First I have to share what happened last night. It was the middle of the night and I had just woken up from a nightmare that involved my mom telling me a “true” ghost story. I’m not sure what woke me up, but all of a sudden I heard some beeping and it sounded like my camera turned on and off, I could hear the lense going in and out. The first time I didn’t think much of it, but the next two times it scared the crap out of me. I refused to open my eyes because I didn’t want to see a ghost or let it know I was awake. So I tried to wake Matt up without being conspicuous, and told him to turn it off. He got up, turned on the light and said “it IS off.” Which scared me even more. So he went to sleep. Then the lense went in and out again. I woke Matt up, and he realized that my old camera was running out of batteries and that’s what was making the noise. So he took the batteries out. It still took me a couple hours to go back to sleep because I had gotten so scared. I kept thinking “what if the ghost is trying to take a picture of itself!” Lol I thought about just throwing it outside but that’s littering.
Yesterday we went to my parent’s for dinner because my brother is moving to Minnesota and it was his last night. So mom made enchiladas and we talked and watched Yo Gabba Gabba and then a movie. During dinner Caroline said “Why is Julie always coming here?” lol thanks Coco.
Sophie's idea of cuddling is climbing on top of you and shoving her face against your face as hard as possible.
On Wednesday we had our monthly doctor’s appointment. We heard the heartbeat, yay! It was 153 bpm. I asked the doctor if I’m going to show earlier since I’m short-waisted or if that just depends on the person. She said I will probably start to show earlier but some women get lucky and don’t show til after 20 weeks and hardly look pregnant. I told her I WANT a baby bump; I’m looking forward to it. I shan’t be ashamed of it. I can’t imagine I would ever get depressed about the weight gain. My mom told me I was beautiful all the time when I was a kid and as a result I am filled with a strong sense of conceit. In fact, although I had some body issues in high school, I was SO conceited that I assumed any boy who flirted with me must like me, and I figured the reason no one asked me out was because they must be intimidated by me. True story. I cringe when I read my high school journals, they are so embarrassing. I didn’t go on a rant and tell the doctor all of this by the way; I stopped at “I can’t wait to get a baby bump.”
We started taking pictures, I know its silly to take a picture in a brown shirt in front of the brown shower curtain, but oh well.

| I think this was 5 or 6 weeks, its basically just the "before" picture. |

| 14 weeks! I made it bigger since the color is so similar, I promise not to wear a dark brown shirt anymore. |
Total weight gain: Minus another 3 pounds. So I’m back at my high school weight. I’m trying to eat, but I keep getting full really fast.
Maternity clothes? I’m starting to look for some, my belly band is getting tight.
Best pregnancy moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat again, finding out that baby is only a little bit below my belly button.
Miss Anything? Eating normal portions.
Food cravings: Ice cream! Also, tacos made at home.
Food aversions: Same as always, but I’m feeling less turned off of things.
Gender: I’ve come to the conclusion that even if I don’t get a girl ever, I will be happy. Just as long as I don’t have boys that like to torture animals like on the movie we watched last night L
Symptoms: Not able to eat as much at one time, a little fatigue. Also my dreams might be more vivid but I’ve always had really vivid dreams. Sometimes I can control parts of my dream, I’ve ended a lot of nightmares that way.
Looking forward to: getting a baby bump that the average person will notice. Not the “is she pregnant or fat?” bump. But it’s getting there!
