How far along: Fourteen weeks as of Wednesday, January 15, 2014. Officially out of the first trimester and into the second!
Size of baby: Lima Bean is stretching out. She is 3.5 inches from crown to rump, about the size of a lemon, and weighs about 1.5 ounces.
Maternity Clothes: No, but I had a heck of a time finding something to wear to a client meeting this week. I work for an awesome law firm that allows us to wear jeans, which I do nearly every day. So, I have a closet full of business casual clothes I never wear unless I am taking a deposition, going to court, or meeting with a client. I tried on every suit I own the night before the meeting, even the ones that are normally too big in the waist, and none of them fit! I ended up wearing a top with an elastic bottom that kept the suit pants up while unbuttoned! I made sure it wasn't noticeable first, of course. But I am thinking I will need to invest in a maternity suit. I hate spending the money on something I won't wear for long, but I know I will need it at some point during this pregnancy.
Movement: No movement yet. Hopefully I will feel Lima Bean in the next couple of weeks!
Sex of baby: Thinking girl, but we'll see.
Sleep: Sleeping fine.
What I miss: Having dressy work clothes that fit!
Cravings: Sweet foods. Chocolate chip cookies, mango, strawberries. I found a recipe for honey sesame chicken and literally drooled thinking about it for two days until I finally made it. It was just as delicious as it looked.
Symptoms: Fatigue, bad skin. Eating sweets probably isn't helping my cause.
What I'm looking forward to: Warmer weather so I can wear dresses. Unfortunately, with the way this winter is going, I don't think I will get my wish for quite some time.
