Marination Time: 14 Weeks

Size of baby: Little Bean is three and a half inches long, one and a half ounces, and the size of a lemon.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: still about 4.5 lbs

Maternity Clothes: Maternity jeans and pants. Tops and dresses are regular.

Sex: Still unconfirmed, though we have a hunch after our scans.

Movement: This is the big news this week! Yes – thanks to a couple of pieces of my mom’s sugary and delicious fudge today, LB must have been dancing and flipping. I felt some “bubbles” that definitely were not due to indigestion. Fun, and crazy.

Belly button watch: Innie.

Sleep: Sleeping fine!

What I miss: Being able to hide the bump actually got very tricky at the end of this week. It’s out and proud – ha. We’re sharing the news with more and more friends, but this is tricky at work! Gone are the days of hiding this totally!

Cravings: Cheese and spicy foods. I feel compelled to make crab dip this coming week!

Symptoms: A little more trouble rolling up out of bed in the morning due to the belly! Some aches and pains.

Best Moment this week: Starting to feel LB move the tiniest bit. Looking forward to sharing our news with more friends this weekend and on NYE on Monday night.
