14 weeks and growing

(And yes, I recognize the bathroom background is messy. Normally I cannot handle mess, but lately I'm just so tired that I let it sit until I get a burst of energy. No judgment!)

Hello 14 weeks, glad you're here! And along with you came...

• A flatter, less inverted belly button. It's strange.
• A less frequent urge to gag. I can sometimes even pour the dog food without gagging. Ok, just twice, but that's progress.
• Headaches. Or maybe this is from the H1N1 vaccine.
• Comfy maternity pants. Ah, they are divinely comfortable.
• My still unruly, won't-do-a-thing hair. But, hair appointment on Monday may help with that.
• Tighter shirts. My once loose Sea Gate t-shirt looked like a fitted tee last night. Nice.
• Huge appetite. Perhaps only for that one thing that sounds good, but I'll eat the heck out of it.
• Stomach gurgles and rumblings.
  
• Feeling full all the time, like I just ate a huge meal but I didn't.
• Better nights of sleep, compared to the insomnia of earlier.
  
• Strong sense of smell. That new furnace we're getting today better not make a tiny leak of gas smell or we're in for trouble.
• Continued skin issues of a teenager.
• Sweet husband who's excited about being a dad. Yippee!
  
• Lots of quick, sneaky glances at my stomach by my coworkers.
• Yawns, yawns and more yawns.
