14 weeks - 98 days - one trimester down, two to go!

Lemonade anyone?

Sun dress weather is finally here!  Thank goodness.  I went to the beach yesterday with Hub and our besties.  While I've been looking for a tankini I have been reluctant to buy one.  They're just so ugly!  I just don't understand them, really.  They have potential to be cute, but somewhere they fall short.  I think that somewhere may be my body type.  I'm 5'5 with practically no waist and pretty large breasticles.  Maybe tankinis are made for taller, longer waisted women.  I don't know.  All I know is that I need to get one and can't bring myself to make the purchase.  The two potential ones that I found were at our friendly, neighborhood Target.  One is maternity and is quite cute and the other is just a regular tankini.  The only problem with the maternity suit is that I'm not showing a damn thing yet which means when I put the top on, it flows out like a tent to the point where you can't even see the bottoms.  I just know that something must be done before I hit the beach again.  Today I wore last year's bikini and my poor 'girls' had to be shoved and stuffed into the cups.  Needless to say I was a little self-consious.  The good thing is that neither of them cost much so I can't really go too wrong.  I'm just going to have to suck it up and wait for my belly to fill in so that I look somewhat decent in which ever one I choose.  Weird that I have to look pregnant to 'look' decent in a bathing suit.  That's bass-ackwards.

I would add the straps

Regular suit

Stuff with me is same old.  Still don't look or feel pregnant, hit the gym a few times this week, Girls on the Run coaching, work, hanging out with friends, etc.  Still would kill for a glass of wine or be able to sit oceanfront with a jumbo margarita but those desires pass, thankfully.  I did beat Hub in mini-golf (by one stroke) this weekend.  I got out of mowing the grass for that one - yes!  Other than that, nothing new to report.  17 days of school left!  2 more Mondays for my fellow teacher friends out there.

News from the Womb

Thanks to last week's ultrasound I know that Baby T is, in fact, still hanging out in my uterus.  On Saturday when I ran I could feel that grapefruit-sized sucker (uterus).  It felt like it was sitting above my right hip bone.  My abs kicked in and stabilized it from resting on my hip joint.  I feel it when I sneeze sometimes too.  Ok.  So Baby T is the size of a lemon this week.  I don't know why but fetus in comparison to a fruit isn't nauseating at all.  I was disgusted last week at the thought of eating shrimp because that's how long the baby was.  Just gross.  Lemons I can handle.  Here are the stats:

• 3 1/2 inches long - 1.5 ounces
• It makes facial expressions
• It's peeing in my uterus!  That is unnerving.  At least it's in its' own little sac.  I'm going to have to teach him/her how to clean their own room ASAP.  There will be no peeing in there.
• Its' arms have gotten proportional to it's ginormica dome piece.
• downy hairs are beginning to cover its' entire body - can we say Chewbacha?

While he/she's moving around in there I still don't feel it.  I wonder if I'm going to realize when I do.  I've heard that feeling is comparable to having gas.  Gas/baby who knows what's going on in there!?

Me, and Kale, @ 14 weeks
There's something starting but I still feel like
it's an extreme case of muffin-toppage.

Speaking of gas I may as well add this little tidbit in as well.  Why the hell do I smell like a soggy foot when I work out?!  When did this new development occur?  I'm serious.  It's comparable to the way the dogs smell when they've been outside in the sun for a long time.  This may be TMI but I don't care.  I said that I would put it out there and I am going to.  Not only do I feel like I got in a good workout, but I smell like it as well.  Yikes.  Don't get on the elliptical or spin bike next to me.
I've also noticed that the top of my right foot has been going numb randomly.  At first it started at night when I would roll over or stretch during one of the zillion times that I wake myself up, but today it's been randomly throughout the day.  Probably will be calling the doctor tomorrow about that one.  Not that they can move the baby off of my foot nerve or anything, but still it's kind of annoying.

On top of that, I must confess that I just CRUSHED some Rocky Road ice cream and Wavy Lays potato chips.  Just waiting for the guilt to shower down upon me.  Sigh...

Happy 2nd trimester to me!
