Hi!
We are almost caught up on my updates. I have officially entered the second trimester. Yay!!!
I did a comparison picture from 14 weeks with Sage and 14 weeks now.
Onto the update...

Weeks: 14 weeks (and one day)
Total Weight
Gain: 5 pounds
Body: I’ve got a little bump and now
that I’ve entered the second trimester I am feeling so much better. Not
really nauseous anymore, but I need to eat often. I have low blood sugar
(not something new) and especially with pregnancy I need to pay special
attention to it and eat every two hours.
Clothes: I wear all maternity pants because
they rock. Elastic waist jeans, you’re amazing. With my first
pregnancy, I tried to wear my normal pants as long as possible, but with this
one the maternity pants were waiting in the closet so I jumped right in a few
weeks ago. I can still wear many of my tops, but once again the pregnancy
tanks and tee-shirts are just so comfy. Do you sense my theme of wearing
what is comfortable?
Cravings: I still love all the carbs, but
other food is much more appealing now. I’m making a point to eat more
fruits and vegetables, but bagels, pasta and bread are still my food of choice.
I opt for whole wheat pasta and sprouted wheat bread, so that makes me feel a
bit better about it. I have been loving tofu too.
Sleep: I’ve been staying awake a little
later, and by that I mean like 9:30pm at the latest. I still fall asleep
to pretty much every TV show we watch before bed, but I’m not as tired when I
get up at 6am the next morning. Overall, I’ve just felt more
rested. Sage even has been sleeping in later (until 7am sometimes!) and
that is incredible.
Best
Moment(s): Hearing
the baby’s heartbeat today!! Also, I found out we find out the gender at
20 weeks. Woohoo!
Goals: Eat more vegetables and start
making breakfast shakes again.
Other: I want to mention that my husband
and I came down with a horrible stomach bug (or it could have been food
poisoning) on Sunday night (for him) and Monday morning (for me). Monday
was brutal. I’m lucky I could keep down sprite and Gatorade and I had
some crackers with peanut butter. It was a nasty thing. Sadly the
last thing we had before getting sick was Chipotle and now I’m not sure I’ll
ever be able to have it again. Bad association. My dad saved the
day by coming to our house and playing with Sage for a few hours just so we
could rest. Having a stomach bug and caring for a toddler is downright
HARD. Anyways, we are feeling much better now and I’m grateful for that!
Great update - and glad you're feeling better! We had the stomach bug roll through, and I am lucky to have a strong system (so I basically feel crappy for a few hours) but Lisa was taken down *hard* ... no raviolis or red-sauce centric foods for her anytime soon!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely remember seeing the difference first to second pregnancy with Lisa (our boys are 17 months apart), not sure how much is related to wearing maternity clothes versus actual body changes ...
... but I did have to laugh in the comparison pictures how the first pregnancy picture is all put together and posed and so on ... and the second one there is loads of Sage's stuff and it is full-on 'real life mom' :D
