14 weeks pregnant

Second trimester, here I am!

My body: This has been the biggest week of changes for my body...I am showing now and not just a little bit:) It is unbelievable to both my husband and I how this time last week there was the tiniest hint of a pregnant belly, but now there is no denying I am full-fledged preggo! As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words."
In other news...this week was exhausting. I attribute most of the exhaustion to the fact that I had been off work for 3 weeks (more or less) and was trying to get back into a routine. I realize though that it was in part because a baby is forming inside my belly:)

The baby:
Length- 3.5 inches...tripled in size from 3 weeks ago (wow!)
Size- About the size of a flip phone
Weight- 1 ounce
Interesting fact- The baby now has fingerprints and is gaining control of voluntary movements.

This baby is worth the sacrifice, but there are a few things I really miss...
1. Coffee- mmmmm. Nearly every morning, I wake to the smell of coffee being made by my husband. This makes for cruel and usual punishment for a pregnant woman choosing to forgo caffeine during pregnancy:( I am sure you want to tell me that small amounts of caffeine will not have any effect on me or the baby, but I have decided to avoid caffeine as best I can
2. Subway/Quiznos, etc.. Packing a lunch for work is a lot more difficult when lunchmeat is off the menu!
Those are the top two.

Sweet story: A couple of nights ago, as I slept, my husband had his hand on my belly (unbeknownst to me.) The next morning he told me he thought he felt the baby move and was thrilled. He waited and waited for it to happen again, but it was a one-time shot. There is no way of telling if that is actually what he felt, but I believe that anything is possible. We are so excited for when this little guy or girl starts to really make themselves known by his/her movements!
