Here we go with yet another week! I tell you I think you are all lying to me.
I am never going to be able to stay awake again. This baby is truly taking
everything out of me. I am so tired all the time I am not sure how I am even
standing. I can say I seem to be rounding the corner on the energy but still am holding strong with at least two hour daily naps. Poor Jason, between Enrique who had his wisdom teeth out and me being so tired he felt like he spent the weekend alone. Even though we were all together the only one talking was Jason. And we all know how rare
that is.
Our baby is currently holding the title of a “Georgia Peach” at least that is the size
this week. Wow from a lime to a peach! How fun to be compared to fruit huh. Ha.
We dog sat last weekend for Natascha’s dog, Maddi. We are trying to
earn some extra cash for Baby B. Since I was to tired to workout this past
weekend at least someone used our new treadmill. Yep, that is right. Jason put
the dog on the treadmill to work her out. Mind you Maddi is a miniature
Pincher who weighs about 7 pounds. It was so funny. Sadly, it did not wear her
out. This dog has so much energy. Maybe she is the one stealing all of mine.
We really like to go that extra mile when we dog sit to ensure the dog is happy
and healthy.
One of my clients, Edith gave me all of her maternity clothes. She has a seven
Week old baby girl and figured if she kept holding onto them she would never
Get out of them. So, I help her…she helps me. I had another woman at the gym who is not even my client give me more clothes this past weekend. I told Jason regardless of how tired I am we are going to have to be social as I grow since I have so many cute outfits to wear. Works out great I am pretty set now with all these clothes. Now we just have to get this stomach to grow.
I have had a couple of clients this week claim they see a bump. I surely felt like there
was a bump going on on Monday and Tuesday. On the 4th there appeared to be one as
well. However the rest of the week guess based on what I was wearing I felt like you
could not tell. I even got to wear my skinny girl jeans to church today. How fun. Ha.
I worked out again this week three times. It really gives me so much energy.
My stomach is starting to feel different. I can feel the ligaments starting to stretch out and it is very hard right below my belly button. No real food cravings going on yet. Still just holding strong with wanting berries...not "Julie berries" so no need to worry! Still am not able to eat a lot at one sitting. Last night we hung out with my friend Natascha, she had us over along with two other pregnant women. One who is a week ahead of me and one who is due in late August. So that was really fun to be able to get some good information on what is to come and to compare some stories.
I have included some pictures from Saturday which is the start of week 14. Also, one from the fourth with "the belly." Hope you are all well.
Lots of love,
Julie and Jason
Below is the babycenter.com weekly report:
How your baby's growing:Head to bottom, your baby's 3 1/2 inches long — about the length of a lemon — and weighs about 1 1/2 ounces. Her body's growing faster than her head, which now sits upon a more well-defined neck. By the end of this week, her arms will have lengthened and will be in proportion to the rest of her body. (Her legs still have some growing to do, though.) She's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair all over her body (called lanugo). Her liver starts secreting bile this week, a sign that it's already functioning properly, and her spleen starts contributing to the production of red blood cells. She's also producing and discharging urine into the amniotic fluid, a normal process that she'll keep up until birth. You still can't feel your baby's movements, but her hands and feet (which are now half an inch long) are more flexible and active. Thanks to brain impulses, her little facial muscles are getting a workout as she squints, frowns, and grimaces. She can grasp now, too, and she may be able to suck her thumb.
