pink has been so much fun! We are naming our little bundle Ava Lynn (and in case you were wondering, she was a surprise and she'll be our last - haha)! Do you have any names picked out?
