If that isn't a bump then I don't know what is. That is definitely not what I 'normally' look like ;)
*Additional side note- I was going to have all my bump pictures be in the same outfit but then I realized that it was waayyyyy too much work!

How far along: 14 weeks- hello 2nd trimester :)

Baby is the size of a: Lemon

Maternity clothes: Not yet. I am officially down one pair of dress pants which did not zip up yesterday. I might need to buy something to wear to school soon.

Food cravings: Chips and fresh salsa and Thanksgiving dinner- any takers on coming over and making it for me soon?!?

Anything make you queasy or sick: Just a lot of smells: exhaust from stinky cars, cigarette smoke (even if it is just on clothes), fish. One of my students had an accident in their pants the other day and when I got a whiff of it I almost lost it mid-sentence in front of my whole class.

Miss anything: Turkey sandwiches and my occasional Dr. Pepper or Pepsi. I also miss sleeping on my stomach. This whole 'sleep on your side' thing is not easy. I did buy a body pillow (I started off with one from Target to see if I can manage with that) but I don't like to really be confined when I sleep. I've learned that I like to be sprawled out and move a lot which is not helpful with a big pillow.

Have you started to show yet: I think my tiny bump is a tad bigger, but I might just notice it after I eat. I wrote that last sentence last night. Apparently after I wrote it I must have 'popped' a little because in the picture of 14 weeks there is a bump! Last night I was looking in the mirror trying to figure out if I had a bump and Justin said, "Wow- you do look pregnant!"

Movement: I have felt these random "bubbles" (best way to describe it). I asked my doctor this past week and he said that the baby is still too small to feel. He said it was either just gas or the many changes that my stomach and uterus are going through.

Best moment this week: Celebrating my husband's birthday (was a little over a week ago), going 'official' with telling everyone- although my students still do not know yet and hearing the baby's heartbeat :)
How have I been feeling: I no longer have morning sickness and food actually sounds good again. I never thought that I would want to eat ever again, but I am glad that passed and I enjoy food. I do have more energy- I have managed to make dinner and clean a bit instead of just plopping down on the couch after work and not moving. Being a first grade teacher, it is hard to tell if I really do have more energy because this job is ex-hau-sting no matter what. I have started having some back pain this week :(
Looking forward to: Going to Raleigh this weekend :) Oh- does it have to be pregnancy related? Telling my students and seeing their reactions. I hope that I don't get any "ask your parents" questions.
