14 Weeks

Notice someone extra in my picture this week? Kyle was snapping my picture this week and Adelyn noticed what we were doing and ran over, stood next to meet & smiled big! It was so cute and we got a good laugh out of it! Sometimes it just amazes me how smart she is!

How Far Along: 14 weeks, 5 days {9.11.12}

Size of baby: Baby Bangert #2 is the size of a lemon

Heartbeat: 160bpm at 12 week appointment

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +7lbs

Maternity Clothes:  I’ve started to do the rubber trick on my work pants. I’ve been wearing maternity jeans for a few weeks, they are just so much more comfortable! I’m still wearing regular shirts though.

Gender Predictions: Since the beginning of this pregnancy has been so different, it makes me wonder if it’s a boy this time around. We’ll find out in October!

Movement: Just a few flutters every now & then, nothing too consistent.

Sleep: I’m sleeping great…once I get my pillow situated! I like to have one between my knees and hug another one.

What I miss: When everything in my closet used to fit me! Getting ready in the mornings can be frustrating. I need to pick out my clothes for the week on Sundays, so there’s no question in the mornings.

Cravings: Anything salty!

Symptoms: The main thing is tiredness. I was hoping this would go away since I’m in the 2nd trimester now, but nope! 8pm rolls around and I’m ready for bed! I’ve started a routine of falling asleep on the couch between 8pm-9pm and then Kyle wakes me up when he goes to bed around 10:30pm. It has actually worked out really well ‘cause then I get another potty break and don’t have to get up in the night to go.

Best Moment this week: We began sharing the news with the rest of the world during weeks 13 & 14. We told close friends and people at work and then then around the 1st of September we posted it on our blog & facebook!
