Whats been happening: Mini me is just over 14 weeks 3 days today and he/ she is about the size of a lemon (70gms). He/ she has been hard at work this week growing up a storm. The eyebrows/ hair on top of the head are beginning to grow through now and the fetus can also now make facial expressions like squinting, frowning and grimacing. For me this week, I have been experiencing pretty severe cramps due to ligaments stretching, and also I have had the pleasure of consistent heartburn & headaches... Not cool. I didn't get either of those with my first pregnancy so they're not exactly a welcome symptom.
Weight gained: I'm not actually going off scales this time around so I wouldn't know how much I have gained thus far. Not a lot I wouldn't think though, all my clothes still fit nicely and the bump is still minimal.
Workouts: So far this week I've only managed one big walk, and one at home workout. However, I do plan on walking again today if this rain ever settles and possibly even getting to the gym tomorrow (don't hold me to that I'm still in holiday mode)
Movement: When I go to bed and lay really still I can definitely feel the little tyke wriggling, only briefly though. I think the real movement will begin in a couple more weeks.
Food Aversions: Mince (much to Oli's dismay)
Food cravings: Cheesymite scrolls, licorice
Sleep: This depends on B at the moment, she's still a bit out of whack from the trip so we've been having some early mornings lately which leave me pretty exhausted come the afternoon, but nothing to complain about really..
Miss anything: A glass of red would be nice
Fun/ interesting things for the week: Nothing really since the scan, although we were accepted into the homebirth program we recently learnt (woohoo) and we meet our new midwife on Oct 1st, which I'm hanging out for.
Happy or moody: Happy this week, happy but tired.
New baby items: Not a thing since we found out. I think with number two its a bit different, we feel like we have everything good to go already (minus clothes), but we won't be finding out the sex this time either so we probably won't be buying a lot of anything until the week it arrives! Luckily this one is coming in one of the hottest Perth months of the year (March) so it will be a nudist for the first month of its life anyway.
Looking forward to: Movement! The anatomy scan, having a real bump and meeting the midwife!
Bump update: Here is the first "bump" pic. As you can see I'm still in the awkward, "I look like I ate too much" phase. Its not really anything significant yet but it is definitely starting to protrude more by the week.
**Excuse the awkward pic with Oli lazing in the background amongst piles of clothes... holiday mode.
Until next week!
