14 Weeks

Yesterday I had my 14 week check up.  So far so good.  Everything seems to check out as normal and I finally heard the baby's heartbeat.  I am finally feeling good again.  I'm not so tired all of the time but sleep is still tricky.  Now I seem to wake up at 3 in the morning or sometimes 5.  Sometimes I can go back to sleep and other times I can't.  I expected this since it happened the last two times.  I've also noticed that I'm already uncomfortable when I sleep.  It's getting more uncomfortable to sleep on my stomach so basically I just keep switching sides and by morning my hips hurt!  Again, I was expecting this but not until much later!  With each pregnancy all the symptoms seem to start even earlier. 

As far as cravings go I haven't really had any big ones.  Of course I love sweets!  I also had a few days when I really wanted some fried chicken!  Food pretty much sounds good all of the time now!  I think I'm in that stage of endless hunger.  I was just telling my doctor yesterday how I was worried about gaining too much weight.  Then I came home and realized after lunch that I was still hungry and in a house full of cookies!  I guess it's good that vegetables are tasting pretty good to me too!  I made a roast the other night with carrots.  Carrots are usually just a vegetable I tolerate.  I don't really like them that much.  For some reason I really enjoyed them!  I like them so much I even at the leftovers the next day!  It's interesting how pregnancy changes things!  Either way, with as much as I'm enjoying food now I think it's time to get back to a work out routine.  I'm really hoping it will warm up soon so that I can do some walking.  I don't really have it in my budget to join a gym right now but the Y always seems so appealing because then I could use the pool! 

So there it is...my pregnancy update!  I should hopefully find out the sex of the baby at my next appointment so stay tuned!
