How far along? 14 weeks, 4 days
Maternity clothes: The same...still trying to stretch out the wardrobe mixing in just a few maternity items at a time
Stretch marks: Still good!
Sleep: Let me repeat this....I NEED A BODY PILLOW!!! Tossing and turning is the worst.
Best moment this week: Getting a present in the mail for baby. Everything is starting to make this all feel a little more "real"
Miss Anything: Going a day without having a headache or getting extremely tired.
Movement: Seriously...can't wait! Nothing yet...still too early.
Symptoms: Dizziness...and it's not a comforting feeling at all. I'll just be sitting at my desk, and the room will start spinning. My hair feels a little bit stronger (not necessarily thicker though) than before too, which is a plus!
Food cravings: Happy hour frappacinos at Starbucks has been amazing this week!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still just the usual. There are some things Daniel will mention for dinner that make my stomach turn, which is a shame, because usually everything sounds good!
Have you started to show yet: Yes, especially at the end of the day. It's funny, because in the mornings, my stomach is significantly smaller...and we always take the picture at night, which makes me look a lot bigger than I really am!
Gender: No idea yet...but only another month to wait anxiously!
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out?: In as ever.
Wedding rigns on or off: Still on. But I've decided when I do get too swollen, I'm going to finally send them off to get retouched, redipped and shined to perfection for after the birth. I've been meaning to since our one-year anniversary, but hated the thought of being without them.

General Mood: Good. Daniel is doing an excellent job of making me laugh...we've shared more belly laughs the past few weeks than we ever have.
Best advice this week: After the baby, you still have to take time for yourselves as a couple. Get a sitter, take date nights, even just going for a walk to reconnect.
Worst advice this week: Not really bad advice, just a little out of reach. Someone told me my job is too stressful to handle pregnancy, and that I should cut back or figure something else out because it will raise my blood pressure to a scary level and be bad for me and the baby.
Exercise: Does walking to Farmer's Market count? Just kidding...I've been doing my stretches and hope to start lifting more weights this weekend when we hit 15 weeks.
Looking forward to: Our 16 week appointment next week. We keep praying we hear a healthy heart beat and don't have a repeat of the last appointment.
