Week 14 of Pregnancy 6

Week 14 of Pregnancy 6

Week 14 of Pregnancy 6

Officially in the second trimester and I’m feeling very not pregnant this week.

It’s been 2 weeks since my last appointment.

I’m not showing.

I’m feeling large.

It’s weird.

But, I don’t feel pregnant.

I know the doctor told me that I could come in whenever I wanted, even if it was just to hear the heartbeat, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. I feel like I’m wasting people’s valuable time just because I’m nervous. I’m 14 weeks. I’ve had zero signs of miscarriage since I’ve bled at week 4.

Yet, I’m still worried AF.

I can’t help it. It sucks. And I wish I didn’t think like this.

Oh, something really good. Let’s talk COFFEE. I have been trying week after week to integrate it back in and I still have not been able to tolerate. It just tastes disgusting.

Until this week!

I was finally able to drink an entire cup of coffee and actually enjoy it!

It had to be black though, which is okay with me. No creamer. No sugar. No nothing. Just plain ol’ black coffee.

It was as if the heavens opened and gave me some life back this week. Partially due to the fact that I’m in my second trimester now. And partially due to my black coffee 🙂

I also had to travel again this week.

This time I was supposed to go visit a customer and supplier. The customer is in South Carolina. The supplier is in North Carolina. I’ve made the exact same trip in the past. I fly into South Carolina, do what I need to do, and then I drive 4 hours to the supplier in North Carolina. Overall, it’s a 3 day trip. 

At the last minute, the supplier canceled. I had to rearrange my travel. I still ended up having a 3 day trip, but essentially I had 1 entire day with nothing to do. It was really nice. 

I attempted to get caught up on my blog. And I did a fairly decent job. 

I don’t even know what made me think about this, but in all my free time that day, I remembered that I had a gift card to get a massage. 

On a whim, I called the company and prayed that I could get in the next day to get a massage. Somehow, I was able to get in for a pregnancy massage. I couldn’t believe it. This place usually stays so freaking booked. I felt like it was meant to be. 

I had had such a nice, relaxing couple of days. I was not ready for it to end. My mind, body, and soul needed this.
