The baby is definitly growing and my hips and legs can surely feel it. I have been trying to stretch and walk a lot. I'm sure it's helping, and it would be a lot worse if I wasn't doing that. I've missed a lot of church meetings and have sat around quite a bit, but try to get up and do housework, get out of the house, go visit people and spend time with Tim. At 14 weeks I'm still getting nauseous a lot and am extremely tired. Actually, I think it's gotten worse instead of better haha!
I learned some pretty interesting news the other day:
