How far along? Fourteen Weeks, I made it to the second semester. Woohoo!
Baby Size? Size of a Lemon
Total weight gain? 3lbs, really packed it on this week
Maternity clothes? I tried on my fat jeans yesterday and they would barely button. I think I will have to start using the rubber band trick. So scary to not be in control of your pant size anymore.
Stretch Marks? I haven't grown enough to see any yet.
Best moment this week? We found out the sex of the babe today along with our Panorama results. The results were perfect. All negatives and low risk for Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and eight other syndromes. I also turned the big Three Oh! Big changes. We will be sharing the sex of the babe soon.
Miss anything? Working out, I haven't been able to work out due to my nausea but I really miss it. Plus, having a little bit of a difficult time with losing control over the weight management of my body.
Food cravings? Grilled cheese and tomato sandwich's. Delish!
Babe Movement? Not yet, but this week baby is sucking its thumb and wiggling its toes.
Food aversions? It's hard to find food that sounds appetizing but I can't name a specific aversion this week.
Gender? We know and will be sharing soon!
Labor signs? Not yet, but looking into prenatal classes.
Symptoms? Stronger nails, bleeding gums, fatigue, nausea, and gas. Lots of it, but its the baby not me.
Sleep? Love sleeping with Murphy my body pillow but the hubby has started to steal him away at night for cuddle seshes. Excuse me...what is going on?! Still waking up to use the restroom, and waking up super early to eat and then go back to bed. The babe wakes me up around 6am starving.
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? Wedding band on, engagement ring off.
Happy or moody? Feeling super happy this week. All is well!
Looking forward to? Heading to my hometown this Saturday where I will be telling all my family and friends. I am so excited to drop the bomb.

How far along? Eleven Weeks
Baby Size? Size of a Lime
Total weight gain? 4lbs
Maternity clothes? None, but my favorite Vince jeans in this pic are fitting pretty tight, not sure how much longer I can pull these off.
Stretch Marks? Rubbin on my oil everyday.
Best moment this week? Started to pick out some baby furniture online to purchase while we are in the states. It's so fun shopping for fun nursery items.
Miss anything? The lower altitude, morning sickness has hit again now that we are back home.
Food cravings? Fruits, mostly oranges, watermelon, and strawberries.
Babe Movement? None, but looking forward to feeling this lil monster inside.
Food aversions? This week salmon. Hubby made a delicious salmon but I couldn't even get near it. Boo!
Gender? The Chinese have solidified my feelings. I think it's a girl but we should find out soon.
Labor signs? Moving on...
Symptoms? Morning sickness hit me as soon as we arrived back to Bogota. But not feeling as tired this week. Strong headaches, so I broke down and took half a Tylenol for the first time since being pregnant. It relieved the headache immediately and I wish I had resorted to drugs earlier. A new symptom this week was a stuffy nose which apparently is quite common at this stage in pregnancy.
Sleep? No crazy dreams to report this week, but I have taken up quite a cuddle partner to sleep with. The infamous body pillow. Where has this been all my life. My husband has some jealousy issues with it.
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? Wedding band on.
Happy or moody? Happy, happy, happy, no moodiness to report but can be emotional from time to time.
Looking forward to? Telling all our family and friends in three weeks. I know we are waiting quite a while before breaking the news, but the hubby and I live in Bogota, Colombia and will be traveling back to the states in three weeks to see everyone and decided to wait and tell them all in person then.

At Ten Weeks my Bump and I are taking it easy. Feeling amazing now that the nausea has subsided and really getting to enjoy our time away. Thinking this has a lot to due with the decreased altitude here in Medellin. Oh and I thought I would mention, due to the increased hormones, your skin tends to burn much easier. So layer up ladies!

How far along? Nine Weeks
Baby Size? Size of a Green Olive
Total weight gain? 3lbs
Maternity clothes? None, clothes are still fitting ok.
Stretch Marks? Still using MamaBee Oil on belly and lady lumps.
Best moment this week? Seeing and hearing the babes heartbeat, plus it was moving its little froggy legs and arms all around which was so cool to see since I can't feel a thing yet. Also, no longer need to take the progesterone since the placenta has now taken over.
Miss anything? SUSHI and Champagne
Food cravings? Bacon Cheeseburgers and a good icy cold coke.
Babe Movement? Not yet but feeling pregnant thanks to bloating.
Food aversions? Yep, usually any meat except a burger.
Gender? Still having some girl vibes running through me but had a dream the other night that I had a boy...hmm.
Labor signs? Again, avoiding this subject. I am not one for pain. Eek!
Symptoms? I don't have morning sickness. I have all day sickness, fatigue (does staying in bed all day mean your lazy? Oh well), shortness of breath, increased smell, headaches, sore lady lumps, occasional cramping and lower back aches, acne, and frequent tinkling.
Sleep? Having pretty vivid dreams. Dreamt I delivered a baby boy and the nurses stole him from me and wouldn't give him back. Also, still waking up in the middle of the night with a super full bladder. So uncomfortable.
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? Wedding band on.
Happy or moody? Still really happy, not experiencing any moodiness yet.
Looking forward to? Our friends from NYC coming in town this weekend and taking off to Cartagena and Medellin for a week with them. Not looking forward to, how hard it will be to hide the news from our friends visiting. Our plan, order alcoholic beverages as normal but hubby will be drinking for two, while I eat for two.

How far along? Six Weeks
Baby Size? Size of a Sweet Pea
Total weight gain? None
Maternity clothes? None
Stretch Marks? Not yet, but started using MamaBee Oil.
Best moment this week? Hubby being so patient and catering to my nauseous needs.
Miss anything? SUSHI and pooping.
Food cravings? Not yet, just eating anything that will stay down.
Babe Movement? Nope
Food aversions? Definitely experiencing this. My husband was cooking chicken and the smell, thought, and look of it made me nauseous. I wouldn't let him kiss me or even drink from my cup after he ate it because of his chicken lip residue. (EW! Puke)
Gender? Feeling girl vibes but not sure yet.
Labor signs? I don't want to think about this now.
Symptoms? Where do I begin, the nausea has kicked in to high gear this week along with fatigue, shortness of breath, increased smell, headaches, sore lady lumps, and constipation. Unfortunately, I live at an extremely high altitude (9,000 ft +) and this emphasizes the symptoms of pregnancy along with the fact that my doc put me on progesterone suppositories due to my low levels. Lucky me!
Sleep? Waking up at least once a night to do the dreaded walk to the restroom.
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? Wedding band on.
Happy or moody? Happy but emotional due to the extra progesterone. I can cry at the drop of a hat.
Looking forward to? Hearing our little babes heart beat at the next appointment in three weeks.
