14 Weeks and Growing!

Your Baby: Week 14

Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.

About Me:

How far along? 14w4d

Total weight gain/loss: 1-2 lbs+

Maternity clothes? Had to go up one more button on my button extender this week, I may have to give in and get maternity jeans soon.

Stretch marks? a few but not from this lil' one

Sleep: having a hard time sleeping at night, I sleep more during the day than I should.

Best moment this week: Finding Lil' Pumpkins Heartbeat quickly with the doppler a few weeks ago I had to search for what seemed forever, now I can find it within seconds.

Movement:  I sometimes think I feel a tickle here and there but still haven't actually felt anything definite yet.

Food cravings: Watermelon Licorice Twists, Peach Tea, Squirt.

Gender: 5 weeks to go to see if we are team pink or team blue!!!!!

Belly Button in or out? in

What I miss: although I am happy to be pregnant, I have discovered that I'm becoming somewhat lactose intolerant. Too much milk or ice cream will have me in the bathroom in no time. So I miss not getting sick after drinking milk!

What I am looking forward to: 16 Week appt. on May 12th

Milestone: Making it to 14 weeks!

Symptoms-

sore and growing BB's ( I feel like Dolly Parton)

Frequent urination (Not as bad as a few weeks ago, only have to get up once a night now)

mood swings (unfortunately these are still going strong! Poor man!)
