Maternity Update: Week 14

How far along: 14 weeks

Total weight gain: -31 pounds

Maternity clothes: Most of my tops are too short so I have been wearing more maternity tops, still wearing pre-pregnancy jeans with a belly band.

Sleep: More like naps ... sleep for a few hours, up for a few more, then napping again.

Best moment of the week: Spending time with the husband

Movement: On and off throughout the day

Gender: Unknown

Labor signs: None

Belly button in or out: In

What I miss: Keeping food down on a regular basis

What I'm looking forward to: End of morning sickness

Weekly wisdom: Enjoy the little moments together because in a few months they will be rare and far in between

Milestones: Second trimester, starting to feel the baby move

What's happening with the baby: You're a third of the way through and baby's a third of the way cooked. Now that the "big stuff" (like skeletal and organ development) is taken care of, baby starts a period of rapid brain growth, fat buildup and detail work.

What's happening with you: Second trimester is typically an easier time — the first trimester worries are waning and morning sickness is finally letting up. My uterus is expanding and I have even start showing! One side effect of your uterine expansion could be achy or sharp pregnancy cramps on one or both sides of your abdomen — known as "round ligament pain".
