Bumpdate - 14 Weeks

Well, I'm BACK home! Back from the lovely beach vacation I was enjoying. I couldn't tell you the last time any of us could remember the water being as clear and calm as it was this past week. There was no seaweed or particles in the water. It was almost as if we were in a pool with small waves.

This was my week...

Ahhh.. how nice and relaxing huh? Lots of sun in the fun with all my family. We had a blast. We rented a couple pontoon boats and headed to Crab Island for the day one day, the boys went deep sea fishing and golfing, enjoyed some yummy BBQ cooked by my parents and freshly catch red snapper from their fishing trip on the 4th, and many days just hanging out on the beach.

It was fantastic and greatly appreciated as the next 3 weeks are going to be CRAZY busy with a full schedule of camps and lots of projects to wrap up my degree.

Here's the update...

• How far along? 14 weeks 2 days 

• Total weight gain: I'll let you know after my doctor's appointment on July 20th. 

• Maternity clothes? not yet. I wore dresses at the beach all week. I wouldn't even touch the shorts as I knew it would be uncomfortable. 

• Stretch marks? None yet, my belly button itches the most. 

• Sleep: still good, I've actually only gotten up once a night the past couple of nights. Yay! 

• Best moment this week:  My wonderful vacation with my family. It was so good to see everyone and spend the week with them all. Some were local, from Montgomery, New Orleans, and even Canada. :) I even felt great the entire week so that was awesome. 

• Miss anything? It sure would have been nice to have a beer or two this past week but I made due with my virgin daiquiri that Denny made me! :) It was yummy and I felt like a little kid again. 

• Movement: None yet... but I can definitely say that I'm growing a belly. After being in a bikini (the same one all week because it was the only one that still fit up top...Ha) all week, I definitely felt like I had a tummy that I didn't use to have. 

• Food cravings:  umm.. none really. I kinda think cravings are mental. Yelp, I said it. Everyone has cravings, it is just pregnancy gives us an excuse. 

• Food aversions: lettuce sometimes. I also had a lot of seafood type dishes and am seafooded out. Ha! 

• Gender: not yet. We have our Gender appointment August 3rd.

• Labor signs: Oh no. 

• Symptoms: my tailbone hurts every now and again and man, I've had some mood swings. Those are annoying. 

• Belly Button in or out? way in, like normal.

• Wedding rings on or off? On.

• Baby Purchases this week? We have started our diaper and wipes collection trying to use coupons and catch the sales... bought some more today! 

• Looking forward to:  finding out if we are having a boy or girl... I'm getting antsy and want to buy stuff. I'm also looking forward to August 2nd. I will have made it through my class and through camps successfully. That means all my focus can be on baby... well not all because season starts just shortly after August begins. 

Hope you enjoyed!!
