No picture this week, due to a fairly busy weekend and no noticeable change in the ol' belly region.

How far along? 14 weeks 1 day.
Size of baby: The size of a lemon; about three and a half inches and 1.5 oz. 
Sleep: I think I'm getting a little more energy back, because I've been able to stay up until 10 most nights this week. I only have to wake up in the middle of the night to pee if I don't go right before bed.
Total weight gain: Holding steady at +2. 
Unglamorous body changes: I suppose the flawless skin couldn't last forever! My face and back broke out a little bit this week, but at least it only lasted a couple days.
Best moment this week: Hard to pick just one! It was my birthday this week, so we were able to celebrate that after my appointment where we heard the heartbeat again. We announced the pregnancy to the masses, which was fun. Then yesterday we went to the Josh Groban concert, which was fantastic. (Of course, the opening act had a lot of heavy bass, so I kept feeling vibrations throughout my body and I felt all sorts of guilty that our baby was possibly being rattled around in there. At least I know the baby's hearing hasn't developed yet, so it shouldn't suffer any hearing loss. Fingers crossed.)
Movement: Yeah . . . no. But I might be able to feel something in two more weeks if I'm lucky!
Maternity clothes: Nope. Though I did unbutton my jeans after going out to eat before the concert yesterday. (I know; I keep it classy.) I had a food baby on top of a regular baby!
Food cravings/aversions: Nothing is immediately coming to mind.
Symptoms: So, the pinching in the uterus I mentioned last week? Pretty sure those weren't round ligament pains. One night this week I felt this almost RIPPING sensation from my waist to my groin while I was in bed. Ouch. It didn't last very long, fortunately. I'm guessing that was round ligament pain. I also had a bit of heartburn for a little while one day, but that didn't last long, either.
Other tidbits: I've made it to second trimester! One-third of the way done! I told my principal yesterday, too, and he seemed happy for me. (I was pretty nervous about telling him, so I'm glad that's out of the way!)
