Bumpdate: 14 weeks



14 weeks and the time seems to be flying by already!  It is true what they say - the second time around, everything seems to pop out much quicker!  I popped early with G and even earlier with this peanut.  As my brother-in-law so eloquently put it, "Wow, those ligaments must have been really stretched out!" ... it's a good thing I love him!  ;)

Our families are very excited, especially R's since he is an only child.  G likes to lift up my shirt and say goodnight to the baby, but he has no clue what is in store for him.  I know going from one to two will be a huge adjustment for everyone, especially him, but I cannot wait for him to have a sibling to play with.

Just like my first pregnancy, I have had zero issues with morning sickness (*knock on wood*) and have only dealt with headaches and general fatigue.  I gave in and finally bought a pregnancy pillow today, something that I always regretted not getting because I thought it was frivolous and then there wasn't much time left in my pregnancy when I decided maybe it was worth trying out.

No real cravings or aversions, per say, but I eat pretty frequently and try my best to get in extra fruits and veggies.  I do still have a limited amount of caffeine to help with my headaches.

I haven't had a big bleeding scare since the night I went to the ER, and I wake up thankful every morning to have this sweet baby another day.
