14 Weeks

Today is officially 14 weeks.  :)  I can't believe how much weight I've already put on!  I'm thankful to Kristen, who loaned me some maternity clothes!  I'm glad to only have to dress up for work a couple more days!  I sure love lounging in stretchy pants and tank tops! 

For fun...I searched the internet for myths on determining the baby's gender. Every myth/prediction was that it was a girl! I guess we'll find out in 6 weeks! :)  The newest symptom I'm encountering is hot flashes! I've ALWAYS been cold!  Even in the summer, I'm cold.  Now...I'm always hot!  We were watching a movie the other night, and I had the temperature down so low that Kris was in a sweatshirt, and was covered in two blankets AND whining about the cold.....while I was wearing a tank top and my pants rolled up!  Soooo weird!  :) 

I've almost kicked this nasty cold!  It totally stunk that I had to suffer through without medicine...but the saline nasal spray helped a lot.  Drinking lots of water and sleeping really helped....But Kris helped the MOST!  He took care of everything so I could rest and recover.  He's awesome.  :)

And finally...my newest addiction:  The Discovery Channel-"Birth Day" show.  I've been watching that for hours and hours!  There is something so fascinating and horrifying about watching these women deliver their babies.  I can't pull myself away!  I watched this one episode where a woman had to gain 150 pounds for her quadruplets!  OMG!  And a woman delivered a 9 lb 8 oz baby WITHOUT medication NATURALLY!  OMG! 

Anywho...thanks for checking our blog for the updates!  :)
