Your Baby: Week 14

Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.

1st Trimester Recap

Ugh where do I start, it hasn't been what I expected but really what should have I expected seeing that this is the first time I've ever been pregnant lol. This first trimester definitely has me and everything feeling really different. I knew that whenever I'd get pregnant that I wouldn't be one of those people who felt great  because I'm always sick and my body is sensitive to change... but I wasn't prepared to be constantly nauseous and gagging from steaming showers, brushing my teeth, stinky smells (that I only smell), food cooking, the thought of taking my prenatal or just from going from the warmth out to the cold ahh all because my baby is growing lol .... but that's not all, I've been really hungry but I never know what I want to eat, always out of breathe, I'm having a hard time staying awake and I go to sleep around 8-9pm everyday but toss and turn all night because my back has been killing already (due to my tilted uterus that I just found out about), once I'm up the cycle starts over.


What I've been craving?
Anything breakfast at any time of the day (yum), OJ, Lemonade, Carbs, Cupcakes, Steak and Cheese and Salad.

I also ate my first fast food hamburger  ever.... I have never liked hamburger but man it was yummy and I'm sure that wont be my last :)

What I can't wait for?
  I can't wait to get a burst of energy back, not be nauseous, feel the baby move and officially find out what I'm having ( although I know and the ultrasound tech gave her early guess and it matched my gut feeling lol I want to know 100% so I can go crazy and by my baby cute things)


First Trimester weight gain/loss?
Lost 4 pounds, Idk how


How many doctors visit so far?
I've had 3 ob visit  and one visit to the hospital for the downs test, everything looks great :)

Maternity Dresses

Studded Woven Maternity Dress

Gap-Pleat sleeve dress

ASOS MATERNITY Exclusive Black Ruched Wrap Bust Dress

Here are a few of my favorite dresses, I have a couple of semi formal events coming up and so I started searching early. I found that most maternity dresses are wrap dresses or tie back under the boobs which gives a empire waist (which I'm not a fan of) These dresses are "now" and allow me to be sexy while showing off the bump.

Some Accessories to go with these dresses

Weekly Wisdom: -

Milestones: Days away from ending my first trimester :)

Your Baby: Week 13

Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords... savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. (Much more convenient.)

The return of the blogger (with BIG news)

I am returning and promising you a lot more post! Okay, so I started writing this post about 2 months ago so that I could remember all the details so I could share them with you!  So read on :)

 OMG, BFP!

December 15th, 2010

I am in total and complete shock! Okay for those of you who have no idea  what BFP means... well I will explain! It means Big Fat Positive (pregnancy test of course)! The hubs and I have been secretly trying to conceive for about 5 months now... We let it take its course and when God thought we were ready he would bless us with a baby, but this came as a complete shock!!!! I had been feeling nauseous for about a week and a half but wasn't sure from what, so I let it go and thought let me just wait and see if aunt flow comes.... well as you might guess aunt flow never showed, so then I thought well lets just wait and see if maybe stress was making her late... well I waited 5 days already and thought  I'll give it until Friday (7 days) and then I'd have no choice but to take a test.  Well of course I couldn't wait for another 2 days  seeing that I really had no signs that aunt flow would show her face except a few cramps here and there. So, I kept it in the back of my head....

 So Wednesday morning (3:45am) I woke up because I had fallen asleep much earlier then usual that night like 8:30pm ... So I begin playing Doodle fit on my phone trying to get past the level that I had been playing before I has fallen asleep but  I still couldn't pass it, so I put the phone down and I just laid there thinking hmmmm should I creep out of bed now and sneak into the bathroom and dare take this test at what now was probably 4:00 am... back and fourth in my head I kept thinking do it... no wait until Friday.. NO DO IT NOW! LOL So tip-toed out the room trying not to wake the hubs, I open the door and saw the hubs move so I gently said I have to go pee so that he wouldn't get up to check on me because he know I wasn't feeling good.  I was safely went into the bathroom  took out a box of   test out from under the sink ...pulled one out struggling to open it and trying to hold in my pee at the same time... finally got it open and peed on the stick and sat it on the sink!  Ugh I sat there waiting there as the little hourglass kept flashing and thought okay I know it's not going to say that I am pregnant and then I'll just go back to bed... then it hit me and I prayed to God and said God what ever it reads I know it's for a reason and everything will be fine! So I turned my head knowing that it would read NOT PREGNANT... to find it reading PREGNANT! The next thing that came out of my mouth was HOLY SHIT I'M PREGNANT I covered my face and began to cry and laugh at the same time while I continued to say HOLY SHIT! lol My next thought was should I tell the hubs now, should I think of a cool way to  surprise him later that day or should I wait until Christmas !!! Hell no right now is the best time lol ( remember it's 4 something in the morning) so I creep out of the bathroom pee stick in hand I walked into the room as soon as I opened the door the hubs asked me if I was feeling of... I said yeah I'm fine but can I turn the light on, he says sure. I turn the light on and then slowly crawl into bed put the pee stick right in his face and waited for him to open his tightly sealed eyes... he slowly opened one and then the other and said what's this! He looked up at me and said your pregnant? I said yup... so he opens his arms and we hugged and began to cry tear of joy!!!! We both laid there in total shock thinking out loud about what's going to happen next!!

We're having a BABY!

*This blog is my pregnancy journal where I will document my pregnancy so that I can one day look back and read all about it!

Enjoy reading the good, the bad and the ugly!
