He's probably sucking his thumb and wiggling his toes in there!
His kidneys are making urine, and his liver and spleen are doing their jobs, too.
And he's growing lanugo, a thin, peach-fuzz-like hair, all over his body -- it will help him keep warm!
How Far Along: 14 weeks
Total Weight Gain: I've lost 5 pounds so far. It's not unusual for me to lose weight in the first trimester.
Sleep: It's good. I have to get up and pee at least once per night and I have 2-4 crazy dreams per week so that's always interesting.
Stretch Marks: The same ones I received from Jackson growing in there :]
Best Moment This Week: Reaching the second trimester!
Movement: I've been thinking that I've been feeling some wiggles but I will probably never know for sure until I feel that first, unmistakable kick. That doesn't stop me from laying on my back every night and pressing on my belly to see if baby will squirm for me.
Food Cravings: Mexican food, ice cream, chips, apples and peanut butter, grapes, chocolate, sugary cereal, french fries, muffins, nacho cheese (on chips),
Food Aversions: Lunch meat, bread, hamburger, chili, cheese, anything canned
Gender: We don't know yet. I'm hoping to be able to find out in the next few weeks! (I can't believe I'm at that point already!)
Labor Signs: None. Thank goodness.
Belly Button: Definitely in!
What I Miss: I miss being able to look in my fridge and not want to gag at some of the food. There is nothing really strange in our fridge, but when I think about certain foods or combos of foods I get queasy.
What I'm looking forward to: Feeling this baby MOVE and I cannot wait for the ultrasound. I want to make sure baby is healthy but it will also be nice to know if we're starting a new adventure with a little girl or if Jackson gets to have a sweet little brother.
