14 Week Update

Well, now that I have announced my pregnancy, I can start talking about it. I stole this layout from my sister, so here goes:

How far along?: 14 Weeks!!!
Total Weight Gain: None, I've actually lost 10 lbs. The WIC people are making me see their dietician to make sure that I am eating properly, but my doctor says I should be fine. She wants me to start eating 6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones. We will see if I can make that possible.
How big is baby?: 4 inches
Maternity clothes?: Been wearing maternity clothes for about 8 weeks, so no big news. But I did buy some maternity shirts online, so I am waiting for those to arrive.
Stretch marks?: My stretch marks from being pregnant with Aiden are still there and they seem to be getting a little more prominent. I'm using a lot of lotion to try to inhibit them from getting worse.
Sleep?: Doing okay on that front. Tired all the time, but doing okay.
Best moment this week?: Using the fetal heart monitor and finding the baby's heartbeat. That is really reassuring when I am constantly worried about having a miscarriage again.
Movement?: Yeah, feeling the baby move but it's just little bits here and there right now, it'll get more prominent later.
Food cravings?: Sour cream....mmm.
Belly button in or out?: In, don't expect it to pop out.
Problems?: Dizziness with feelings of being faint are getting worse. I'm seeing spots, and having my eyes black out for a second. I'll be talking to the doctor about it at my next appt.
What I'm looking forward to: My next appointment, on August 11th. We should know when our gender ultrasound will be!
