14 Weeks!

I hit 14 weeks today! How exciting. I'm officially in the second trimester now and definitely feeling a little different. My nausea isn't so bad but my food aversions seem higher than they were before. Ho hum...someday I'll be able to eat again. ;-) Last week I was feeling more energetic (I also had the week off of work), however now I'm feeling very drained again. I can actually make it through a movie though!! Well as long as we start it before 8pm. :-) I'm also learning the joys of growing fast. I think my hips are starting to spread and they're going fast. I've been having a lot of hip pain and it almost feels like I have a pinched nerve in my lower back by my tailbone. So strange. Not comfortable. As long as I don't move too fast it isn't horribly painful. I'm also starting to experience definite round ligament pain with my growing belly. Hopefully I'll get used to all this very quickly since I have a long way to go!! :-) One of my best friends got me a Snoogle body pillow for my birthday and I LOVE it! It makes sleeping much more comfortable. OH - one thing I've noticed is that now that the babies have moved up a bit I'm not going pee as much! SO I can sleep a little longer at a time. I think I'm down to 2 or 3 times a night (compared to 4 or 5!). That's pretty impressive. All in all I'm loving it still. Wish some things weren't so painful but I'm still enjoying every minute. I love feeling the little flutters. Once in a while I'll get a definite kick but right now it's few and far between. A couple more weeks and I should be feeling it quite a bit more.

I'm very excited to go to my first official OB appointment next Wednesday. I have no idea what to expect but I am hoping to at least get an idea of what is in store for me and these babies. How long does he think I'll be able to go? When does he think I'll need to stop working and go to bedrest? Does he think we need to do a C-Section (I'm hoping for that one)? These are questions I want answered on Wednesday - so I should probably write them down because I'm definitely getting that pregnancy forgetfullness!!! LOL Seriously I have to tell myself out loud that I have shut the garage door in the morning otherwise I worry all day if I shut it!! LOL

We have also started cleaning out the nursery and getting things all ready. My wonderful sister was nice enough to let me borrow a ton of baby stuff (she has two kids under 2!). My Mom also bought us the double stroller we wanted so we excitedly put that together this week. We're getting very excited. I'll take pics once the nursery is done. :-) Here's the latest belly pics. I'm adding both my "13" week pic and my 14 week pic since I didn't get one in last week.
