Baby Floris: 14 Weeks
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend, and that those of you who got hit by the blizzard were able to at least have a little fun in the snow. 😉
My weekend was pretty exciting and full of fun friend activities…
Dinner with my SIL and her roommate on Friday night, a trip to the dog park with my friend on Saturday morning, and watching the Patriots game ( 🙁 ) with my aunt, uncle and cousins on Sunday! Since the Pats game was so depressing here’s a pic of some happy pups on the way to the park!
This weekend Baby Floris and I hit a big milestone –> we are now officially in the second trimester! 😀 Here’s what the little one and I have been up to this week.
WHAT’S BABY FLORIS UP TO?
According to The Bump, Baby Floris is about the size of a lemon!
He/she is about 3.4 inches long and weighs approximately 1.5 oz. That’s almost double the size of last week!
His/her kidneys are making urine, and their liver and spleen are doing their job.
Baby still has lanugo, a thin, peach-fuzz-like hair all over their body to help keep it warm.
WEIGHT GAINED
I didn’t weigh myself this week, but I’m sure that I’m up a pound or so from last week.
WORKOUTS
Until my attempted long run on Sunday my workouts went great. I’m still just running 4 times a week and biking on the other days. You can read my full training summary here.
SYMPTOMS
this week is probably the best that I’ve felt since my 6th week. The only symptoms I’ve had are constant thirst, burping, a sore back and a little round ligament pain. Pretty good after all the rough nausea I had for a few weeks there!
MOVEMENT
Nope, but it’s only a few weeks away – I’m so excited!
FOOD AVERSIONS
Sweets, some fruits, veggies and ice cream. 🙁 all things I usually LOVE!
FOOD CRAVINGS
Everything salty!! –> Potato chips, tortilla chips, Firehouse sub sandwiches, Trader Joe’s Naan and most of all a big juicy burger with fries which I got to fulfill on Friday night at Eureka Burger!
SLEEP
I always struggle with sleep when Henri is gone and this past week hasn’t been any different. I’ve let the pups sleep with me a few nights and it really helps. Another thing really helping on the sleep front is my Snoogle – the back support is amazing!
MATERNITY CLOTHES
Not yet!
STRETCH MARKS
Nope.
MISS ANYTHING?
Luckily, my midwife doesn’t suggest restricting too many things while pregnant so I’m allowed to have the occasional runny eggs, cold cut sandwich or sushi and am still allowed to workout as I did before so there’s not much to miss right now. 🙂
BELLY BUTTON IN OR OUT?
I’m still holding onto my innie/outie but now it’s almost flat.
BABY ITEMS PURCHASED
I didn’t buy anything but my aunt gave me the bassinet that she used for all of my cousins. How cute is this??
GENDER SUSPICIONS
I’ve thought boy from the beginning and now a few things have made me even more certain – my growing belly is pretty low and all of my cravings are for salty, savory foods!
FAVORITE MOMENT OF THE WEEK
Having a Facetime chat with Henri about possible baby names, even though we don’t know if it’s a boy or girl yet I just love thinking of all the names that we could give our little one. 🙂
LOOKING FORWARD TO
It’s a few weeks away but I’m already looking forward to finding out Baby Floris’s gender at my anatomy scan!!! I can’t wait to start buying up ALL the baby things for our little boy or girl!
