14 Weeks

I'm 14 weeks tomorrow.  Close enough...

I think its safe to say I "popped".  This picture is 13 weeks 6 days.

How Far Along: 14 weeks with twins!

How big are the babies: Around 3.5 inches. About the size of lemons.  http://www.babycenter.com/6_your-pregnancy-14-weeks_1103.bc

Maternity Clothes: I think I "popped".  I don't think I want to attempt to put on regular pants.

Weight Gain: 8-9 pounds  (I blame "popping" and major constipation)

Belly: I'm looking pregnant.  My belly has rounded.  It sticks out on top too.  It's getting firm on the top.  Not sure why.  I guess everything is pushing up.  My uterus is now measuring around 18 weeks.  Last week I was about 3 weeks ahead.  This week I'm 4 weeks ahead.  At this rate, I'm going to be huge in no time!

Stretch Marks: None, yet.

Sleep: As soon as I can run and hide in bed.

Best Moment of the Week: Showing and feeling small flutters.

Movement: The babies are moving.  If I lay on my back, push around on my belly, then lay still, I can feel some small flutters.  I don't always feel them.  It did not feel like gas to me, so I put the fetal doppler on the spot I felt the flutter.  Sure enough, there was a heartbeat there.  That was so exiting for me!

Symptoms: I still have to take a pill every morning.  I came home and puked my guts out last night after baseball practice and dance.  I was trying to avoid taking a second pill.  I gave in after that.

Food Cravings: Pop tarts.  I've wanted them for a week now.  I ate a blueberry one last night.  I want another one, but I know they are horrible for you.  I need to wait a couple of days before having another one.

Genders: We will find out when I'm 18 weeks. Babies, you better lay the right way!

What I Miss: Not worrying about what I eat (deli, etc).

What I'm Looking Forward to: I can't wait to feel the babies move all of the time without having to poke around.

Weekly Wisdom: My super amazing husband is still helping cook.  He is grilling pork chops tonight.  Isn't he awesome?

Milestones: Feeling flutters and realizing I have 2 lemon sized babies in my belly!

Emotions: I still cry easily. Especially when I'm tired.  I get grouchy too.
