How far along? 14 weeks
Best moment this week: Having the week off to spend with my family! We had a great time going to the beach and playing, hitting up Wiggleworks and got spoiled with free dinner and goodies at Emerald Downs. It was awesome getting to catch up on sleep (Norah happily slept in until 8:30 every day… YES.)
Miss anything yet? Having energy! I could miss not being hormonal, too—again, not pining over anything, just looking forward to the semi-nomalacy of the second trimester (here’s hoping!)
Movement: Still phantom spins!
Food cravings: Been going through lots of plain bagels with cream cheese. I’m discovering it’s oddly white foods that sound good (what an odd thing to crave?! What’s so wrong with a salad, baby?!)
Anything sounding disgusting? Still dinner. I can eat the world until about noon, then I’m done. And sad that I have to keep eating. Probably why I’ve only gained a pound so far.
Showing yet? Oh yes. Nice, small and rotund.
Gender prediction: Still thinkin’ boy!
Sleep? Crazy dreams kicking in! Odd stuff man, I’m telling you. I should write short stories on these bad boys.
Belly button situation? Totally out. Ring out. I really need to think up a new question next week (as I have a soft volcano of belly button sadness).
Clothing situation? Kind of awkwardly in the middle of my regular clothes being super clingy and awkward, but maternity clothes are way too big. It’s silly, but short term. If you see me wearing the same three outfits over and over, smile and politely ignore the fact that you’ve noticed.
I'm generally feeling: Happy, but still a bit off-kilter. I feel like my brain is happy, but my demeanor is off. It’s still a bit surreal though to be totally honest—I’ve been so busy focusing on Norah it’s hard to imagine adding another!

Looking forward to: Knowing the gender! Looks like we will find out right around my 30th birthday… fun!! Then the weirdo crazy nester in me will finally be able to go through all the baby things we have, and either sort or sell all the things—woohoo!
