Hello all! Sorry that I haven’t posted anything in a really long time. I’m finally coming out of the 1st trimester hibernation period (aka fatigue) that hit me really hard. It feels wonderful to have energy again…even if my energy level's still not what it was pre-pregnancy.
We got to see the baby twice in the first trimester...what wonderful experiences those were! Our last scan was the NT scan and baby was moving around like crazy. I got the results back from the blood work that went along with the scan today and we went from a 1/320 chance of having an abnormality to a 1/2200 chance. We were very happy that our chances of a healthy baby are really good, not that we would have done anything otherwise. It's just reassuring.
My newest news is that I’m interviewing for a new job this week. I’m excited and nervous about it at the same time. I moved to NY a year ago and had a hard time finding a job. I was probably lucky to find any job with the way things have been lately, but the job is not in the area that I wanted to be in. I found a posting about 2 months ago for a job that I really wanted and applied for it. Last week I got a call to come in for an interview. I’ve been debating on whether I should tell them that I’m pregnant or not. I’ve finally come to the decision that I’m going to tell them. I know that I’m not required to, but I need to know that they are going to be ok with it ahead of time. My thought is, if they don’t hire me because I’m pregnant it’s probably not a place that I’m going to want to work anyway. I’ll keep you all updated on what happens at the interview.
I like these little quizzes that I’ve seen other people do. I figured I’d start doing them as well.
How far along?- 14 weeks, 5days…I still can’t believe that I’m this far along already.

Total weight gain/loss- 12 pounds. Yikes! I’m hoping to start exercising more this week to keep this number from going up as fast as it has been.
How Big is Baby?- An apple
Maternity clothes?- I’m in maternity pants (have been since about week 9 due to bloat). I bought a few maternity shirts and sweaters, but they are still huge on me.
Stretch marks?- I have some old ones and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I don’t get any new ones.
Sleep- I sleep like a rock. I have had a few nightmares since being pregnant (being in a river and going over a waterfall, having cancer and having to choose between keeping the baby and getting chemo). Luckily I haven’t had any in a few weeks. I’m hoping those were 1st Trimester related.
Best moment this week?- Getting to hear the heart beat for the first time and spending time with my old work friend in NYC.
Movement- Nope…hopefully in the next few weeks.
Food cravings- Nothing consistent, but I do crave McDonald’s McFlurries and donuts from Dunkin Donuts. That may be related to my 12 pound weight gain. Oops!
Gender- We find out on 10/23!
Labor Signs- None yet, thank goodness.
Belly Button in or out?- In and I'm not looking forward to it popping out.
What I am looking forward to- Feeling the baby move and finding out the sex. Unfortunely we still have a several week for both of these things.
Milestones- Not feeling as tired as I was in 1st Trimester!
Congrats on the healthy baby news! We're just a few days behind you EDD-wise. And good luck with the job!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the interview! I'm glad that you're feeling better in T2 and that the baby is healthy.
