Busy, Busy, Busy

It's amazing how a lil thing like getting pregnant turns a girl into a super planner. Not that I haven't always been a planner but now it's like I'm in overdrive. I need to make sure everything is going to be ok by the time the baby gets here so I'll only have to worry about focusing on my precious chocolate chip.

What that means is that, not only must I get my house in order now (I thought nesting wasn't supposed to start until like month 9!?), but I also have to make sure every facet of my job responsibilities will be met by the person who'll be covering for me while I'm out on maternity leave. I don't want to leave any question unanswered or any procedure left unexplained. I need to make sure the temp has all necessary information at her fingertips.

Needless to say, all of this planning has kept me from updating this blog on a more timely basis. So, I humbly apologize and hope that you won't hold it against me and stop checking in on my progress.

So let's get to it. Here's this week's update for your reading pleasure:

How far along? 14 weeks, 3 days
Total weight gain/loss: I'm showing, 'nuff said.
Stretch marks? Thankfully, no.
Sleep: Gotta have it!
Movement: None
Food cravings: This week it's been rice & veggies.
Gender: Still convinced it's a boy.
Labor Signs: None
What I miss: Not having acid reflux, gross!
What I am looking forward to: Seeing the baby at my appointment next week.

Milestones: Agreeing with hubby on some preliminary names for the chip.
