14 Weeks and Counting! 26 Weeks to go...

This past week, we hit our 14 week mark...26 to go!! Technically this is officially in my second trimester...woohoo!! I cant complain though because the first trimester wasn't so bad. I have still be having some headaches (but they have decreased in frequency) and food "indifference" (nothing ever sounds good to eat), but not much else. I do have some energy back and have been going to bed at my normal (later) time again. Since getting pregnant, I have actually lost weight, but I have a feeling at our next apt (in two weeks) I might have actually gained some. I can feel my stomach changing/expanding a little bit. I can still fit in most of my normal clothes, but do enjoy a loose fitting/flow-y dress or non constricting shorts/pants any day. I am thinking that I will post a baby bump picture around the 16 week mark where you can maybe actually see it. Anyway, I dont have much else to say, but will post the 14 week update from BabyCenter.com so you can see what all is happening with Baby Booth. 

How your baby's growing:
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.
