Week 14

Greetings friends and family! Welcome to our blog. I wanted a place to keep the important people in our lives updated on our little peanut. Also, I just wanted to be able to write about my experience as a mama kangaroo. :)

My first trimester was pretty uneventful as far as physical symptoms. I never got sick, and the only thing that was really overwhelming at times was the fatigue. At exactly 13 weeks, the mark of my second trimester, my fatigue lifted. I felt soooo good, like I was emerging from hibernation. I was also introduced to my first pregnancy pains. I hear they are called round ligament pains, and they are really unpleasant. A cross between a cramp and a tummy ache. OW. At the same exact time, I felt less "fat" or bloated, and my baby bump showed poked out. This is not going to shock anyone, but I am really excited about my bump, and I'm not one of those mom's trying to hide it.

Today marks week 14. One of my favorite things to do each Monday is to see what food item is the same size as baby. Today baby is the size of a lemon! It seems like yesterday that he/she was only a lentil bean. :) Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy these little updates!
