14 weeks, 5 days



Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 14 weeks, 5 days
Size of baby: 4 inches, 2 1/2 oz
Weight gain: Still about 5 pounds so far.
Maternity Clothes: Yes! I definitely have to wear maternity pants and I have been wearing maternity shirts, but I can also wear some non-maternity shirts, too.
Gender: Don't know yet. I'm guessing boy, though.
Movement: Not yet
Sleep: I have to get up several times to go to the bathroom, but I can always go back to sleep.
Symptoms: What I find really amazing is that I have none of my Crohn's Disease symptoms.  I am so thankful for this because before I got pregnant I always worried that my body would not be able to properly nourish a baby.  I love being able to eat a meal and not be in the bathroom 5 minutes later.  That may be TMI, but think about this.... If this was the case for you for YEARS, wouldn't you be pretty excited, too?  I actually ENJOY food now.  I honestly don't remember the last time I have felt this good.  It's just amazing how the body works...it's like my body knows that I have to keep nutrients in to nourish my baby.  AMAZING.    
What I miss: I have been trying to eat really healthy. It's been a little bit of a struggle keeping away from junk and really paying attention to what I eat :)
Best Moment this week: Entering the 2nd trimester!
 What I am looking forward to: I just really can't wait to find out what we're having!
