14 week update

What a week, ya'll!  We were both so busy, I hardly had time to think about Bean Sprout at all.  Apparently, that wasn't cool because he/she made his/her presence known at the rehearsal dinner and I was just miserable for an hour.  Sorry buddy.  I'll take it easier this week.

Can we pause for a moment and discuss how crazy/awesome a Brizzolara-Manos baby is going to be?  Seriously, after having attended a wedding with you all, I'm worried about keeping Sprout in check.  You'll all be around to help...right?

Anyway, as soon as we got to our hotel at about 2:00 Sunday morning, I had Scott take my 14 week photo with my dress still on.  I worried for two months that I wouldn't fit in it at all but I was really happy with the way it turned out.  The bump wasn't too noticeable but in years to come I think Sprout will always know he/she was there that night, and I think that's kind of sweet.

I did get sick for the first time Sunday morning.  My puke-free streak is over!  But I think that might just be extreme fatigue and dehydration.  Either way, I need to slow down and relax, finally.

How far along?  14 weeks
Total weight gain:  I'll know more in a week after my next doctor's appointment
Maternity clothes?  I'd like to give a shout out to the heat in Phoenix because I've been wearing dresses all week and feeling less frumpy dumpy than when I'm at home.
Stretch marks?   No, but I've been neglecting my twice daily routine with cocoa butter!  I need to get back on that.
Sleep?  I haven't slept for more than 3 hours all week.  I highly doubt that's been Sprout's fault.
Best moment of the week?  Marrying my best friend, finally telling everyone about Bean Sprout, having the best wedding I've ever been to be my own!
Miss anything?  What's to miss?  My life is amazing.  Okay, maybe Josie and Belle.
Movement?  I don't think so but it would have been easy to miss this week.
Food craving?  Rolberto's and Rosita's.  Man, do I love Mexican food.
Anything make you sick or queasy?  Toothpaste.
Gender?  Aunt Chrissy said I look like I'm carrying high which usually means girl!  So now I'm about 80% thinking boy.
Labor signs?  No
Symptoms?  I'm tired but I can't sleep.  I get splitting headaches almost every day and I'm hungry all the time.  Also, I'm beginning to see the dark line from my belly button down.
Belly button in or out? In, but getting shallower every day.
Wedding rings on or off?   I have a wedding ring!  But it's too small.  Engagement ring fits perfectly.
Happy or moody most of the time?  Happy, except when I'm not feeling well.
Looking forward to:  DOWN TIME.
