14 Weeks, 4 Days!

Welcome To The Second Trimester! Yay!!

How Far Long? 14 Weeks

Size of Baby? The size of a lemon

Total Weight Gain? 1 lb

Maternity Clothes? Still don't need them quite yet. There are a couple pair of pants that are starting to get uncomfortable when sitting or leaning forward though.

Sleep? Sleeping good.

Food Cravings? Fruit, sour stuff, orange juice, starting to get my chocolate appetite back.

Stretch Marks? None yet.

Gender? We find out at the end of February!

What I'm Looking Forward To: Feeling baby kick and move!

Weekly Wisdom: Do what you can and listen to your body. If you need to rest, then rest. If you have the energy, exercise or do a task you need done while you can!

Milestones: We've hit the 2nd Trimester!!! Woo hoo!! Baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His/Her kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He/She can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch baby sucking his thumb.


Emotions: Emotions were fairly stable this week! :o)


Symptoms: Can't eat a whole lot or big meals since I get full really fast. And when I'm full, I'm really uncomfortable! Breathing harder, particularly in the morning while getting ready. Don't know if it's from the warm shower, or a combo of shower, blow drying hair, makeup routine, but it really tires me out fast!
