The Almighty Belly


Today feels like a good day, I seem to be having more of those lately but the unfriendly symptoms are still lurking in the shadows and I tend not to have 2 good days in a row. So here I am at 14 weeks, you have to get the picture at the right angle or else it'll just look like a fat belly. Depending on the time of day and when I have my shirt pulled down, my stomach looks HUGE, mainly because after a full day of eating I am really bloated and my entire abdomen sticks out and you would think I was 6 months pregnant. Right now, from head to bottom, the baby is between 3-4 inches and weighs a mere 1.5 ounces.
Yesterday morning I woke up and felt like something was lightly tickling my stomach, so I moved my hand under the blanket and there was nothing there, and again felt the tickling. If that was the baby moving inside I look forward to feeling it again because it was pretty cool. I also have been eating much better now that I don't feel desperately hungry all the time, although I still have nights where I wake up at 2-3am and have to go down for a bite to eat. Depending on the day also, opening my refrigerator isn't so disgusting - somedays I don't smell anything and then others the brief whiff of the food in there will hit my automatic gag reflex.
My next doctor's appointment is March 25th, but no ultrasound, I have another appointment april 15th (I think that's when it is), and they will do one then.

  1. That means you're having a tax baby (I don't know what that means, but the whole April 15th thing just stuck out to me). Anyway, you look great! :-) Have fun and it's totally awesome when you can really feel them move!
