14 weeks!


How far along: 14 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: not sure, I forgot to weigh myself again (as  you can tell I am not really concerned about it)
Maternity clothes: yup
Stretch marks: nope
Sleep:  Still peeing about 4 times a night, no more tummy time for the mommy to be.  I am having a hard time finding a new position to fall asleep in.
Best moment this week:   Thanksgiving with family and friends! 
Gender: to early to know still, but thinking they are boys
Belly button in or out?: In, but it is wider and not as deep
Craving: I did eat some pickles the other day that tasted AMAZING!   
What I miss: nada
What I am looking forward to:  Feeling them move, still nothing yet.

Milestones: Our first baby gift from their Aunt Robyn. Here is a pic, thanks Aunt Robyn for the diapers, does this mean you will come and change them often??  I hope so!


From Baby Center:  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.
