Week 14 Update

Can't believe we are on week 14 already! 

Baby Mac is now the size of a lemon. 
Last Dr. appointment on June 14 was really neat, got to hear the babies heart beat!
Everything is going perfectly so far...

My week in summary... 

How far along: 14 weeks

Baby's size: A lemon! Which is funny cause I've really been loving lemons lately...

Sleep: Have only had one bad night where I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. Still sleeping on my stomach/side. Still getting up to pee at least once in the middle of the night. Waking up with left side tailbone pain the past week or so.

Maternity Clothes: Ughh... Yes. Finally broke down and bought a few things off Ebay, and as much as I hate to admit it, they are WAY more comfy. Sticking with a lot of non-maternity dresses and skirts also. Need to find a good paid of maternity yoga pants as my current ones are getting a little uncomfy.

Food cravings: Iced Tea, Water, Fruit

Food aversions: Fast food, Pizza

Symptoms I have: I have had some pains on my sides, googled it, and its normal. It's actually the stomach muscles stretching and making room for baby. I'm still really tired, but I think that is a product of my life right now, not so much the pregnancy.

Doctor’s Appointment: July 12.

Movement: Nope.

Belly Button: Innie.

Gender: Unknown - I'm convinced it's a girl though.

What I’m looking forward to: Being able to feel the baby move/kick. Finding out what it is!

What I miss: Nothing! I feel super fortunate to have had a very easy pregnancy so far. 

Here's what BabyCenter.com has to say about our week 14 updates...

"This week's big developments: Your 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 kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.

In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active."
