14 Weeks - Mexico!

We were lucky enough to spend this week in Cancun, Mexico, baby!  We went along with 3 other couples, our great friends, and spend time relaxing in the sun, eating (a lot!), and ... for most of us, drinking, drinking, drinking!!  Alas, I was unable to participate in that last part, however, it didn't take away from the trip at all! 

We stayed at the lovely Moon Palace Golf & Spa resort.  Our days consisted mostly of sunbathing, sipping cocktails, and counting down the minutes until our next meal :)  The food was amazing, and there were a number of restaurants in the resort to choose from.  Being an all-inclusive resort, we were able to eat anything, and more likely, EVERYTHING we wanted!

My most common symptom, exhaustion, apparently exists in Mexico, too.  I was hoping that I would leave it behind with the cold weather, but I wasn't so lucky. Around 1130 every night, I started conking out, so Dave would walk me back to our hotel room so I could get some sleep ...aannnnd ... I would wake up later than everyone else, too, hah! But the group was wonderful, and always considered how I was feeling throughout the trip.

Here is a picture of Dave and I headed to dinner one night. Here is my Week 14 picture:

 

How far along? 14 Weeks

Total weight gain: appox 5 pounds

Maternity clothes? a super cute tank top, and some leggins that aren't technically "maternity", but they're super comfortable! 

Stretch marks? no ... augh ... let's hope the answer to this is always NO

Sleep: sleeping great so far!
Best moment this week: spending time with our great friends and feeling their love and support everyday!
Miss Anything? this week it was tough not to have my WINE! ... and margaritas ... and cosmopolitans ... and ...the list goes on.  Also, not having sushi as the resort had some great sushi options!
Movement: not yet, but hopefully in a few more weeks!

Food cravings: not this week! I mostly just want everything I can't have
Anything making you queasy or sick: no, I've been very lucky.  I don't get sick from anything, but I find that I just don't want things that I normally eat.   I've eaten a salad for lunch almost everyday for years, and now, I have to gear myself up to get a salad.  I don't know why!!Have you started to show yet: A little bump so far.. but mostly I am just starting to look chubby!! I hate this in-between stage! I'm learning to find clothes that cover the bulge, like the shirt in this picture.
Gender prediction: I'm thinking it's a boy

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Nothing much, other than just being tired at night. It's not as bad as it was, though!
Belly Button in or out? in, thank god ... this freaks me out.
Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!!

Looking forward to: I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl!! We find out in about 4 weeks!
