Baby #5, Week 14


How far along: 14 weeks! Hello, second trimester! Woo hoo!
Weeks to go: 26 weeks
Baby is the size of: a lemon!
Gender Prediction: Boy ...but it will probably be a girl! I've had dreams where Baby was a girl, which I've never had before. With my girls, I had dreams that they were boys... I wonder if that means the opposite is true?! My Nana is convinced that I'm having a boy! Only 26ish weeks until we know for sure! 
Weight gain: 0 lbs this week, 4 lbs total
Starting to show yet?: Oh yes! But there are days when I'm REALLLLY showing and days where I'm barely showing!
Maternity clothes: Yes! Mostly just tops. I can still wear my normal yoga pants, but my maternity shorts and pants are still just a tad too big still. 
Stretch marks: Just a lot of old ones!
Belly button in or out: In. I'm having a lot of hernia pain.
Sleep: Depends on the day, but this past Wednesday night/Thursday morning, Adeline slept for 12 hours and I slept for 11 of them! It was glorious! She slept through the night and woke up to nurse at 5:30. I usually leave her in bed with me at this point. I closed my eyes and then felt her giving me kisses. I looked at the clock and it said 9:30! I panicked and ran downstairs to check on my older girls. They were sitting on the couch quietly watching Netflix. When Caitlin saw me, she said, "It's about time! I'm HUNGRY!"! I was thankful for the blessing of extra sleep and that my older girls were content enough to chill and watch the new season of Ever After High! 
Movement: Yes! Though I don't feel Baby move all the time, I feel movement about twice a day! Except for Saturday when I was eating at Ranchito with friends, Baby started kicking like crazy! I'm excited to start feeling it all the time!
Best moment this week: Making it to all of my workouts! I'm slightly sore, but it feels SO good to be back in my regular routine! I'm nervous about how school starting is going to affect this, but I'm sure it'll be fine! Saturday was an awesome day! I got to help a friend with a photo shoot and spent the entire day with my best friend! I only breastfed Adeline once that day, right before I left at 5:30 a.m.! She breastfed again Sunday morning at 5:00, then not again for the rest of the day! Weaning is actually HAPPENING! I'm so excited!
Worst moment this week: Stressing about school related things for Caity. I am so nervous about her being in a different school and me not being with her on her first day(she'll take the bus to make it to breakfast in time) and I'm kinda freaking out. Caity is my shy/timid girl! I'm so scared that she's going to be scared and cry and that I'm not going to be there to comfort her. It's 100 times worse for me right now since I'll cry about anything and everything. So thinking about this right now has me in tears... I've seriously thought about homeschooling... 
Miss anything: Sushi!
Wedding rings on or off?: On during the day. Off at night.
Cravings: Raisin Nut Bran, Ice Cream Pebbles, Tortilla chips and salsa
Aversions: Nothing this week!
Appetite: Regular! Finally! 
Queasy or sick: I've been having issues with my stomach/bowels. TMI... sorry... but for real. There are moments when my stomach pain is so bad that I cannot function. I'm looking into natural ways to alleviate my pain and help my digestion. I thought about eating Activia yogurt, but I haven't yet. I've also thought about probiotics.
Workouts: Zumba, 30/30, Walking, and Running! It's been fantastic! I finally feel at ease while working out! I'm still tired, and I pee three times during one workout, but I'm feeling good!
Emotionally: Overwhelmed with emotions thinking about the start of school for my oldest two. We're trying to figure stuff out and I have so many questions... but we won't know anything until open house night this coming Monday and that's only two days before schools starts! So last minute! I like having things figured out and planned at least a month in advance. Caity keeps asking me what's going to happen with drop-off and pick-up, and I can't give her an answer yet. I'm keeping positive when she asks so that she doesn't stress about it! She's only six! She doesn't need to worry about this stuff! I, on the other hand, am a freaking mess! GAH! I'm crying, again, thinking about it! Hormones...
Physically: I'm tired, but not exhausted! I'm definitely feeling my second trimester energy burst! It's a glorious thing! I wake up in the morning and I don't feel the need to roll back over and sleep more! I still hit my afternoon lag around 2:30, but I've been reading more and it's keeping me awake! My hernia isn't hurting as bad as it was, thank goodness! I've also noticed that if I sit in one position for too long, my legs and arms tend to fall asleep. So I try not to sit for too long! 
Looking forward to:  My 16 week appointment! Scheduling my 20 week ultrasound! School starting up for my girls(even though I am still super nervous about it all...)! Cleaning my house!
