14 Weeks

Well hello second trimester! It felt like forever for you to get here :)

My first trimester was a little rough on me. Lots of morning sickness, although not sure why its called morning when its all day long! Fatigueness really took me by surprise to. I just took it easy with naps often and ate whatever I could keep down. The baby is in charge now!

This week brought on a new milestone, running again! With as sick as I have been running has taken a backseat for a little while. And if you know me, that has been kind of a bummer! I was feeling pretty good this week so laced up my shoes and went out for a nice and easy 3 mile run/walk. Its crazy how fast you lose your fitness, but I was just happy to be out there with the pavement under my feet once again :)

At 14 weeks, Baby Goulet is the size of a lemon! By the end of this week babys arms will have grown to a proportion of the rest of baby's body. Baby can also squint, pee, frown, grimmace, and possibly even suck his/her thumb! Crazy to think all of that is going on inside of me!

My weight gain has been pretty steady since about 8 weeks, with a total of 15lbs. That had me in maternity pants a little bit sooner than I expected, but as soon as I felt the comfort of those pants I wasnt going back! LOL

We have been playing around with the weekly bump photos, and realize that Im covering most of my belly in this one! Hopefully we will take a better shot of the bump next week :)

“Love the idea of documenting this journey. All I have to go on is my bad memory from more than 20 years ago. Morning sickness hit me like a hammer as well. Or, as you said, all day sickness. I lost 10 pounds before I gained any weight and the doctor threatened to hospitalize me if I continued losing weight (as if it was a choice). I finally began to feel myself after the first trimester and was finally able to begin to enjoy my pregnancy. I am so thrilled for you and Grant! I look forward to reading about your continued journey!”
