Pregnancy Journal: Week 14

I've popped. Oh God, it's bad. My hips spread and my belly busted on the same day in one glorious burst of agony. Everything hurt. With my first pregnancy it was a gradual process that one day resulted in an eruption of stretch marks on my thighs. With my second pregnancy it happened over the course of a few days, with a few marks appearing around my belly button.

This time, it was an explosion of pain in about 8 hours and I swear you could watch the belly grow. It was crazy. My hips even widened out. I haven't noticed any new stretch marks, but it's still early... I'm definitely in maternity pants now all the time. Maternity shirts too because the regular ones give me a questionably fat appearance. Especially the horizontally striped number my husband let me wear in public. *face palm*

The morning sickness is all but gone now and the headaches are easing off, but I feel angry, all the time. A lot of that could be because I'm surrounded by idiots, but I feel like there's a hormonal aspect to it as well. I also spent the last few days obsessively looking up the "nub theory" and comparing it to last week's scan images... I didn't come up with a really good conclusion even though I had several shots to work with. It appears that the baby doesn't want anyone to know.
