Each Monday, I'd like to do a  highlights post , including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from  Kelly .  I've done this with my three previous pregnancies (you can go to the search box and type in "pregnancy," or "week #" if you're interested in how my previous pregnancies progressed), as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on.   Pregnancy Highlights: How far along :  14 weeks (2nd Trimester!!) Size of baby:   This little one is 3 inches long and the size of a large lemon. Total weight gain/loss :  As of my last checkup, I had gained about 5 lbs since before I was pregnant.  I wasn't super fastidious about weighing myself pre-pregnancy, so I don't know how accurate that is, but I do know within a week of finding out we were expecting, my shorts stopped buttoning.

Each Sunday, I'd like to do a  highlights post , including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from  Kelly .  I did this with my pregnancy with Hadley, as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on.  I'll probably write these on Saturday nights and attach the picture the next day.  That way I can stay semi-technology free :) *Sidenote* , before we start this week's highlight's post:  Did you ever get a random song stuck in your head for weeks and weeks on end?  For most of this pregnancy, I've had that song "Baby Love" running randomly through my mind.  Mostly, it starts when I'm showering and soaping up my belly (TMI? Sorry...).  I start singing it and talking to the baby.  But, Y'ALL, the lyrics are terrible and should NOT be used in reference to an infant.  Nevertheless, because of this si...

I have NEVER had a post delete itself before.  It happened to this one. Good grief! I don't even remember what I typed, haha!! I'm going to try to recreate it as best as I can, but I know it won't be nearly as detailed.  Let's start with Zulily.  Have you heard of them?  I joined for free last week, and each day I get an email with daily deals on already-discounted maternity clothes, very cute baby/children's clothes, and other neat items.  Anyway, all that to say, if you decide to join and you end up purchasing one of their adorable items, I get a credit for sending you. So, if you're a mom or a soon-to-be mom, this site might be for you! :) On to the Highlights post!
