It's official the WHOLE WORLD is in on it!

October 25 2012

The first official person, non family or friend, has asked if I am pregnant today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hooray!!!!  Granted it was a woman in one of my classes who is an OB/GYN, but I am still counting it!  Also Matt said this morning that he could see the baby, I am pretty sure he meant that he could see my belly and not the actual baby but i am going to ask tonight just to make sure. In the last week I can definitely tell my belly is starting to round out a bit, finally getting past the awkward spare tire phase! 

I went to the doctor on Tuesday, everyone is healthy and happy.  My blood pressure was normal, I got to hear the heart beat (154 bpm) and I got a flu shot.  It was my first time being brave enough for the flu shot, but I must admit it was not that bad and I have not had any side effects.  I found out my blood type is B- so Matt has to go to the doctor and get his blood type because if he is positive anything then I have to get a shot around 28 weeks so when I give birth my blood and the babies blood don't mix....apparently its a common thing, but I am keeping my fingers crossed Matt is negative.

We have to wait a whhhhhhoooooooolllllllleeeee month until our next doctors appointment :( but now that I can see growth happening I think i will feel more comfortable with the wait time.

How far along? 14 weeks, 6 days! 
Weight gain/loss? I am up a total of 5 pounds, which my doc said was low to normal for the first 14 weeks.  I should expect to put on like 1-2 pounds every two weeks for this trimester....Yikes!  that is getting big fast!
Maternity clothes? My maternity clothes still aren't fitting right, so I bought some leggings (finally my obsession with spandex is acceptable in public) and I am looking to buy some large sweaters and shirts....hopefully my maternity stuff will fit soon!
Stretch marks? None now and trying hard to prevent them in the future, lots of water and lotion!  My skin has been a little bit more itchy but lotion and aloe has been helpful.
Sleep? It has been great, with the exception of Max always stealing my spot when i get up to pee at night.....if only he wasn't so darn cute when he does it, I don't have the heart to move him so I tend to curl up at the bottom of the bed.
Best moment this week?  People starting to notice I am pregnant.  Seeing Elsa, James and Lena in Philly. Hearing the heart beat and finding out everything is still progressing normally.
Movement? Our little guy (or girl) is very active, but I can't feel it yet...maybe a month or so and I will start to feel the dance parties going on. 
Food Cravings? Bagels
Food Aversions? Chicken and meat in general isn't appealing to me very much right now...   
Gender? Your guess is as good as mine, and will be until the little one makes an appearance.  (that means we are not going to find out the gender, unless Matt is able to convince me by December 5 it is a good idea....I am trying to hold out)
Belly button in or out? In.
What I miss? normal fitting clothes
What I am looking forward to? Halloween candy, my parents visiting in a couple of weeks
Milestones? People can tell I am pregnant!
