14 Weeks

I can hardly believe how fast the weeks are flying by!!  Whoever created this fruit analogy must not be from the South because a Georgia peach is definitely larger than a lemon!  ;)  But nonetheless, this week, the baby is supposedly the size of a lemon.  I, of course, had to give a shout out in this weeks board to one of the most amazing products that a lemon can create...Toomer's Corner fresh-squeezed lemonade!!  WAR EAGLE!!  Can't wait to take Baby Blackman there someday!  :)

 

How far along? 14 weeks
Maternity clothes?  Starting to mix some in with regular clothes.  The dress in the picture is maternity.  SOOO ready for cooler Fall weather...sweaters, leggings, boots, oh my!
Stretch marks? Not yet, thank goodness!
Sleep:  Sleeping pretty well...aside from the few times I have to get up to relieve the bladder.  I've also been going to a chiropractor for migraine and neck/back relief and I think that's been contributing to more peaceful nights as well.

Best moment this week:  Returning home after a week in Boston away from Brad.  I think our little lemon even missed him.  :)

Miss Anything?  WINE...nope, still not over it yet.  ;)
Movement:  Small flutters still...nothing major.

Food cravings:  Still on the dairy kick.  Other than that, appetite's starting to get back to normal.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nope.

Have you started to show yet:  I believe the little bump is starting to grow.

Gender prediction:  Still unsure...but SOOO ready to know!!!

Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On, but feeling a little tight at times.
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Definitely happy most of the time.

Looking forward to:  Finding out if Baby Blackman is a boy or girl...27 days, but who's counting??  ;)

How far along? 13 weeks
Maternity clothes?  Officially wore a pair of maternity jeans for the first time since we're having our first 'cool front' of the Fall.  They're the cute Gap style I wear normally, but with a stretchy waist.  LOVE them!!  They're SO super comfy!!
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep:  Still waking up 2-3 times to make the potty runs.  Ready for that to be over...
Best moment this week: Feeling the babe for the first time!  I'm 99.9% sure I'm feeling it kick.
Miss Anything?  Have I mentioned wine?  Football season isn't nearly as fun without wine...especially when your team is performing like an amateur high school team.  :( ...will ALWAYS love my Tigers, just a little frustrated.
Movement:  Sure thing!  A few flutters here and there - particularly when I'm hungry it seems.  Can't wait to feel bigger movements down the road.
Food cravings:  Mostly sweet things...dairy, chicken salad, and sugary cereal...this week's 'flavor of the week' is Apple Jacks.  :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really into chicken or eggs.  Had salmon for the 1st time since being pregnant and actually enjoyed it!
Have you started to show yet:  I'm feeling and thinking so... 
Gender prediction:  Really not sure anymore...can't wait to find out!!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy!!  Brad says I've done a great job 'keeping my hormones in check' thus far.  LOL  I'll try to keep it that way...
Looking forward to:  Finding out if we're having a boy or girl so we can start thinking of names, decorating the nursery, and SHOPPING!!!  =)
