How far along? Currently, 14 weeks!
Total weight gain/measurements: Up 4 lbs so far. I was so nauseous through the first trimester that I found myself eating to keep the nausea at bay.
Maternity clothes: Not yet, but this BeBand has been my best friend!
Stretch marks: None to report and hoping to keep it that way. I'm lathering my belly in Burt's Bee's Mama Bee and Earth Mama Angel Baby Stretch Oil to try to avoid stretch marks at all costs!
Sleep: I am getting more than enough sleep, but ALWAYS feel exhausted. I'm hoping this goes away soon!
Best moment this week: Having a 4 day weekend for Thanksgiving and being able to eat my favorite foods!
Miss anything? Having energy!
Movement: I've only felt stretching. No baby movements yet!
Food cravings: Orange Juice has been my go to. I've always been craving Cuties, Strawberries, Pineapple, and anything sweet. What a dangerous slope I'm on!
Anything making you queasy or sick? I've not been a big fan of Mexican food {which I'm usually all about!} and Chicken that tastes Chickeny {I know that sounds crazy} is no good!
Gender: Hopefully finding out before Christmas!
Labor signs: No and let's keep it that way!
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: In the beginning it seemed that I was mostly happy, but as of lately, I'm super crabby and moody ALL the time! It's terrible!
Looking forward to: Thanksgiving and all the stuffing and pumpkin pie I get to eat!
Until next time!
Congratulations!!! I just found your blog after searching for the article 'an open letter to my fertile family' I read your post back in August and have the same story (molar pregnancy) and still ttc. I know its personal but could I ask if you had any medications or what worked for you??

Hi Jenn!
DeleteWe had been trying since April, when we were cleared of the Molar Pregnancy. It took us a while and I think I was stressing about it for a long time. The month we got pregnant was when I stopped charting, going on apps, temping, and even just thinking about TTC. I wasn't taking anything other than prenatals. I truly think it was the stress-free mindset that really helped us! Good luck and baby dust sent your way!
