14 Weeks

Sorry for skipping the last week!  It's been a hectic couple weeks, that's for sure!  We officially moved out of our Tucson house this weekend.  After living there for 2 and a half years, we have definitely outgrown it, but it was good to us while we lived there.  We'll both have some fond memories of the house, but it's definitely time to move on!  The neighborhood/area has definitely gone downhill since we've lived there (last week I woke up at 2 am to the police helicopter hovering LOUDLY right over our house, complete with spotlight shining right into the house).  Gotta love Tucson.

 On Thanksgiving, I was able to eat and enjoy dinner and dessert…until I threw up violently afterward.  That was no fun, and a disappointing way to end the night.  We announced our pregnancy to the rest of Adam's family, and then made our "Facebook official" post featuring our current baby, Jiggs.

Thanksgiving puking aside, here's the good news of the week…I'm finally feeling better!  All of my friends told me that one morning I would just wake up and feel like a switch flipped.  Well, Monday morning I woke up and felt great!  I didn't throw up while brushing my teeth, didn't get sick all day..it was great!  I didn't want to jinx it, but it's now been a week and I'm still doing good!  I'm still taking my nausea meds at night just to be on the safe side, but once I run out in the next week I think I'm going to be good.  I feel like a different person.  It feels so great to feel well again!

Last weekend, Adam and I decided to trade in the Prius for a new car.  Every year we joke about the Lexus December to Remember commercials and have said for years that it would be fun to get one of the cars with a big red bow.  This year, the commercials included a french bulldog.  We took it as a sign that it was time to pull the trigger!  Apparently the bows cost hundreds of dollars so we couldn't keep it, but our salesman humored me and outfitted the car with the big red bow so I could get a picture.  This will be our family car to drive baby Turner around in.  It's the first new car that either of us have purchased, so we are pretty excited. :)

Tonight was the fifth annual Christmas cookie exchange party hosted by Kim and Laura.  It was great to feel good and be able to enjoy all the cookies and time with my girlfriends.  I still have a few more things to take care of for school and clinic in Tucson, but I'm so excited to be living with my husband again and to only have ONE SEMESTER of grad school left!  Onto the weekly update.  I think I finally have a bump, but it mostly just looks like I've eaten too many burritos.

How far along: 14 weeks

Maternity clothes:  My pants are all officially too tight to wear.  I'm so glad it's leggings/sweater/boots weather, because that's ALL I have been wearing. I think it's time to invest in some maternity pants.

What I miss:  Yoga and exercise.  Now that I'm feeling better I'm ready to get back in to working out!

Exercise:  See above comment.

Cravings:  A lot of random stuff.  I just bought a bunch of cutie oranges at the store.  Eating is weird because I'll be just fine and then BAM! STARVING!  At that point I don't care what I eat, as long as I eat immediately.  

Aversions:  Salad.  I even have to pick the lettuce off any sandwich I'm eating.

Symptoms:  Right now mostly just still being tired (but not nearly as exhausted as I have been).  Aforementioned hunger…I feel like I'm constantly eating!

Labor signs: N/A

Best moments of the week:  So many!  New car! Finally feeling better!  Moving into our new house!  Christmas cookie exchange!
