Hello Second Trimester! {14 weeks!}

Let me start off by saying that I feel so much better most of the time now. Thank you Jesus. I get mild headaches and I am trying to ween myself off after work naps. But most food doesn't upset my stomach, so that's good.

We are in the middle of our move right now. This weekend we had a friend help us move all of our big furniture over, so our house looks more like a {messy} house. We still have some stuff at our old place but we plan on getting that all out this weekend. With all that being said we currently do not have access to the internet at either of our houses. I was able to draft something up though and publish it from my phone. :) Yay technology!

Okay, about the baby... We had an appointment on Monday (which was Brad's birthday). It was a really uneventful appointment and I heard that that is a good thing. We only got to hear the heartbeat, which was really fast and super cute. But I have a doppler at home to do that, I wanted to seeeeee the bean. I also got bit by a bug on the Sunday before my appointment so I had them look at that because it was red and swollen. They gave me some cortisone and it's now pretty much gone.
Our next appointment is on September 26th for a routine check up. I have to call on September 7th to set up our ultrasound to have the gender scan! I am hoping to get in on or around October 3rd! I can't wait to find our what we are having! I flip flop between thinking it's a boy or a girl ALL the time. One of my friends thinks we are having a girl (she keeps dreaming about her) and one of my coworkers thinks it's a boy. In a little over a month we will know for sure! I am still trying to think of something fun to do for the gender reveal. I am thinking that cake will be involved. Mmm, cake...

I did take a quick picture this morning of the baby bump. :) 

 

The bean is about the size of a lemon this week. I didn't have any lemons on hand, but can I say that lemonade sounds delicious right now... 

This is what BabyCenter.com says about the bean this week:

Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.

I was hoping that we would have had a new picture of the bean this week but I guess we have to wait until the gender scan. *sigh*
