How far along? 14 weeks today!

Total weight gain: 4 pounds

Maternity clothes? transitioning into the pants but I am using the belly band for my regular pants

Stretch marks? Nothing yet

Sleep: Lots of sleep but craaaaaaaaaaaaaazy dreams!

Best moment this week: Having the energy to exercise again!

Miss Anything? Sushi (uni and negitoro to be exact)

Food cravings: Nothing in particular

Anything making you queasy or sick: cooking onions

Symptoms: fatigue in the end of the day and slight nausea

Looking forward to: hmmm, nothing really, I am just enjoying regaining my energy again!

I had a doctors appt. on Thursday and we saw baby with a healthy heartbeat of 151--I figured out my doctor is ultrasound-happy and pretty much does a quick one at most appointments. I'll take it! We will have our NT scan either this week or early the following week.

Oh and I bought a pair of maternity shorts and maternity dress capris today. My dress pants still fit with the belly band, but the capris were on sale and super cute so I picked them up. I live in Texas where it's already in the 90's and my jeans & capris are too tight and wearing the bella band with jeans is uncomfortable for me. So now I own one pair of shorts that I'll probably wear every weekend, all weekend

@kml636: hugggs hang in there! i've def had more than one day of random panic attacks. it wasn't a full on panic attack today, but i questioned my lack of symptoms for a brief second today.

i also remember early on in the pregnancy, waking up in the middle of the night on a girls wknd trip with my bests... freaking out that something was wrong and not being able to fall back asleep.

@kml636: yes, i've felt that way in the last couple of days because i felt like my belly wasn't growing and i haven't been ravenously hungry. so i scared myself by looking up how things can go wrong at 15 weeks on the internet and my husband had to tell me to stop. my next appt isn't for 2 weeks and i was thinking about buying a doppler too!

@mrsjyw: You know, I wonder if I'm having something similar going on. Lately I've been feeling like I have to go pee SO BAD, and then once I get in there, it is this sad little trickle.

@mrsjyw: hope you get some relief!

@kml636: thank you!!

@highwire: yep, I was cramping/#2 hurting a lot the past week I should just email you my weekly symptoms, so you get a preview of what's to come!

@highwire: off tangent question, but when were you planning on blog annoucing? i was going to wait until our next checkup after 14w, but now that im going in this afternoon, i might just bite the bullet this week!

@highwire: seriously DD TWINS! Yea, I just told my work last week, we've told our families and I think I've told most of my close friends... I guess we'll see if I have energy for rearranging blog posts after the doc appt today!

Quick update my due date twins!

I'm glad I went in today, found out no UTI, but he's having it cultured just in case... I actually found out I'm dehydrated

But no weight gain since last appt 3 weeks ago...

And I'm really glad I went in because I found that my next week check-up is TOO soon for my 2nd round blood tests! The office mixed up my dates, so thankfully I was able to save DH and I a trip to the dr. My next check up is now June 5th (16w2d)... and then the one after that will be our anatomy scan!!

@mrsjyw: So glad to hear all is well. How did they determine you are dehydrated? I've been battling dehydration too because pushing too many fluids makes me really nauseated!

@mrsjyw: Interesting! I had urinalysis when I was in last Wednesday so I guess if they didn't say anything to me then the dehydration is under control. Thanks!

@ChelseaRose: I get terrible nausea right before I sneeze too!! I'm always so nervous that I'm going to puke a little when the sneeze comes out.

How far along? 12 Weeks 3 Days

Total weight gain: Stepped on the scale at the doctors office. Up less than 1 pound. Very happy about this. I was overweight to begin with and am only supposed to gain 15-25 lbs tops.

Maternity clothes? Oh yes. Since week 7. I have no shame. Hoping to start getting some more use out of the tops (which have been too big). Bottoms are in use daily.

Stretch marks? Found a big one this week. Sad. I'm sure the rest of his buddies are gearing up to show soon, too.

Sleep: Better. Staying asleep most of the night. Not having to get up to pee as often.

Best moment this week: Got showered with love from my family on mother's day. Totally unexpected!

Miss Anything? Not having to take pills. I have to take Vitamin D once a week and a prenatal daily. I hate taking pills!

Food cravings: Finally getting back into meats and exotic flavors.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing in particular. But still having random bouts of nausea/indigestion.

Symptoms: Still rolling with fatigue and nausea, but they are continuing to become less and less frequent.

Looking forward to: Our NT scan next week, where we get to have an extended ultrasound on a super high-tech machine!

@ChelseaRose: okay thanks so much! I'm 14 weeks today!

I don't have a bump at all. One of my coworkers is due about 2.5 weeks before me and had a visible bump at 14 weeks. She was underweight and had already gained 15 pounds.

@ksnow: not yet, I'm just past 13w and have a lower belly pooch by day's end, but no bump yet

I spilled the beans all over the place on Mother's Day---FB, blog, twitter...it's out there now! I told a few more people at work yesterday and I know the news is spreading because I had a few people come and congratulate me today.

@KLM...I have the sonoline b too and I have a hard time picking up the heartbeat (I'm 12w1d and not overweight). I try every few days and sometimes hear it, and sometimes no luck. I tried it about an hour ago and found a thumping little heartbeat at 150 without even trying. I had tried this morning and couldn't find a thing. Luckily I am feeling pretty good about things at this point so I don't really worry myself, but be careful with the doppler if you're a worrier. No need to cause yourself unnecessary stress!

@ksnow: i have a little one, but not noticeable to anyone at work yet. i still fit into my regular clothes. definitely grows throughout the day and is much bigger at night. i am 15w5d today and hoping to hide it for another week or two =/

@MamaMoose: I'm having some weird cramping in my hip area (mostly the left side) and occasionally it radiates into my legs and back. It comes and goes....I'm wondering if this is the start of round ligament pain.

I'll be 13 weeks on Monday and our NT scan is on Tuesday.

My stomach feels like it's growing a little bit every day. I'm excited to see it get a little rounder, rather than just looking like I ate one too many oreos.
