14 Weeks Pregnant

My tummy continues to grow as the little person inside me does.  He or she is around 8cm long and the size of my clenched fist and may have already learnt to suck their thumb!  Here is my 14 week bump shot:

On the outside

My bump is definitely growing  and for the first time last week I got asked
how long I had left as opposed to how far gone I was. The answer 27 weeks was clearly not what they were expecting!  I have been sent some lovely maternity bits from Crave maternity which is good as I can safely wear maternity clothes without looking silly now.  I am still wearing a lot of normal clothes but I do have some lovely summer dresses from my last pregnancy that fit well and I can't resist wearing them.

The most exciting development is that I have started to feel those little flutterings for the last few days.  About 4 times a day I can feel baby wriggling and kicking inside me and although they are only weak movements I definitely recognise them.  It is most noticeable if I eat something sweet and then sit down but I love the little tickles and the reassurance that little squish is wriggling away.

Tiredness is nearly gone although there is still the odd day I spend counting down until bed time from the moment I get up.  I still have no cravings as such although my fridge is scarily full of Dairylea dunkers jumbo tubes! Although being symptom free is a blessing I do worry and the movements are so reassuring and have put my mind at rest.  I am looking forward to seeing the midwife in a couple of weeks and hearing the heartbeat too.
