Second trimester week 14

I am 14 weeks pregnant today. Feel like I can finally put it down on paper/screen , didn't want to jinx it before. The first trimester food diary is on the bridesmaid diet blog.  I am supposed to be a bridesmaid in September however I am due 31st October.  . . .

I feel like I have been so unhealthy the last  week or so and I need to start eating as healthy as possible now that the sickness has subsided . Within reason obviously , dessert is still a must! need to make sure fibre is included in my diet. I was 11.5 the weekend before I found out I was pregnant as that as when we tried on the bridesmaid dresses. Over the last week or two I have been going between 11.8 and 1.11 which isn't too bad to be honest. I really don't mind putting on weight as long as it's pregnancy weight and not because of my bad diet. The aim from now on is to try and be as balanced as possible for health reasons.   

It was round about this weekend 3 years ago that I started the wedding dress diet  so this is a nice time to start this blog.
I think I should be putting half a pound to a pound on every week now. I have 181 days left of the pregnancy (26 weeks)

How far along? 14 weeks

Total weight gain: I think it's about 5 or 6 lbs but I will confirm tomorrow. I have had an indulgent long weekend though. Was 11.10 ish this morning

Maternity clothes? I bought a pair of jeans from next a few weeks ago but no where near ready to wear them.

Stretch marks? Nope, I have been using burts bees mamma bee shea butter since week 10 on my tummy and boobs.

Best moment this week: parents came up for long weekend.

Miss anything? Not really as I am.enjoying tea again amd can drink decaf coffee. I would like a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. I was having that a lot before I fell pregnant.

Movement: no no. Think it will be weeks before that happens.

Food cravings:  No. I still really enjoy iced water. I have never drank so much water in life.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not anymore. Think I am over the sickness feeling however the smell.pf garlic from people is still disgusting.

Gender: not planning on finding out anymore . . . I may change mind though.

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Boobs are still sore if I touch the nipple. I have been getting a lot of sharp pains in my left side underneath my hip bone and sometimes on the right. From what I have read it sounds like round ligament pain from everything stretching. The bottom of my back was sore yesterday but think that was from all the walking over the weekend.  

Belly button in or out? In!

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time : I would say happy. Can't believe I am at this stage however I worry about every tiny feeling or cramp.

Looking forward to:  The 16 week scan we booked.
