14 Weeks

 

 

Here are some 14 week pictures.  I have really noticed a difference this past week.  That little orange sized peanut of a baby is really doing a number on my wardrobe.  I can no longer hold my pants together with a ponytail holder.....I have upgraded to belly band!!  I wore it for the first time to work on Monday and it was so comfortable!!  Definitely better than a tight waistband :) 


Also this week we have made two baby advances:  we have bought a crib (at a discount....yay!) and pretty much nailed down daycare.  Two huge things off our list...what a relief!  We are still waiting to hear from Ms. Lea (a lady about a mile away who has an in-home daycare) but she sounded pretty certain she would take our little one in when it arrives. 


Also this week I have migrated to the thought that we are having a boy.  I find myself calling it "he" or "him" and Brian is very adamant that I need to refer to it as "it".  I'm trying but it's hard.  So my guess is that is it probably a girl :)  Our Bible study group calls the baby "Zephyr" and my co-workers call it "Ernie"  Grandpa Kent has affectionately named it "Roger".  It is safe to say we will not be using any of those names!! 

I am still feeling much better...I think it is safe to say that I am out of the morning sickness zone.  I dominated the Pizza Ranch buffet on Monday and so I feel like I can handle anything now!  I can definitely eat more than I used to be able to!  I went with my co-workers and they were astonished at how much I could eat....and the dessert pizza was so delicious that day!!  I am feeling my energy come back so that is also refreshing.  I am starting to read the book "Happiest Baby on the Block" and it makes me happy, excited, nervous and scared all at the same time.  But I feel as if I should be able to calm our child....I've actually learned quite a bit reading that book. 

Now time for a bowl of ice cream :)
