14 weeks and going strong!

Today was my last day of work for the school year! Yay! I still have a few trainings to attend this summer, but overall we are planning on spending the next few months sleeping in, swimming, shopping, and having as much fun as possible. 

I'm really starting to feel a lot better too- just in time to enjoy summer! I'm not as tired and I'm starting to get my appetite back. I guess this is probably why people say the 2nd trimester is the best!

We had a 14 week appointment with the doctor this week. It was short & sweet. This was my first appointment with my actual doctor. We chatted for a couple minutes and then she used the Doppler to find the baby's heartbeat- which was 160 bpm. We set up my next appointment, which will include a sonogram, and that was it! The appointment is scheduled for June 16th and we should know whether to buy blue or more pink!

14 weeks!!!

Reese just had to get in the picture too. Funny because hasn't really been into picture taking lately. Unless she is naked with one bow missing...

Reese loves our bathtub in the master bathroom. Here she is resting while I was getting ready for work.

And here she is playing dinosaurs in the tub.

Biggest Cravings: Oreos, fruit, Panera salad, French Fries
Biggest Food Aversions:  Still not loving meat, but it's starting to taste better these days.
Clothes: I did have to try the hair tie trick to fit into my regular pants this week. But, I made it to summer, so my wardrobe is mainly shorts & t-shirts for the next 2 months. Thank goodness!
Body:  I slept wrong the other night and woke up with a sore back, but it went away in a couple days. Other than that, I'm doing great!
Energy/Mood: Much better!!! I'm a tad more emotional than normal, but I'm feeling excited that my energy has picked up.
Movement: I have felt a few flutters these last couple weeks! Sometimes when I'm laying in bed, I swear I feel a deliberate little nudge that feels like a baby kick, but nothing big yet.
Sleep: Great! No complaints!

Best Moment this week: Hearing that sweet little thumping heartbeat :-)

Miss Anything?  I usually use nap time to get things done around the house, but lately I've been using it to take my own naps. Hoping to have that productive time again soon.
Looking forward to: SUMMER with Reese! This will be our last summer as just the two of us, so I'm trying to make the most of our time together!

 

We are very excited for this new journey! We are definitely looking forward to a somewhat relaxing and rejuvenating summer!
